Informatics Challenges for Start-Up Companies

Division of Chemical Information

 

This symposium is intended for discussion of the unique informatics challenges facing start-up companies. Talks for this symposium may deal on any aspect of cheminformatics, bioinorganics, or management of other scientific information. This includes such topics as.

 

1)   Managing information with limited resources (money and support staff)

2)   Commercial versus customized information management systems for your workplace.

3)   Making applications from different sources work together.

4)   How to efficiently share information across different groups or departments

5)   Integrating information with partners or other collaborators.

6)   Standardizing hardware/software for increased efficiency.

7)   Registration systems for internal databases

 

Talks may focus on either solutions for these issues, or discussion of the problems that still confront organizations in informatics handling. Speakers are not limited to those working at start-ups. Anyone with knowledge in this area is welcome to submit an abstract.

 

Until November 23, abstracts may be entered electronically, via the OASYS system on the ACS web site (www.oasys.acs.org), then select Division of Chemical Information (CINF). After that date or, if you have problems, please send abstracts directly to me (terryw_at_mdli.com).

 

Thanks for your interest.
