I hope this will be of interest to people using Taverna in the drug 
discovery arena.

You may be interested to hear that we are organising a session on 
workflow tools in the Division of Chemical Information (CINF) at the 
American Chemical Society Fall 2015 National Meeting in Boston, 
Massachusetts. The title of the symposium is “Workflow Tools & Data 
Pipelining in Drug Discovery” and will comprise a series oral 
presentations. The meeting takes place on August 16-20. Full details of 
the program can be found here:

We would are keen to have an exciting set of talks for this session, and 
hope you might be interested in participating. To do so we ask you need 
to submit an abstract by March 12.


We are expecting the session to cover a number of aspects of workflow 
tools, such as

  *

    the types of problem being solved

  *

    the approaches used

  *

    the technical solution chosen

  *

    the hurdles that had to be overcome

  *

    scalability and performance aspects

  *

    issues with deploying the solution to others

  *

    the balance between manual and automated approaches


Please also note that there is a separate lightning session that will 
allow products and solutions in this area to be presented. You might 
well want to participate in both sessions.


Finally, if you think this might be of interest to others, then please 
pass the message on.


Hoping we might see you in Boston in August.
