9:35 ELIXIR: A Sustainable Infrastructure for Biological Information in Europe
Andrew Lyall, Ph.D., ELIXIR Project Manager, European Bioinformatics Institute
It is widely accepted within Europe that a sustainable infrastructure for biological information is a prerequisite for significant progress in tackling the Grand Challenges of healthcare for an aging population, security of food supply and environmental protection. ELIXIR is a pan-European project to create such an infrastructure. The talk will describe ELIXIR, progress to date and future directions.
10:05 Same Procedure as Every Year?
Etzard Stolte, Ph.D., Global Head Strategy & Architecture, R&D Informatics, F. Hoffmann La Roche AG
It seems that little has been changing for many years, when it comes to the way information systems in the life sciences are developed, deployed, and managed. This presentation will attempt to provide examples of what actually has been learned, as the Life Sciences have to deal with larger and more complex data management and analysis. This high level review will focus on real systems, if they delivered what they were meant to deliver, and what, if at all, later systems could build upon.
10:35 Coffee Break - Networking with Sponsor
11:15 MIBBI: Minimum Reporting Guidelines for Bioscientists
Chris Taylor, Ph.D., Senior Technical Officer, European Bioinformatics Institute
The last ten years have seen significant progress in various bioscience fields towards standardized guidance for reporting public research, aiming to raise the annotation quality and utility of publicly-available bioscience data. MIBBI integrates the outputs of that (necessarily piecemeal) development, presenting users with a unified set of guidelines ‘modules’ that can easily be assembled and accessed in various forms.
11:45 FuturICT: Towards Socially Interactive ICT and Global Scale Models

14:35 Clouds and Bioinformatics
Folker Meyer, Ph.D., Computational Biologist, Institute for Genomics and Systems Biology, Argonne National Lab
New clouds or infrastructure as a service (IAAS) architectures are becoming available. Bioinformatics is ideally positioned to use them, but existing applications require extensive modifications to efficiently use the new environment. I will present a use case, showing the changes made to the popular MG-RAST web service backend to allow the use of “the cloud”.

15:05 Next Generation of NGS Data Management and IT Considerations
Rolf Porsche, Ph.D., IBM Partner, Head of Pharma, Life Sciences and Healthcare, IBM
IBM is currently working with leading Sequencing Centers on data management challenges posed by whole genome sequencing activities. It is shown how leading edge hardware and software solutions can be used to address the related extreme requirements. In addition, IBM Research has partnered with Roche 454 to develop a new “DNA Transistor” based sequencing technology. While the technical challenges are significant, the partners are optimistic about being able to succeed with this exciting project. This discussion will also include information on current IT infrastructure for NGS as well as discussions on HPC Clouds.

16:15 Simplifying Scientific Collaboration with the Cloud
Detlef Labrenz, Sales Representative, DataDirect Networks, Inc.
Research often calls for collaboration among teams spread across remote locations. This discussion will describe how iRODS and DataDirect’s WOS Object Storage system work together to create a distributed private storage cloud that manages replication and data protection and a framework to manage access to the data across disparate organizations.

16:45 NGS-AaaS: Next-Generation Sequencing-Annotation as a Service
Robert Haines,Research Computing Services, University of Manchester
Next-Generation Sequencing technologies bring genome-wide sequencing within the reach of a greater number of research labs. The $1000 genome, however, is accompanied by the $100,000 analysis. To enable labs with limited bioinformatics capability or local compute provision to benefit from NGS, we are using the commercial Amazon EC2 cloud and the open source Taverna workflow system to operate an on-demand, low cost, on-line analytics service for DNA analysis. As a case study we will present an AaaS application for understanding genetic variation between cattle breeds.
17:15 The Atlas Platform for Secure Life Science Applications in the Cloud
Misha Kapushesky, Functional Genomics Team Leader, Microarray Informatic, European Bioinformatics Institute
17:45 UPPNEX - A Solution for Next Generation Sequencing Data Management and Analysis
Ola Spjuth, Ph.D., Scientific Coordinator, UPPNEX; Application Expert, UPPMAX, Uppsala University
Jonas Hagberg, M.Sc., Project Leader, UPPNEX; System Expert, UPPMAX, Uppsala University
UPPNEX and System Expert, UPPMAX, Uppsala University UPPNEX is the Swedish national project for next-generation sequencing data management and analysis using a shared computational cluster with a parallel file system, a graphical client for end users, a web-based knowledge base, and associated system- and application experts. We here present how UPPNEX tackles the many challenges when providing solutions for scientists in the rapidly evolving NGS landscape.
