This workshop, held in conjunction with IEEE BIBM 2014, aims to provide a forum for nanoinformatics community to exchange ideas and discuss the latest research developments across broad aspects of nanomedicine and environmental health impact assessment of nanomaterials. The workshop welcomes high-quality papers (theoretical, empirical, or computational) from any aspect of nanoinformatics that includes, but is not limited to, the topics listed below (not in order of preference):
Data management and database development for nanomaterials
Ontology and meta-data design for nanomaterial data
Nanomaterial data standards and interoperation/sharing protocols
Nanomaterial characterization (i.e., physicochemical/structural properties)
Text/Literature mining for nanomaterial data collection and integration
Analysis/Quantification for nano-images (e.g., TEM images of nanomaterials, images generated from in-vivo high-throughput screening of nano-bioactivity)
Assessment of the value of information in nanomaterial data
Data mining/Machine learning for nanomaterial data, particularly the development of (quantitative) structure-activity relationships for nanomaterials (i.e., nano-(Q)SARs)
Simulation for nanomaterial fate & transport, nano-bio interactions
Computing applications for nanomedicine (e.g., drug delivery systems (nano-excipient), diagnosis and prevention, and safe disposal of nanomedicine as household goods)
Visualization of nanomaterial data
Environmental and health risk assessment, life-cycle analysis, and regulatory decision making for nanomaterials
Assessment of ethical and social issues of nanotechnology
Infrastructure (frameworks/software/tools/resources) for nanoinformatics
