Just for your information: I'm also chairing a satellite meeting at
ISMB/ECCB 2011 in July in Vienna:

Fifth International Workshop on Machine Learning in Systems Biology 
(MLSB 2011)
http://www.iscb.org/ismbeccb2011-program/satellite-meetings

(So I will be there anyway.) Please feel free to submit if you
have material relevant to the topic!

Best regards,
Stefan

>   - Collaborative Curation Platforms
>   - Collaborative Ontology Authoring and Peer-Review Mechanisms
>   - Automated ontology learning

> Following review, successful papers will be presented at the
