<h2>About</h2>
<p class="text-justify lead">
The recent advances in unraveling the secrets of human conditions and diseases have encouraged new
paradigms for their diagnosis and treatment. In addition, the recent pandemics have brought
increasing attention toward the genetic mechanisms of viruses and infected hosts. The information
related to these phenomena is increasing at unprecedented rates, directly impacting the design and
development of data management pipelines and their applications. New ways of processing and exposing
data and knowledge on the Web in healthcare and life sciences environments are thus strongly needed.
<br><br>
The WALS workshop, at its third edition, aims at being a meeting forum for Web Engineering, Data
Management, and Bioinformatics researchers working on life sciences problems, offering the
opportunity to share, discuss and find new approaches to support Search, Knowledge Extraction, and
Data Science on the Web, thereby achieving important results for healthcare, precision medicine,
biology, genomics, and virology.
<br><br>
The workshop welcomes submissions of fresh investigations and demonstrations concerning conceptual,
experimental, and applied studies of life sciences problems on the Web. Directions of particular
interest include: 1) monitoring and adaptation of Web Engineering techniques for life sciences; 2)
design and engineering of Web applications for resolving life sciences problems; 3) development of
crowdsourcing and collaborative strategies for life sciences data curation, integration, and
discovery.

<h2>Topics of interest</h2>
<p class="text-justify lead">
The workshop focuses on Web Engineering as a means for facing the challenges that emerge when
designing and developing applications for life sciences, focused on several branches such as
healthcare, precision medicine, molecular biology, genomics, and virology. The workshop is not
restricted to particular research methods, and we will consider conceptual, empirical, and applied
research (including practical demonstrations). The topics of interest include, but are not limited
to:

<h2>Post-conference publication</h2>
<p class="text-justify lead">
The papers accepted to the workshop, will be published within a Springer CCIS series volume
as per the usual tradition of the ICWE conference joint events (see last year's <a
href="https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-25380-5">ICWE 2022 Workshops</a>).
<br>
In addition, they will be invited to submit a revised and extended version
for a post-conference supplement in the journal
<a href="https://bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/" target="_blank"><b>BMC Bioinformatics</b></a>
or a similar venue (e.g., <a href="https://bmcmedinformdecismak.biomedcentral.com/" target="_blank"><b>BMC
Medical Informatics and Decision Making</b></a>),
depending on the topic.
</p>
<p>
The authors of accepted papers interested in submitting an extended article to a BMC
supplement will need to fill, sign, scan and submit the supplement submission letter of
interest.
This document is important for us so we can know how many extended articles we will receive.
<br>
The authors can read the BMC Bioinformatics guidelines <a
href="https://bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/submission-guidelines"
target="_blank">here</a> and the BMC Medical Informatics and
Decision Making guidelines <a
href="https://bmcmedinformdecismak.biomedcentral.com/submission-guidelines"
target="_blank">here</a>.
There are no page limits for the BMC journals.
The articles can be submitted on the <a hred="https://www.editorialmanager.com/supp/"
target="_blank">BMC Supplements website</a>.
<br>
The submitted extended articles will go through two review phases.
In the first phase, the organizers of the WALS 2022 workshop will serve as guest editors.
Some additional colleagues might be involved as additional guest editors, in case of high number of
submissions.
At the end of the first review phase, the guest editors will recommend the submitted extended
articles for acceptance or rejection,
and transfer them to the BMC journals' editor-in-chiefs who will take care of the second review
phase.
<br>
The BMC editor-in-chiefs can decide to confirm the guest editors' recommendations or to start a new
review phase (with new reviewers invited, new reviews, new requests, etc).
The BMC editor-in-chief will eventually make the final decision on the acceptance or rejection of
each extended manuscript.
<br>
Please note that, even if the guest editors suggest the acceptance for a specific paper, the BMC
editor-in-chief can still decide to reject it (this case is quite rare but it can still happen).

Fulll Professor and Director of the Research Center on "Métodos de Producción de Software (PROS)” at
the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (Spain). He received his Ph.D. in 1992. He was a researcher
at HP Labs, Bristol, UK. He has published more than four hundred research papers in conference
proceedings, journals and books, received numerous research grants from public institutions and
private industry, and been keynote speaker at several conferences and workshops. Chair of the ER
Steering Committee, and member of the SC of conferences as CAiSE, ESEM, ICWE, CIbSE or RCIS, his
research activities focus on conceptual modeling, web engineering, requirements engineering,
information systems, and model-based software production. He created the object-oriented, formal
specification language OASIS and the corresponding software production method OO-METHOD. He led the
research and development underlying CARE Technologies that was formed in 1996. CARE Technologies has
created an advanced MDA-based Conceptual Model Compiler called IntegraNova, a tool that produces a
final software product starting from a conceptual schema that represents system requirements. He is
an internationally recognized researcher in the domain of Conceptual Modeling, being ER Fellow since
2010 and having being awarded with the Peter C. Chen in 2017. He is currently leading a
multidisciplinary project linking Information Systems and Bioinformatics notions, oriented to
designing and implementing tools for Conceptual Modeling-based interpretation of the Human Genome

<b>Topic:</b> Data Intensive Domains in Genomic-based Life Science: Web Engineering Implications for
Personalized Health Care
<br><br>
<b>Talk abstract:</b>
Everybody accepts that understanding the Human Genome is a big challenge for the humanity. It will take
at the very least decades to achieve such a goal reasonably well. But new advances that are showing
promising results come continuously. Day after day new data are is provided and new information is
derived from them. As DNA sequencing technologies improve and evolve, it is an evidence that the rate of
data generation at a local level is increasing dramatically. The huge amount of generated data lead to
some sort of genomic data chaos, whose data intensive domain (DID) must be explotred. In the talk, how
this DID-based problems must be tackled will be considered, emphasizing the role of i) Conceptual
Modeling for data characterization, ii) Explainable AI and Machine Learning-based techniques for
providing a sound working support to generate valuable clinical information, and iii) Web Engineering to
provide the adequate working, practical environment. Using all these attractive software engineering,
data science and AI related solutions, there is an opportunity to reach a fascinating scientific
objective: understanding the secrets of life that the Genome Code hides. More and more data that relate
genotype and phenotype are available, with especially attractive clinical applications in the context of
Personalized Health Care. These ideas will be approached in the keynote, showing that the challenge of
understanding the human genome can suppose a conceptual revolution: understanding the genome could allow
to improve (even change or evolve) human being features, something that has never in our hands as
humans. A challenging discussion is warranteed.
