In an "aging society," health span extension is most important. As in 2010, talks in this series of meetings in Rostock-Warnemünde demonstrated that aging is an apparently very complex process, where computational work is most useful for gaining insights and to find interventions that counter aging and prevent or counteract aging-related diseases. The specific topics of this year's meeting entitled, "RoSyBA: Rostock Symposium on Systems Biology and Bioinformatics in Ageing Research," were primarily related to "Cancer and Aging" and also had a focus on work funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The next meeting in the series, scheduled for September 20-21, 2013, will focus on the use of ontologies for computational research into aging, stem cells, and cancer. Promoting knowledge formalization is also at the core of the set of proposed action items concluding this report.
在“老龄化社会”中,延长健康寿命最为重要。正如 2010 年罗斯托克-瓦尔内明德系列会议所表明的那样,老龄化显然是一个非常复杂的过程,计算工作对于深入了解和寻找对抗衰老、预防或对抗与衰老相关的疾病的干预措施最有帮助。今年题为“RoSyBA:罗斯托克衰老研究系统生物学和生物信息学研讨会”的会议的具体议题主要与“癌症与衰老”有关,也侧重于德国联邦教育与研究部(BMBF)资助的工作。该系列的下一次会议定于 2013 年 9 月 20 日至 21 日举行,将重点讨论本体在衰老、干细胞和癌症计算研究中的应用。促进知识形式化也是本报告中提出的一系列行动建议的核心。
