The Network Tools and Applications in Biology (NETTAB) series of workshops in Bioinformatics held its “NETTAB 2012 workshop focused on integrated Bio-Search, 14-16 November 2012, Como, Italy.

The NETTAB 2012 workshop was held under the patronage of Bioinformatics Italian Society (BITS) and the European Molecular Biology network (EMBnet).

The event featured a range of lively and stimulating scientific sessions focused on innovative Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), tools, systems, applications and perspectives applied to the biomedical domain.

The EMBnet.journal is very pleased to publish the contributions to the workshop presented at this important event.

For this special issue (18.B), the selection of articles was overseen by the Conference Scientific Committee, while the layout and logistics were organised by the EMBnet.Journal Editorial Team.

For future conferences, our Online Journal System (OJS) can also be used for receiving, archiving and managing the full review process – note that we recently also published the proceedings of the Bioinformatics Italian Society (BITS) (Issue 18.A) 9th Annual Meeting, May 2-4, 2012, and the First Scientific Meeting of the COST Action, SeqAhead (issue 17.B).

We therefore welcome contributions from other Societies and Networks, and encourage interested parties to contact members of the Editorial Board.
