The second edition of SWAT4LS was held in Amsterdam Science Park on November 20th 2009. The workshop was attended by nearly sixty people, with a worldwide attendance, and received in total twenty-seven submissions, out of which fifteen for full papers and twelve for posters and demos. The final programme consisted of three keynotes, six talks, three short talks selected from posters, five demos, about ten posters and a panel discussion. The keynotes were given by Alan Ruttenberg (Semantic Web Technology to Support Studying the Relation of HLA Structure Variation to Disease), Michael Schroeder (Prediction of drug-target interactions from literature by context similarity) and Barend Mons (CWA: The meta-analysed Semantic Web, getting rid of ambiguity and redundancy). Overall, the programme was balanced between applications, tools and perspective contributions.
