Applied Intelligence Special Issue on CBR in the Health Sciences
Call for Papers There has been an explosion of interest in health sciences applications of CBR, not only in the traditional CBR in Medicine domain, but also in bioinformatics, enabling home health care technologies, CBR integration, and synergies between CBR and knowledge discovery. The goals of this special issue are to: * identify important contributions and opportunities for research on the application of CBR to the health sciences * promote the systematic study of how to apply CBR to the health sciences * present applications of CBR in the health sciences. Some of the technical issues addressed are to identify challenges specific to applying CBR to the health sciences, required methodological improvements to fit this context needs, preferred types and domains of applications, and guidelines to better develop CBR systems in this domain. We welcome all those interested in the problems and promise of CBR in the health sciences, whether or not they have participated in the specialized workshops on CBR in the health sciences. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Integration of CBR in health care environments * CBR in medical decision-support systems * CBR in medical imaging * CBR in enabling technologies for those with physical disabilities or chronic health problems * CBR and knowledge discovery in medicine and the health sciences * Cognitive approaches to applying CBR to medicine * Theoretical framework for CBR in medical reasoning * CBR in bioinformatics * CBR and evidence-based medicine. Submission Requirements Papers should be formatted according to Applied Intelligence Springer format, with a maximum of forty double spaced pages, and submitted through the http://apin.edmgr.com web site.
