11th Conference on: Artificial Intelligence in Medicine AIME 07, 07-11 July 2007 Amsterdam, The Netherlands Web site: http://www.aimedicine.eu/aime07 The AIME 07 conference will be held in Amsterdam starting from 07/07/07. AIME 07 is a unique opportunity to present and improve the international state of the art of AI in biomedical research from both perspectives of methodology and application. AIME 07 will include invited lectures, full and short papers, tutorials, workshops, and a doctoral consortium. The conference will be held in De Rode Hoed, which is a beautiful historic building in the centre of Amsterdam. Program Committee Chair: Riccardo Bellazzi, University of Pavia, Italy Local Organization Chair: Ameen Abu-Hanna, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands Doctoral Consortium Chair: Jim Hunter, University of Aberdeen, UK 1) INVITED SPEAKERS We are happy to announce our keynote speakers: Michael Berthold, University of Konstanz, Germany Peter Szolovits, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA 2) CALL FOR PAPERS Contact: Riccardo Bellazzi ([EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) IMPORTANT DATES 23 January 2007 Abstract Submission deadline 31 January 2007 Paper Submission deadline 30 March 2007 Notification of acceptance 17 April 2007 Camera-ready papers deadline 09-11 July 2007 AIME 07 Scientific Sessions Original long and short papers are sought on the development of theory, systems, and applications of AI in Medicine, including the exploitation of AI approaches to molecular medicine and biomedical informatics. Contributions to theory may include presentation or analysis of the properties of novel AI methods potentially useful in solving medical problems. Papers addressing theory should describe the development or the extension of AI methods and discuss the assumptions and limitations of the proposed methods and their novelty with respect to the state of the art. Papers addressing systems should describe the requirements, design and implementation of new AI-inspired tools and systems, and discuss their applicability in the medical field. Application papers should describe the implementation of AI systems to solve significant medical problems, and should present sufficient information to allow evaluation of the practical benefits of the system. The scope of the conference includes topics such as: Knowledge Acquisition and Management; Biomedical Ontologies and Terminologies; Machine Learning, Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining; Decision Support Systems; AI and Statistical Approaches: Decision Trees and Bayesian Belief Networks; Case-Based Reasoning, Neural Networks, Fuzzy Systems and Soft Computing; Spatial and Temporal Reasoning; Qualitative Modelling; Protocols, Guidelines, and Workflow Models; Natural Language Processing: Generation and Understanding; Biomedical Computer Vision, Imaging and Signal Interpretation; Intelligent Agents, Cooperative and Distributed Systems; Information Retrieval; Cognitive Modelling. 3) CALL FOR WORKSHOPS AND TUTORIALS Contact: Ameen Abu-Hanna ([EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) IMPORTANT DATES 15 Nov 2006 Deadline for proposals 01 Dec 2006 Notification of acceptance 15 May 2007 Camera-ready materials 07 Jul 2007 Tutorials at AIME 07 08 Jul 2007 Workshops at AIME 07 Workshops will address selected technical topics. They should have an informal atmosphere and will last for half or a whole day with ample time allotted for general discussion. A workshop will typically attract 20 to 40 participants. Tutorials focus on topics relating to theoretical and applied aspects of AI in Biomedicine. They will last for 4 hours and will typically attract up to 20 participants. Attendees at tutorials and workshops do not necessarily need to register for the main AIME 07 conference. 4) CALL FOR DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM SUBMISSIONS Contact: Jim Hunter ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) IMPORTANT DATES 27 March 2007 Paper submission deadline 01 May 2007 Notification of acceptance 15 May 2007 Camera-ready papers deadline 07 July 2007 Doctoral Consortium at AIME 07 The aim of the AIME 07 Doctoral Consortium is to support the research done by doctoral students with constructive remarks and feedback from prominent scientists in the AIM field. About 6 - 8 Ph.D. students will make presentations, which will be commented on by two members of a panel with substantial experience in the field. The session will conclude with a discussion of general questions related to Ph.D. research. -- Riccardo Bellazzi, PhD Associate Professor Dipartimento di Informatica e Sistemistica University of Pavia e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] tel: +39-0382-985720, +39-0382-985511 fax: +39-0382-985373 _______________________________________________ uai mailing list uai@ENGR.ORST.EDU https://secure.engr.oregonstate.edu/mailman/listinfo/uai
