Call for Papers Special Issue of the Journal of Biomedical Informatics on Computerized Decision Support for Critical and Emergency Care
Guest Editors: Dominik Aronsky, MD PhD, Tze-Yun Leong, PhD, and Michael M. Shabot, MD Submission deadline: April 30, 2007 The critical and emergency care environments are complex, fast-paced, and information intensive settings. The information management tasks, decision analytic problems, and user acceptance challenges differ from other settings and require special methods for developing applications that support effective delivery and ensure high quality of patient care. The goal of this special issue of the Journal of Biomedical Informatics is to provide a forum for advanced research on new methods for computerized decision support in fast-paced clinical environments. In accordance with the editorial policies of the Journal, we are soliciting full-length article submissions that present and evaluate new methods rather than the application of existing approaches (see editorial guidelines at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/yjbin). In addition to original research papers, we are soliciting one or more methodological review papers in the issue and we welcome submissions in this category. Possible topics for this special issue include, but are not limited to: * Theoretical and applied decision support methodologies in complex, fast-paced settings * Machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques for representing, inferencing, and learning in resource-critical settings * Design, development, and evaluation strategies for decision support systems * Guideline-driven and evidence-based approaches for cost-effective care * Information integration and management from various sources * Intelligent data visualization * Intelligent interfaces for human-computer interaction * Cognitive aspects of decision support in information-intensive settings * Decision support to improve communication and the sharing of information Any questions regarding the special issue may be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Inquiries about suitability should include a short paragraph describing the primary objectives of the manuscript. We would welcome advance notice of your intention to submit a paper; simply send an email message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Submissions: Manuscripts should be submitted to the JBI authors’ gateway (http://ees.elsevier.com/jbi/) no later than April 30, 2007. Please be sure that your manuscript follows the JBI instructions for authors available on that web site. You will be offered an opportunity to specify the special issue as the preferred venue when you submit your manuscript to the gateway. Submissions will undergo standard peer review, and opportunities for revision will be provided as appropriate. Papers judged inappropriate for the special issue may be considered for publication in a regular issue of the Journal of Biomedical Informatics. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LEONG Tze Yun Department of Computer Science Tel: (65) 6516-6519 School of Computing Fax: (65) 6779-4580 National University of Singapore Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3 Science Drive 2 Web: www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~leongty Singapore 117543 *********************** "This email is confidential and may be privileged.
