for the 12th Conference on
Artificial Intelligence in MEdicine
July 18 - 22, 2009, Verona, I

****************************************
The European Society for Artificial Intelligence in MEdicine (AIME),
was established in 1986 with two main goals:
1. to foster fundamental and applied research in the application
of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to medical care and medical
research, and
2. to provide a forum for reporting significant results achieved
at biennial conferences.
A major activity of this society has been a series of international
conferences, from Marseille (FR) in 1987 to Amsterdam (NL) in 2007,
held biennially over the last 20 years.
The AIME'09 conference will be a unique opportunity to present and
improve the international state of the art of AI in BioMedicine from
both perspectives of theory, methodology, and application.
For this purpose, AIME'09 will include invited lectures, full and
short papers, tutorials, workshops, and a doctoral consortium.
The conference will be held in Verona - Italy.
SCOPE
Original contributions are sought regarding the development of theory,
techniques, and applications of AI in BioMedicine, 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 methodologies potentially useful to solve
biomedical problems.
Papers on techniques should describe the development or the extension
of AI methods and their implementation, and discuss the assumptions
and limitations of the proposed methods.
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.
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 and to healthcare organizational aspects.
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 the following areas:
* Knowledge Acquisition and Management
* Machine Learning, Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining
* Biomedical Ontologies and Terminologies
* Decision Support Systems
* Neural Networks and Belief Networks
* Reasoning under Uncertainty
* Temporal and Spatial Representation and Reasoning
* Case-Based Reasoning
* Planning and Scheduling
* Protocols and Guidelines
* Information Retrieval
* Natural Language Generation and Understanding
* Biomedical Computer Vision, Imaging, and Signal Interpretation
* Intelligent Agents
* Telemedicine and Cooperative Systems
* Cognitive Modelling
* Healthcare Process Management
SUBMISSIONS OVERVIEW
There are two categories of paper submission
1. Full research papers (up to 10 pages)
2. Short papers (up to 5 pages) that:
* are short research papers
* demonstrate implemented systems
* describe late-breaking results (work-in-progress)
Papers should be formatted according to Springer's LNCS format (see www.springeronline.com/lncs
or www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).
Authors are strongly encouraged to submit the papers electronically,
following the instructions provided in the conference web page (see
below).
All accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings which
will be published as part of Springer's "Lecture Notes in AI" series.
In addition, the authors of the best submissions will be invited to
expand and refine their papers for possible publication in the journal
Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (Elsevier).
As in previous AIME conferences, proposals for the organisation of
tutorials and satellite workshops are sought regarding any of the
above topic areas.
