CALL FOR PAPERS Special Session on Soft Computing in Medical Informatics part of The 11th European Conference on Artificial Neural Networks in Engineering, 27 - 29 August 2009, University of East London: http://www.uel.ac.uk/eann2009/
OVERVIEW: Medical informatics can be defined as the application of computer science, information science and data analysis to clinical decision making. The aim of this workshop is to bring together some of the latest developments resulting from the application of soft computing techniques to medical informatics, as defined above. By "soft computing", we mean computing techniques that tolerate systems and environments involving imprecision, uncertainty or approximation. These methods include machine learning, probabilistic reasoning, evolutionary computation, optimization, and fuzzy systems. Given the neural dimension of the parent conference, papers will be expected to have a neural-computational component. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Papers must be submitted using the same procedure as required for the main conference, but papers must be marked "Special Session on Soft Computing in Medical Informatics". PUBLICATION: Authors of the best papers will be invited to extend their papers (if required) for publication in a journal special issue to be announced. IMPORTANT DATES: 3 April 2009: Paper submission 1 May 2009: Notification of acceptance and reviewers comments 12 June 2009: Submission of final revised paper CO-ORDINATORS: Richard Dybowski & Aloysius Edoh PROGRAM COMMITTEE: Richard Dybowski (University of East London, UK) Aloysius Edoh (University of East London, UK) Ian Nabney (Aston University, UK) Marco Ramoni (Harvard University, USA) Stephen Rees (Aalborg University, Denmark) Bernadette Sharp (Staffordshire University, UK) Peter Weller (City University, UK) Please direct any enquiries to Richard Dybowski: rdybowski _______________________________________________ uai mailing list uai@ENGR.ORST.EDU https://secure.engr.oregonstate.edu/mailman/listinfo/uai
