SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
Artificial Intelligence in Medicine 2013
Murcia, Spain, May 29 - June 1, 2013
www.aimedicine.info/aime13
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, France, in 1987 to Bled, Slovenia, in 2011, held
biennially over the last 24 years. Next year, the AIME 2013 conference will be
held in Murcia, Spain. The AIME 2013 conference will be a unique opportunity to
present and improve the international state of the art of AI in Medicine from
perspectives of theory, methodology, and application. For this purpose, AIME
2013 will include invited lectures, full and short papers, tutorials,
workshops, and a doctoral consortium. Specific attention will be given in the
main conference to the theme "AI in Telemedicine and eHealth".
PROGRAM AT A GLANCE
May 29, 2013: Doctoral symposium and tutorials
May 30-31, 2013: Main conference programme
June 1, 2013: Workshops
INVITED SPEAKERS
Hermie Hermens, University of Twente, The Netherlands.
Dominik Aronsky, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, USA.
SCOPE
We invite you to submit original contributions regarding the development of
theory, methods, systems, and applications of AI in BioMedicine, including the
application of AI approaches in biomedical informatics, healthcare organization
and molecular medicine. A specific focus for the AIME 2013 conference is the
role of AI in telemedicine and eHealth systems.
Contributions to theory and methods should present or analyse novel AI theories
or methodologies for solving problems in the biomedical field. It is equally
possible to develop new theories or methods, as well as to extend existing
ones. In both cases, the work should demonstrate its utility for solving
biomedical problems and highlight its contribution to the underlying
theoretical basis. In addition, assumptions and limitations should be
discussed, and novelty with respect to the state of the art.
Contributions addressing systems and applications should describe the
development, implementation or evaluation of innovative, AI-based tools and
systems in the biomedical application domain. These papers should both link the
work to underlying theory, and either analyse the potential benefits to solve
biomedical problems, or present empirical evidence of benefits in clinical
practice.
The scope of the conference includes the following areas:
* Clinical Decision Support Systems
* Machine Learning, Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining
* Biomedical Ontologies and Terminologies
* Bayesian Networks and Reasoning under Uncertainty
* Temporal and Spatial Representation and Reasoning
* Computerized Clinical Practice Guidelines and Protocols
* Healthcare Process and Workflow Management
* Biomedical Knowledge Acquisition and Knowledge Management
* AI methods in Telemedicine and eHealth
* Case-based Reasoning in Biomedicine
* Document Classification and Information Retrieval
* Biomedical Image and Signal Processing
* Visual Analytics in Biomedicine
* Natural Language Processing
* AI solutions for Ambient Assisted Living
PAPER SUBMISSION
The conference features regular papers, in two categories:
1. Full research papers (up to 10 pages)
2. Short papers (up to 5 pages) describing either
a. a short research project
b. demonstration of implemented systems
c. 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) and
submitted through the EasyChair conference system. Authors are asked to submit
an abstract first, and upload the full paper one week later. The paper
submission web page is available at
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aime2013.
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 Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
journal (Elsevier).
MARIO STEFANELLI AND MARCO RAMONI BEST PAPER AWARDS
The best student paper will receive an award honoring Mario Stefanelli from the
University of Pavia and his accomplishments. Mario Stefanelli was one of the
founders of the AIME community, an inspiration to us all, and actively helped
in advancing young researchers in our field. Selection of the best student
paper will be performed by the Program Committee, and based on the quality of
both the paper and the oral presentation at the conference.
The best paper in bioinformatics will receive an award honoring Marco Ramoni.
Marco Ramoni was an outstandingly respected faculty member at Harvard, USA, and
contributed to significant advances in the biomedical informatics field.
Selection of the best paper in bioinformatics will be performed by the Program
Committee, based on the quality of the paper.
SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS FOR WORKSHOPS AND TUTORIALS
As in previous AIME conferences, proposals for the organization of tutorials
and satellite workshops are sought regarding any of the above topic areas.
Proposals for tutorials and workshops should be sent by email to Niels Peek
(n.b.p...@amc.uva.nl).
