Workshop on CBR in the Health Sciences
The Fifth International Conference
on Case-Based Reasoning (ICCBR-03)
Trondheim, Norway
June 24, 2003
Call for Papers
Since its early years, CBR, like Artificial Intelligence in general,
has been applied in particular to the health sciences. There is now a
significant corpus of health sciences applications, in which CBR is
used as a standalone AI methodology or as a complement to other AI
methodologies. The goals of this workshop are to:
* Provide a forum for identifying important contributions and opportunities
for research on the application of CBR to the health sciences
* Promote the systematic study of how to apply CBR to the health sciences
* Showcase applications of CBR in the health sciences
Some of the technical issues addressed, and potential outcomes of the
workshop, are to identify preferred types and domains of applications,
challenges specific to applying CBR to the health sciences, and guidelines
to better develop CBR systems in this domain. We would like to build a
roadmap of what we have accomplished, what we have learned from our
experiences, and where we should direct future research efforts.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
* Integration of CBR in health care environments
* CBR in medical decision-support systems
* CBR in medical imaging
* CBR in enabling technologies for those with physical disabilities or
chronic health problems
* CBR and knowledge discovery in medicine and the health sciences
* Cognitive approaches to applying CBR to medicine
* Theoretical framework for CBR in medical reasoning
Paper presentations will be interspersed with discussions in which we
characterize, categorize, and discuss the benefits of specific CBR
applications in the health sciences. A wrap-up round table discussion
will summarize the lessons learnt, issues identified, and future directions.
Submission Requirements
PostScript (compressed and uuencoded) or PDF paper submissions should be
formatted according to Springer LNCS format, which is the format required
for the final camera ready copy, with a maximum of eight pages. Shorter
papers are also welcome. Author's instructions along with LaTeX and Word
macro files are available at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.
Accepted submissions will be distributed and included in a technical report.
We will not accept papers that are exact duplicates of others, but we
welcome papers that are modifications of them that focus on CBR in the
Health Sciences. For example, submissions summarizing previously published
material relating to this workshop's topic are welcomed. In your submissions
and finalized papers, please cite the other publication and indicate clearly
its relationship to this workshop's paper.
Please upload submissions to the electronic submission site:
