Intelligent and integrated systems in Medicine and
Biology
(Chair: Victor Maojo, Polytechnical University of Madrid) Special session at KES'2002
Sixth International Conference on Knowledge-Based Intelligent Information
&
Engineering Systems
16, 17 & 18 September 2002 http://www.brighton.ac.uk/kes/kes2002/ The
aim of this session is to give scholars and professionals of Medical
Informatics
and Bioinformatics the opportunity to gather, communicate and
exchange research ideas and results. During the last few years
a
new interest has appeared to stimulate a synergy between both disciplines,
combining
theories, methods and applications. Institutions such as the
European
Commission and US private and public organizations have
launched different initiatives to stimulate such interaction. In
this session, authors are encouraged to submit papers dealing with
all
aspects of intelligent information and knowledge processing,
analysis, and management in biomedicine. Particularly, methods or applications that could be common or reused in both Medical Informatics and Bioinformatics.
Topics of
interest include (but
are not limited to): Intelligent
decision-making in medicine and genetics Data
mining in biomedical research (e.g., clinical and genomic databases) Integrated
computer systems in biomedicine Intelligent
systems in medical and genetic education and research Intelligent
modelling in biomedicine Internet-based
methods for exchange of information among heterogeneous medical
and genetic sources Submissions
Papers
should be submitted for review in electronic format (preferably in
Word,
PDF or PostScript) to the Chair ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), using the subject-line "KES'2002 Special Session". Authors are encouraged to contact the chair expressing their intention to submit a paper.
Papers must be formatted as detailed in IOS Instructions for the Preparation of a Camera-Ready Manuscript (see
the KES 2002 homepage for details). The maximum
length
of papers is five pages (when prepared according to the IOS
instructions).
Longer papers will be subject to an additional page charge.
Please
note that final versions of accepted papers must be submitted in hard
copy. All
papers must be presented by one of the authors, who must pay the registration
fee. The
session papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings
(IOS
Press, Amsterdam, the Netherlands). Extended versions of selected
papers will be considered for publication in the KES
Journal (International Journal of Knowledge-Based Intelligent
Engineering
Systems). Important
Dates
Submission
deadline: April 30, 2002 (Note: this deadline is
different to general submissions to KES2002) Session

The KES conference includes other sessions and activities that could
be of interest
for all participants. Some of those sessions will be also devoted
to
Medical Informatics and Bioinformatics topics.
Additional
information for the KES conference KES2002 forms a truly international forum for the presentation of
recent work
and the exchange of ideas on Intelligent Systems and Techniques,
Applications of
Intelligent Techniques and related areas including Information
Technology and the Internet.
The conference will consist of plenary sessions, and
contributory sessions mainly
on the theory and applications of knowledge-based intelligent
information systems
including but not limited to the following
topics:
Generic Intelligent Techniques: Artificial neural networks, machine
learning, knowledge-based
& expert Systems, case-based reasoning, fuzzy and neuro-fuzzy
techniques, genetic algorithms,
artificial life, intelligent agents;
Applications of Intelligent Systems: Condition monitoring, fault
diagnosis, industrial control,
medical & diagnostic systems, image processing, machine &
computer vision, financial &
stock market monitoring and prediction, speech processing and
synthesis, natural language
processing, environmental monitoring, power electronics & drives,
high voltage systems,
engine control and vehicle applications
Allied Technologies:Communications, digital and computer
communications,
signal processing & wavelets, virtual reality, multi-media, the
internet and web-based
technologies, human-computer interfaces, E-commerce, computer pets,
software techniques, simulation.
