CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue on Intelligent Biomedical Data, Signal and Image Analysis
Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
(http://www.aiimjournal.com/)
About the Special Issue:
The continually expanding volume of electronically-stored biomedical
data in conjunction with the recent advances in data mining and machine
learning techniques and the high processing power available today
resulted in intelligent data analysis becoming increasingly important in
healthcare. Data mining and machine learning techniques have been used
for identifying meaningful patterns in large repositories of
high-dimensional data and deriving important medical knowledge from
them. Some examples are the intelligent analysis of high-dimensional
proteomic data for the early detection of cancer, the analysis of gene
expression data for discovering subtypes of tumors and the analysis of
carotid plaque images for assessing the risk of stroke. The list of
applications is large and continually growing and so does the impact of
mining biomedical data in the delivery of health care services. Despite
this encouraging progress in the development and application of data
mining and machine learning techniques to biomedical tasks there are
still many challenging issues of this field that have not yet been
adequately addressed and many important biomedical problems that have
not yet been studied and would greatly benefit from the exploitation of
such techniques.
The main focus of this special issue is on recent advances of biomedical
data mining techniques and on novel applications of such techniques to
biomedical data, signals and images. We welcome authors to submit their
original research articles, as well as comprehensive reviews. This
special issue is expected to be useful and informative to data mining
and medical researchers as well as medical practitioners. Besides the
dissemination of the latest results and findings on the intelligent
analysis of biomedical data it is expected that this special issue will
deliver new ideas and identify directions for future studies.
The topics of this special issue include, but are not limited to:
* Biomedical data mining
* Clinical decision support systems
* Mining large unstructured data sources
* Combination of structured and unstructured data
* Intelligent data analysis in bio- and clinical medicine
* Intelligent analysis of genomic and proteomic data
* Intelligent medical image analysis
* Intelligent medical signal processing
* Differential diagnosis
* Disease detection
* Disease progression / management
* Medical text analysis
* Drug discovery
* Data and knowledge representation / aquisition
* Patient care
* Personalised medicine
Paper submission and review:
Manuscripts must follow the AIIM guidelines. Details regarding the
submission format and the on-line submission site can be found at:
http://ees.elsevier.com/aiim/. *All manuscripts should indicate in the
comments page of the submission process that they are being submitted
for the Special Issue on Intelligent Biomedical Data, Signal and Image
Analysis.*
All submitted manuscripts must be of high quality and will be evaluated
based on their originality, presentation, relevance and contribution to
the field, as well as their suitability to the special issue, and their
overall quality. The refereeing will be at the same level as in any of
the major journal publications in the area. The submitted manuscripts
must be written in excellent English and describe original research
which has not been published nor currently under review by other
journals or conferences. Previously published conference/workshop papers
should be clearly identified by the authors (at the submission stage)
and an explanation should be provided how such papers have been extended
to be considered for this special issue. Guest editors will make an
initial determination of the suitability and scope of all submissions.
Manuscripts that either lack originality, clarity in presentation or
fall outside the scope of the special issue will not be sent for review
and the authors will be promptly informed in such cases. The final
decisions for all manuscripts will be taken by the Editor-in-Chief of
the journal at the end of the review process.
Important dates:
Manuscript submission deadline: February 15, 2013
Notification of initial decisions: May 15, 2013
Revised submission deadline: July 31, 2013
Notification of final decisions: September 30, 2013
Final manuscripts: October 31, 2013
