    Contributions are solicited for a special issue of the Artificial
    Intelligence in Medicine journal on the theme of "Bayesian Models in
    Medicine". This special issue is a follow-up to the highly successful
    workshop on the same theme, which was held during the AIME'01
    conference in Cascais, Portugal on 1st July 2001.

    Bayesian networks (also known as causal probabilistic networks) with
    their associated methods have now been around in medicine for more
    than a decade. They have become increasingly popular for representing
    and handling uncertain knowledge in medicine, for example for the
    classification of patients, the prediction of prognosis, and the
    selection of optimal treatment. Almost simultaneously, the use of
    Bayesian statistics in medicine has increased in popularity. Moreover,
    interest in Bayesian methods is emerging within bioinformatics,
    e.g. for building models for protein structure prediction and the
    interpretation of microarray gene expression data. This special issue
    aims to offer an impression of the current state of the art in these
    research fields.

    The papers (up to 20 pages) are to be submitted as a compressed
    Postscript file by e-mail before 1st June 2002 to all three
    special-issue editors and should be written in English with a brief
    abstract and 5 to 7 keywords. Preferably, the papers are produced
    using LaTeX.

    the editors:
