    Intelligent and integrated systems in Medicine and Biology
    (Chair: Victor Maojo, Polytechnical University of Madrid)

    Special session at KES'2002=20
    Sixth International Conference on Knowledge-Based Intelligent=20
    Information & Engineering Systems=20
    16, 17 & 18 September 2002=20
    Podere d'Ombriano, Crema, Italy

    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 (vmaojo@fi.upm.es), 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)
    Notification of acceptance: May 10-13, 2002
    Deadline for camera-ready papers: June 1, 2002

    The KES conference includes other sessions and activities that could
    be of interest for all participants. Some of those sessions will be
    also devoted to0 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.
