General information:
--------------------
IDAMAP-2000, an ECAI-2000 workshop, will be held in Berlin on August
22, 2000, immediately before the main ECAI-2000 conference, August
23-25, 2000. The workshop will last one full day. To encourage
interaction, the workshop will be kept small, preferably under 30
active participants.
This is the fifth international workshop on Intelligent Data Analysis
in Medicine and Pharmacology (IDAMAP). The former IDAMAP Workshops
were held in 1996 in Budapest, 1997 in Nagoya, 1998 in Brighton, and
1999 in Washington DC.
Workshop topics:
----------------
The topic of the workshop are computational methods for intelligent
data analysis in medicine and pharmacology that are able to exploit
the additional expert knowledge of the problem domain. Expert
physicians should be involved in the preparation of data for IDA
processes (e.g., data representation, modeling, cleaning, selection,
and transformation), as well as in the interpretation and exploitation
of results and their (potential) impact on medical practice.
* effective data mining techniques:
inductive learning, clustering, etc.
* temporal reasoning:
applications of IDA in patient monitoring or bio-signal processing,
interpretation of time-ordered data (derivation and revision of
temporal trends and other forms of temporal data abstraction),
* information visualization:
visualization of medical data and visualization of IDA results,
* case-based reasoning,
* construction of decision models to support medical decision making,
* discovery of new knowledge and trends,
* pharmacodynamical modeling,
* predicting drug activity, etc.
Emphasis will also be given to solving of problems, which result from
automated data collection in modern hospitals, such as analysis of
computer-based patient records (CPR), data warehousing tools,
intelligent
alarming, effective and efficient monitoring, etc.
The participants will be asked to address the following points:
- what kind of knowledge they have used and/or extracted;
- why they need to exploit the available prior knowledge in their problem;
- how they have represented the available knowledge;
- how they plan to use / have used the derived knowledge.
Important dates:
----------------
- Paper submission deadline: April 20, 2000
- Notification to Authors: May 18, 2000
- Camera-ready papers: June 1, 2000
Paper submission:
-----------------
We invite submission of long and short papers, to be sent to the
workshop chair Nada Lavrac. The length of long papers is max. 5000
words (10 pages) and length of short papers is about 1500 words (3
pages). Papers will be published in ECAI workshop notes.
Electronic submissions are encouraged:
- a gzip compressed PostScript
- an electronic version of the title page in plain ASCII
to be sent to
