Second Call for Papers
AIME'01
Eighth European Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
1- 4 July 2001, Cascais, Portugal
The European Society for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (AIME),
established in 1986, aims at fostering fundamental and applied research
in the application of Artificial Intelligence techniques to medical care
and medical research, providing a forum for reporting significant
results achieved at biennial conferences. This conference will be the
next of a series of international conferences, held biennially over the
last 14 years
SCOPE
Original contributions are sought regarding the development of theory,
techniques, and applications of AI in Medicine, including the evaluation
of health care programmes. Contributions to theory may include
presentation or analysis of the properties of novel AI methodologies
potentially useful to solve medical problems. Papers on techniques
should describe the development or the extension of AI methods and their
implementation, and discuss the assumptions and limitations of the
proposed methods. Application papers should describe the implementation
of AI systems to solve significant medical problems, and should present
sufficient information to allow evaluation of the practical benefits of
the system.
The scope includes the following areas:
· Knowledge acquisition and its representation, refinement, validation
and maintenance
· Machine learning and data mining
· Decision support systems, including knowledge based systems, neural
networks, belief networks, and statistical models
· Uncertain, temporal, and case based reasoning
· Planning and scheduling
· Natural language generation and understanding
· Computer vision, image and signal interpretation
· Intelligent agents and information retrieval
· Telemedicine and knowledge management in intranets and the Internet,
including careflow systems
· Cognitive modeling
PAPER SUBMISSION
Papers should not exceed 5000 words, or a maximum of 10 pages, and
should be formatted according to Springer’s LNCS format. See details in
