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.
