           ARTIFICIAL  INTELLIGENCE  in  MEDICINE

                 SPECIAL   ISSUE   on
   KNOWLEDGE - BASED  NEUROCOMPUTING  in  MEDICINE
***************************************************************************



The journal Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
(http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/artmed) invites contributions
for a Special Issue on Knowledge-Based Neurocomputing in Medicine. Full
papers should be sent to
the address below and are due by 31 August 2001. The journal's web site
contains guidelines for authors.

Knowledge-Based Neurocomputing, the topic of a recently published
book (http://www.i-u.de/schools/cloete/book.htm) edited by Ian Cloete and
Jacek M. Zurada, focuses
on methods to encode prior knowledge and to extract, refine, and revise
knowledge within a neurocomputing
system. The journal calls for papers on knowledge-based artificial neural
networks within a medical
application area.

A paper should address at least the following three components:
neurocomputing, processing of knowledge,
and a medical application area. Of course state-of-the-art research is
required, however, the contributions
may either be theoretical with a medical line of thought or medical
application-oriented with results and a
discussion. Each contribution may be 20 to 25 pages long.

Further information on the call for papers will be posted on the web
page    http://www.i-u.de/schools/cloete/aimcfp.htm
