===================================================================== FINAL Call for Papers ===================================================================== 5th International Workshop INTELLIGENT DATA ANALYSIS IN MEDICINE AND PHARMACOLOGY (IDAMAP-2000) Berlin, Tuesday, August 22, 2000 http://www.ifs.tuwien.ac.at/~silvia/idamap-2000 A call for papers for the Workshop at ECAI-2000 14th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence Co-Chairs: Nada Lavrac (J. Stefan Institute, Ljubljana, Slovenia) Silvia Miksch (Vienna University of Technology) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important dates: - Paper submission deadline: April 20, 2000 - Notification to Authors: May 18, 2000 - Camera-ready papers: June 1, 2000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
