                   International Symposium on Medical Data
                                   Analysis
                                  ISMDA 2000

	                    Sept. 29-30, 2000 - Frankfurt, Germany


The first International Symposium on Medical
Data Analysis (ISMDA-2000) fosters the
 interdisciplinary approach of statistics,
signal processing, neural networks, data
 mining and biometrics for medical data
analysis in order to learn from each other. It
will provide an international forum for the
sharing and exchange of original research
results, ideas and practical development
 experiences among researchers and application
developers from different medical application
related areas dealing with the analysis of
medical data and its impacts such as

   * medical data mining and predictions,
     knowledge discovery
   * machine learning, medical knowledge
     acquisition
   * on-line monitoring
   * time series analysis
   * neural networks, fuzzy computing,
     evolutionary algorithms
   * survival analysis
   * cluster analysis, state space analysis
     for medical applications
   * Bayesian networks
   * dependency analysis, sensitivity
     analysis
   * medical decision support systems
   * prognostic models
   * modeling of medical systems
   * medical data visualization
   * architectures for collecting, exchange
     and analysis of medical data
   * software tools for medical data analysis

This list is not exhaustive. Papers on all
aspects of medical data analysis and
prediction are welcome. Both research and
applications papers are solicited. All
submitted papers will be reviewed on the basis
of technical quality, relevance, originality,
significance, and clarity.
Accepted papers will appear in the conference
proceedings and are intended to be published
by Springer-Verlag,Heidelberg.
