First Call for Papers Artificial Intelligence in Medicine 2015 Pavia,
Italy, June 17-20, 2015 http://aime15.aimedicine.info/
The European Society for Artificial Intelligence in MEdicine (AIME) was
established in 1986 with two main goals:
1. To foster fundamental and applied research in the application of
Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to medical care and medical
research, and
2. To provide a forum for reporting significant results achieved at
biennial conferences.
A major activity of this society has been a series of international
conferences, from Marseille, France, in 1987 to Murcia, Spain in 2013, held
biennially over the last 24 years. Next year, the AIME 2015 conference will
be held in Pavia, Italy
The AIME 2015 conference will be a unique opportunity to present and
improve the international state of the art of AI in Medicine from
perspectives of theory, methodology, and application. For this purpose,
AIME 2015 will include invited lectures, full and short papers, tutorials,
workshops, and a doctoral consortium. Specific attention will be given in
the main conference to the theme "AI methods and approaches to address big
biomedical data challenges"
*Program at a Glance*
June 17, 2015: Doctoral Consortium and tutorials
June 18-19, 2015: Main conference programme
June 20, 2015: Workshops
*Scope*
We invite you to submit original contributions regarding the development of
theory, methods, systems, and applications of AI in BioMedicine, including
the application of AI approaches in biomedical informatics, healthcare
organization and molecular medicine. A specific focus for the AIME 2015
conference is on how Big Data challenges in biomedical domains could be
addressed using AI methods and approaches.
Contributions to theory and methods should present or analyse novel AI
theories or methodologies for solving problems in the biomedical field. It
is equally possible to develop new theories or methods, as well as to
extend existing ones. In both cases, the work should demonstrate its
utility for solving biomedical problems and highlight its contribution to
the underlying theoretical basis. In addition, assumptions and limitations
should be discussed, and novelty with respect to the state of the art.
Contributions addressing systems and applications should describe the
development, implementation or evaluation of innovative, AI-based tools and
systems in the biomedical application domain. These papers should both link
the work to underlying theory, and either analyse the potential benefits to
solve biomedical problems, or present empirical evidence of benefits in
clinical practice.
The scope of the conference includes the following areas:
· Big Data Analytics
· Clinical Decision Support Systems
· Machine Learning, Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining
· Biomedical Ontologies and Terminologies
· Bayesian Networks and Reasoning under Uncertainty
· Temporal and Spatial Representation and Reasoning
· Computerized Clinical Practice Guidelines and Protocols
· Healthcare Process and Workflow Management
· Biomedical Knowledge Acquisition and Knowledge Management
· AI methods in Telemedicine and eHealth
· Case-based Reasoning in Biomedicine
· Document Classification and Information Retrieval
· Biomedical Image and Signal Processing
· Visual Analytics in Biomedicine
· Natural Language Processing
· AI solutions for Ambient Assisted Living
*Paper Submission*
The conference features regular papers, in two categories:
1. Full research papers (up to 10 pages)
2. Short papers (up to 5 pages) describing either
a. a short research project
b. demonstration of implemented systems
c. late-breaking results (work-in-progress)
Papers should be formatted according to Springer's LNCS format (see
www.springeronline.com/lncs or www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html ) and
submitted through the EasyChair conference system. *Authors are asked to
submit an abstract first, and upload the full paper one week later. The
submission website will be open on October 1, 2014. *
All accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings which will be
published as part of Springer's *"Lecture Notes in AI"* series. In
addition, the authors of the best submissions will be invited to expand and
refine their papers for possible publication in the Artificial Intelligence
in Medicine journal (Elsevier).
*Mario Stefanelli and Marco Ramoni Best paper awards*
The best student paper will receive an award honoring Mario Stefanelli from
the University of Pavia and his accomplishments. Mario Stefanelli was one
of the founders of the AIME community, an inspiration to us all, and
actively helped in advancing young researchers in our field. Selection of
the best student paper will be performed by the Program Committee, and
based on the quality of both the paper and the oral presentation at the
conference.
The best paper in bioinformatics will receive an award honoring Marco Ramoni.
Marco Ramoni was an outstandingly respected faculty member at Harvard, USA,
and contributed to significant advances in the biomedical informatics
field. Selection of the best paper in bioinformatics will be performed by
the Program Committee, based on the quality of the paper.
*Submission of proposals for workshops and tutorials*
As in previous AIME conferences, proposals for the organization of
tutorials and satellite workshops are sought regarding any of the above
topic areas. Proposals for tutorials and workshops should be sent by email
to John H. Holmes ([email protected]).
*Important dates *
- Regular and Short Abstract Submission Deadline: January 26, 2015
- Regular and Short Paper Submission Deadline: February2, 2015
- Proposals for Tutorials: February 8, 2015
- Proposals for Workshops: February 9, 2015
