Call for Papers and Participation
Special Session on Intelligent Systems for Medical Decisions Support
([1]ISMDS08), at the
FIFTH INTERNATIONAL MEETING ON COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE METHODS FOR
BIOINFORMATICS AND BIOSTATISTICS, CIBB 2008,
[2]http://cibb08.disi.unige.it/, 3-4 October, 2008, Vietri sul Mare,
Salerno, Italy.
Description and Scope
Medicine and its scientific and technological background are rapidly
and profoundly changing in the Information Age. The impact on the
biomedical equipment used to produce and collect laboratory data,
signals and images is impressive. New high throughput technologies
have appeared and existing technologies have been radically
transformed. For example, techniques like electroencephalography or
radiography, which two decades ago seemed to reach a bottleneck, came
to a new life and their importance as diagnostic tools is continuously
increasing. As a result, our capacity to produce and record huge
amount of complex biomedical data - patient conditions, diagnostic
tests, treatments, outcomes, different kind of "omics" data
(genomics/proteomics, etc), biosignals and images have dramatically
increased. This data provides an unprecedented source of information
that can lead to potential improvements in medical diagnostic,
prognostic, and individualized, optimized treatment strategy.
However, much more work is required. Although technology has brought
about tremendous new sources of important biomedical data, we have not
moved very far with regard to extracting the knowledge that lies
latent in this data. In recent years, modern computer science has
brought forth tremendous new tools such as artificial neural networks,
fuzzy logic, evolutionary computing, support vector machines, and the
like. Yet the professional, political and social issues that separate
the medical community and the intelligent computing community have
delayed the serious application of these tools to accelerate progress
in translational medicine; genome to phenome, bench to bedside and
clinical trials to public health.
Topics
We encourage papers describing new or applying existing intelligent
computing methods to real and practical medical and health-care
problems in which the biomedical problems are central. The topics of
interest include, but are not limited to:
· disease modeling, diagnosis and prevention
· prognostic and treatment outcome predictions
· patient monitoring and alarm systems
· optimization of patient-management workflows
· biomedical data\text\web mining and data
visualization
· integration of biomedical data sources and
domain knowledge
· translational bioinformatics (genomics,
proteomics, etc.)
· biomedical signals and images processing
· design of clinical trials
Submissions addressing theoretical problems should clearly outline the
expected impact of the proposed solution to the medical field.
Audience

Submissions
Authors are requested to abide by the following instructions in
preparing their manuscripts:
Prepare your paper in LATEX following the guidelines downloadable at
[3]http://cibb08.disi.unige.it/cibb.tgz. The size of the paper should
not exceed 10 pages in this format.
· When your paper is ready, submit it in PDF
format by uploading to this [4]link. The deadline for up-loading
the manuscript is June 15th, 2008. Please compile carefully the
electronic form stating

and contact details including telephone/fax numbers and e-mail
address, and
5. Abstract (200 words).
The papers will be peer-reviewed and the authors will be notified via
email of the results of the review by June 30th, 2008. Submission
implies the willingness of at least one author per paper to register
and present the paper at the conference.
Accepted papers will be published in the compact disk of conference
proceedings. A selection of papers presented at CIBB 2008 will be
published as a post conference volume of Lecture Notes in
Bioinformatics LNBI/LNCS series of Springer Verlag
