Systems in Biomedicine (http://www.unicampus.it/KDDSB09/)

at IEEE CBMS 2009: 22th IEEE International Symposium on

COMPUTER-BASED MEDICAL SYSTEMS

August 3-4, 2009, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA

The vast amount of data generated by biomedical devices or

retrieved from archives motivates the development of tools that

are able to effectively and efficiently handle, analyse and

make use of this data.

On the one side, data mining has become a popular and effective way

of discovering new knowledge from large and complex data sets, and

particularly, medical data sets. Advances in data mining research and

technology have made it possible to solve many interesting problems in

medical diagnostics and healthcare.

On the other side, computer-based systems supporting the medical decisions

have attracted many research efforts. These systems can pursue different objectives,

such as pre-selecting the cases to be examined, serving as a second reader or

working as a tool for training and education of specialized medical personnel.

Currently, the development of versatile systems applicable to different working

scenarios is a major issue. Indeed, they call for careful design of data processing

methods as wells as the definition of decision rules. To the same extent, the

definition of performance evaluation criteria is mandatory to ensure that such

systems work safely and profitably.

This special track aims at bringing together researchers in the multi-disciplinary

area of knowledge discovery and computer-based decision systems in biomedicine,

and at providing a forum for the presentation and discussion of their research

activities. Engineers, scientists, psychologists, clinicians and computer and

cognitive scientists, as well as research project managers involved in such

biomedical projects are encouraged to submit papers to this special track.
