Call For Papers - CFP

expertise to a forthcoming book entitled Biological Data Mining and

its Applications in Healthcare. The book is scheduled to be published

by World Scientific (http://www.worldscientific.com/).

The objective of this book is to disseminate influential research

results and best practices of data mining approaches to cross-

disciplinary researchers and practitioners from both the data mining

disciplines and the life sciences domains. Each chapter of this book

will start with a section to introduce a specific class of data mining

techniques, written in a tutorial style so that even non-computational

readers such as biologists and healthcare researchers can appreciate

them. This is then followed by a detailed case study on how to use the

data mining technique in a real-world biological or clinical

application.

If you wish, you may also propose to write on a different topic that

you think is relevant to the book (a list of possible topics of

interest is listed at http://www1.i2r.a-star.edu.sg/~xlli/BioDM_Book.html

for your consideration). Should you accept this invitation, we would

like to kindly ask that, on or before April 6, 2012, you submit via e-

mail a chapter proposal for review.

An approximate schedule of the book is as follows:

April 6, 2012: Due date for submitting a 2-5 page manuscript proposal

(clearly explaining the mission and concerns of the proposed chapter).

April 20, 2012: Notification of proposal acceptance.

Aug 10, 2012: Due date for submitting full chapters.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to
