Call For Papers - CFP

provide a forum for identifying important contributions and opportunities for research on the application of CBR to the health sciences

promote the systematic study of how to apply CBR to the health sciences

showcase applications of CBR in the health sciences

Some of the technical issues addressed, and potential outcomes of the workshop, are to identify challenges specific to applying CBR to the health sciences, required methodological improvements to fit this context's needs, preferred types and domains of applications, and guidelines to better develop CBR systems in this arena. A special issue of Expert Systems with Applications is planned to feature the contributions of this workshop as well as other outstanding work in the field. We welcome all those interested in the problems and promise of CBR in the health sciences, whether or not they have participated in past workshops. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

Integration of CBR in health care environments

CBR in medical decision-support systems

CBR in medical imaging

CBR in enabling technologies for those with physical disabilities or chronic health problems

CBR and knowledge discovery in medicine and the health sciences

Cognitive approaches to applying CBR to medicine

Theoretical framework for CBR in medical reasoning

CBR in bioinformatics

CBR and evidence-based medicine

Paper presentations will be interspersed with discussions in which we characterize, categorize, and discuss the benefits of specific CBR applications in the health sciences. A wrap-up round table discussion will summarize the lessons learnt, issues identified, and future directions.
