--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** BAYESIAN MODELS IN MEDICINE ** ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Workshop during the European Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (AIME'01), Cascais, Portugal, 1 July 2001
For details, see http://www.csd.abdn.ac.uk/~plucas/aime01-ws.html
o Submission of papers: 1 May, 2001 o Conference: 1-4 July, 2001 o Workshop: Sunday, 1 July, 2001 o Special issue: second half of 2002 (planned)
Bayesian networks (also known as causal probabilistic networks) with their associated methods have now been around in biomedicine for more than a decade. They have become increasingly popular for representing and handling uncertain knowledge in medicine. Almost simultaneously, the use of Bayesian statistics has increased in popularity in medicine. Currently, interest is emerging within bioinformatics to use Bayesian methods for building models of various kind. This workshop aims to bring together researchers in these fields in order to assess the current state of the art, to identify obstacles for progress and to determine future research directions. The workshop's aim is also to promote research collaboration among different groups in these fields.
Extended versions of the best papers of the workshop will be published in a special issue of the journal Artificial Intelligence in Medicine. PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU INTEND TO SUBMIT A PAPER.
