This is the fifth workshop on Intelligent Data Analysis in Medicine
and Pharmacology (IDAMAP). The former IDAMAP Workshops were held
in Budapest
in 1996, in Nagoya
in 1997, in Brighton in
1998, and in Washington
in 1999.
General information
IDAMAP-2000 is an one day ECAI-2000
workshop, will be held in Berlin, Germany, on Tuesday, August 22, 2000
prior to the start of the main ECAI conference.
Gathering in an informal setting, workshop participants will have the
opportunity to meet and discuss selected technical topics in an atmosphere
which fosters
the active exchange of ideas among researchers and practitioners. To
encourage interaction and a broad exchange of ideas, the workshop will
be kept small,
preferably under 30 participants and certainly under 40. Attendance
will be limited to active participants only. The workshop is intended to
be a genuinely
interactive event and not a mini-conference, thus ample time will be
allotted for general discussion. The workshop will last one full day. Attendees
at the
workshop will have to register
for the main ECAI conference.
Topics
In all human activities, automatic data collection pushes towards the development
of tools able to handle and analyze data in a computer-supported fashion.
In the majority of the application areas, this task cannot be accomplished
without using the available knowledge on the domain or on the data analysis
process. This need becomes essential in biomedical applications, since
medical decision-making needs to be supported by arguments based on basic
medical and pharmacological knowledge.
The topics of the workshop are computational methods for data analysis
able to exploit the available knowledge to narrow the gap between data
gathering and data comprehension, as well as their applications in medicine
and pharmacology. Expert physicians should be included in the preparation
of data for IDA process (e.g., data representation, modeling, cleaning,
selection, and transformation), as well as in the interpretation and exploitation
of results and their (potential) impact on medical practice.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
-
effective data mining techniques: machine learning tools,
clustering, etc.
-
temporal reasoning:
-
applications of IDA in patient monitoring or bio-signal processing,
-
interpretation of time-ordered data (derivation and revision of temporal
trends and other forms of temporal data abstraction),
-
information visualization: visualization of medical data and visualization
of IDA's results,
-
case-based reasoning,
-
construction of decision models to support medical decision
making,
-
discovery of new diseases and new drug compounds,
-
pharmacodynamical modeling,
-
predicting drug activity, etc.
Emphasis will also be given to solving of problems, which result from automated
data collection in modern hospitals, such as analysis of computer-based
patient records (CPR), data warehousing tools, intelligent alarming, effective
and efficient monitoring, etc.
In particular, we will ask the participants to address the following
points:
- what kind of knowledge
they have used and/or extracted;
- why they need to exploit
the available prior knowledge in their problem;
- how they have represented
the available knowledge;
- how they plan to use
/ have used the derived knowledge.
Submission of Papers
The workshop invites submission of long and short papers written in English
to the workshop chair, Nada Lavrac (email: Nada.Lavrac@ijs.si, cc: silvia@ifs.tuwien.ac.at,
cc: Branko.Kavsek@ijs.si), preferably in electronic format (pdf or postscript)
no later than April 20, 2000. The length of long papers is of about
5000 words (10 pages) and length of short papers is about 1500 words (3
pages).
Authors will be notified of acceptance by May 18, 2000.
Papers will appear as separate workshop notes.

Scientific Program
The scientific program of the workshop will consist of presentations of accepted
papers and panel discussions. Papers are invited both on
methodological issues of intelligent data analysis as well as on specific
applications in medicine and pharmacology. Presentations of scientific papers
will be followed by the general discussion on two issues: what has been
achieved so far, and where should we head.
