CALL for PAPERS and POSTERS

International Conference on

Information Technology in Bio- and Medical Informatics

ITBAM´10

(Conference, Workshops, Poster Sessions)


in conjunction with the

21^st DEXA - DEXA'10


August 30 - September 3, 2010

Bilbao, Spain

Scope of ITBAM Conference

The area of Information Technology is very important for Bio- as well
as Medical Informatics.

The DEXA conference is dedicated to providing an international forum
for presenting applications in the area of database and expert
systems, enabling the exchange of ideas and experiences defining
requirements for future systems.

Referring to current applications, Bio- and Medical Information
Technology are areas confronting us with new challenges.

Both areas are characterized by producing mass data and by using
federated databases transparently integrating multiple autonomous
database systems into a single federated database

Further both areas are characterized by using different techniques
common in the area of information systems.

Generally speaking, for storing, manipulating and locating information
for particular questions within Bio- and Medical Informatics research
and application, many well known tools, methods and algorithms have to
be adopted or totally re-organized (in the sense of a new development)
for these very important scientific disciplines. All those modern
technologies like micro-arrays, high throughput mass-spectrometry,
high-resolution imaging, huge literature databases, complexity of
biological and medical databases (e.g. the human genome project
provide the sequence of the 3 billion DNA bases that constitute the
human genome), a huge amount of information to study biological
systems like cells, organs, or patients and many things more, are non
trivial tasks representing new challenges to transform the vast amount
of biomedical data into information supporting scientific progress
and/or patient management.

Scientists working in this area originate from different departments
and disciplines (informatics, mathematics, bioinformatics. biology,
medicine, etc.). Therefore the area of Information Technology of Bio-
and Medical Informatics is very heterogeneous. ITBAM should provide an
opportunity for fruitful discussion between researchers and
practitioners of different scientific disciplines for developing a
common language for solving problems within information technology
concerning bio and medical informatics together


Scope of ITBAM Poster Session

ITBAM poster sessions should show first ideas of non ready
publications and projects in progress within the area of information
technology in bio- and medical-informatics. Poster sessions are mainly
addressed to young researches like PhD students. All accepted posters
will be shown during the whole DEXA / ITBAM event.


ITBAM invites researchers from universities and labs of companies to
submit papers for the ITBAM conference, proposals for workshops and
proposals for poster sessions on all topics related to information
technology in Bio- and Medical Informatics including, but not limited
to those listed below:


Topics:
* Administration of vast biological- and medical data
* Applications of Database-, Information-, Expert- and
Decision-support systems
* Biological and medical image processing and -retrieval
* Biological and medical signal processing and interpretation
* Data and information modeling, integration, networks, privacy and
security, quality, semantics and streams
* Data structure and data management
* Data and information systems architecture and performance
* Data mining, data warehousing
* Digital Libraries
* Distributed, parallel,P2P, and grid-based databases
* Electronic patient record
* Expert- and decision- support systems
* Information retrieval
* Internet computing and web applications
* Knowledge modeling and processing
* Knowledge and acquisition and management
* Metadata Management
* Mobile Data and information
* Multimedia databases
* Multi-databases and Database federation
* Query processing and optimisation
* Statistical and scientific databases
* User interfaces
* Workflow management and database

Important Dates:


ITBAM conference papers:


* Submission of full papers: March 7, 2010 --> extended to
March 14, 2010
* Notification of acceptance: May 12, 2010
* Camera-ready copies due: June 10, 2010


ITBAM poster session:


* Poster submission deadline: May 31, 2010
* Notification of acceptance: June 30, 2010

PAPER SUBMISSION DETAILS:


Authors are invited to submit electronically original contributions or
experience reports in English.
* The submitted manuscript should closely reflect the final paper as
it will appear in the proceedings.
* Papers should not exceed 15 pages in LNCS format
([1]http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).
* Any submission that exceeds length limits or deviates from
formatting requirements may be rejected without review.

For paper registration and electronic submission see
[2]http://confdriver.ifs.tuwien.ac.at/ starting January 2010.

Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality,
significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition.

Duplicate submissions are not allowed. Authors are expected to agree
to the following terms: "I understand that the paper being submitted
must not overlap substantially with any other paper that I am a
co-author of and that is currently submitted elsewhere. Furthermore,
previously published papers with any overlap are cited prominently in
this submission."

Duplicate submissions will be rejected. Questions about this policy or
how it applies to your work should be directed to the PC-chairs.

ACCEPTED PAPERS:

All accepted conference papers will be published in "Lecture Notes in
Computer Science" (LNCS) by Springer Verlag. Accepted papers will be
of two sizes: regular (15-page papers) and short (up to 8 pages). The
former will tend to be descriptions of complete technical work, while
the latter will tend to be descriptions of interesting, innovative
ideas, which nevertheless require more work to mature. Authors of
accepted papers must sign a Springer copyright release form.
