The 1996 Symposium on Artificial Intelligence in Medicine:
Applications of Current Technologies

Call for Participation

Short Description

Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (AIM) researchers have developed several technologies over the course of the past three decades. Many of these technologies were considerably ahead of their time and were not successfully exploited. The electronic information delivery and additional automation that they required has only recently begun to be implemented on a large scale. In the perspective of these recent developments does the earlier AIM technology have greater relevance or utility? What further capabilites do current advances in AIM research provide? In addition to addressing these questions, participants in the symposium will also be asked to present state-of-the-art AIM systems and how they contribute to the various tasks of modern health care delivery including: practice guideline development and execution, quality assurance, knowledge-discovery, and automated control.

On-line clinical data sets are available to participants.

Submission Process

Potential participants are invited to submit abstracts no longer than 2 pages (< 1200 words) by October 31, 1995. The abstracts should outline methodology and emphasize how the methodology has been applied. The abstracts may be sent in ASCII or RTF formats to aim-96@medg.lcs.mit.edu. Authors of accepted abstracts will be asked to submit a working paper by January 19, 1996. They will also be asked to prepare either a poster or an oral presentation.

Submissions will ONLY be accepted in electronic format.
