Description |
|
| The First IEEE International Conference on Healthcare Informatics, Imaging and Systems Biology (HISB) July 27-29, 2011, San Jose, CA http://www.ieee-hisb.org The field of healthcare is undergoing a revolution with scientific and engineering advancements seen simultaneously at all informatics levels. Healthcare IT researchers are mining information from electronic patient records and clinical guidelines to better understand the relationship between symptoms/conditions, diseases, medications/treatments and outcome. Improved diagnosis of diseases and conditions is being addressed by diagnostic imaging researchers through novel techniques for imaging and analysis. Finally, advances in systems biology research is enabling personalized medicine diagnostics and therapeutics helping revolutionize treatment for major indications like cancer and heart disease. The first HISB conference is being proposed to foster an integrative approach to healthcare by the cross-fertilization of ideas among researchers in the respective areas of healthcare informatics, imaging and systems biology. The confluence of these fields is expected to not only advance the state of understanding of diseases and outcomes but also explore their relationships on a personalized biological basis. The goal of this conference is to bring together researchers in healthcare informatics, medical imaging, and systems biology to present the state-of-the-art research in their fields and to create synergies among the community to close the loop in the biological causal analysis of diseases, their detection through advanced imaging and the analysis of their relationships with treatments and outcomes. We are soliciting original, high-quality submissions that address innovative research and development along the three tracks of healthcare informatics, systems biology and diagnostic imaging with but not limited to the following topics for submission: Track 1: Healthcare Informatics: · Medical knowledge representation & reasoning · Relating diseases to treatment and outcomes · Clinical decision support · Clinical data integration · Public health informatics and bio-surveillance · Clinical Data mining and informatics · Consumer-oriented health informatics tools and applications · Tele-health · Text analytics · Medical knowledge extraction from EMR · Measuring/improving outcomes in patients Track 2: Imaging & Analysis: · Novel diagnostic imaging techniques · Mining of multimodal medical data (X-ray, MRI, CT, echo videos, time series data) · Algorithms for indexing and retrieval of data from multimodal medical databases · Machine learning of disease correlations from mining multimodal data · Disease model-building and clinical decision support systems based on multimodal analysis · Image/curve/surface/volume registration · Biomedical image motion analysis · Multidimensional data visualization · Molecular and cellular image analysis · Biomedical image databases / Biomedical image retrieval · Diffusion tensor image analysis · Enabling healthcare informatics through imaging · Combining diagnostic imaging with systems biology Track 3: Systems Biology: · Linking the genotype to phenotype · Translational bioinformatics · Functional genomics · Gene regulatory networks · Protein networks and pathway analysis · Computational approaches to pharmacogenomics. · Visualization of biological networks · Regulatory genome architecture and non-coding mutations in human diseases · High throughput imaging (e.g. RNAi)-derived data analysis · Realizing personalized medicine · Tools for systems biology research Location: The first symposium will be held at the premier research labs of IBM in Almaden California located in the resort-like hills of Santa Teresa Wild-life Sanctuary in San Jose, California. Conference Format: The conference will follow a three-day symposium format and consist of invited talks, refereed paper presentations and posters along various tracks, tutorials and a suggested panel. The invited talks will be from established researchers in the field including potential speakers of Nobel Laureates standing. The reviews of the papers will be organized along the three main research tracks of healthcare informatics, imaging and systems biology and will be led by track chairs that are well-known and established members of the research community. Special sessions will be organized to reflect the work that spans multiple topics of research. By leading several of these sessions with invited speaker experts, we expect to shape the discussions and audience interest. Submissions: Please submit a full-length paper (8 page IEEE 2-column format) thorough the online submission system (you can download the format instruction from the conference website) listed on our website (http://www.ieee-hisb.org). Electronic submissions (in PDF or Postscript format) are required. Each submission will be reviewed by at least 3 reviewers selected from a large multi-disciplinary program committee comprised of strong researchers in the respective areas. Selected participants will be asked to submit their revised papers in a camera-ready format to be specified at the time of acceptance. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society Press. In addition, a selected number of accepted papers will be invited for possible inclusion (with significant expansion and revision) as journal special issues. Key Dates: Abstract submission deadline: February 11, 2011 Paper submission deadline: February 18, 2011 Notification of acceptance: May 16, 2011 Camera-ready papers due: June 20, 2011 Conference dates: July 27-29, 2011 Organizing Committee: The PC consists of researchers from healthcare informatics, medical imaging, and systems biology as well as practicing physicians. The evolving PC list can be found on the conference website.
