The Workshop on Case-based Reasoning in Health Sciences
will be held at the
International Conference on Case-Based Reasoning (ICCBR-15)
in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, on September 28, 2015
Call for Papers
Health science domains have provided fertile ground for CBR research and development since the earliest days of case-based reasoning. New advances into health science frontiers ensure that CBR will continue to play a vital role well into the future. This tenth Workshop on CBR in the Health Sciences aims to:
- provide a forum for identifying important contributions and opportunities for research on the application of CBR to the health sciences,
- promote the systematic study of how to apply CBR to the health sciences, and
- showcase applications of CBR in the health sciences.
Some of the technical issues addressed, and potential outcomes of the workshop, are to identify challenges specific to applying CBR to the health sciences, required methodological improvements to fit this context's needs, preferred types and domains of applications, and guidelines to better develop CBR systems in this arena.
We welcome all those interested in the problems and promise of CBR in the health sciences, whether or not they have participated in past workshops.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Integration of CBR in health care environments
- CBR in medical decision-support systems
- CBR in medical imaging
- CBR and bio signals
- CBR in enabling technologies for those with physical disabilities or chronic health problems
- CBR and knowledge discovery in medicine and the health sciences
- Cognitive approaches to applying CBR to medicine
- Theoretical framework for CBR in medical reasoning
- CBR in bioinformatics
- CBR and evidence-based medicine
- CBR in health social networks
- CBR in mHealth, eHealth, and wearable health
- CBR and personalized medicine
- CBR for health and wellness.
Paper presentations will be interspersed with discussions in which we characterize, categorize, and discuss the benefits of specific CBR applications in the health sciences. A wrap-up round table discussion will summarize the lessons learnt, issues identified, and future directions.
Submission Requirements
Submitted papers are limited to 10 pages in length. All papers are to be submitted via the ICCBR HS 2015 EasyChair system. Papers should be in Springer LNCS format. Author's instructions, along with LaTeX and Word macro files, are available at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.
Submissions should be original papers that have not already been published elsewhere. However, papers may include previously published results that support a new theme, as long as all past publications are fully referenced.
