Workshop on Mining Medical Data

We invite the submission of papers related to mining medical data.  Participants in the KDD Cup 2008 may optionally submit papers to this workshop describing their entry. However, the workshop is broader in scope, and we also welcome other submissions related to the mining of medical data from structured sources such as structured databases and from unstructured data sources such as medical images, textual notes, etc. We particularly invite papers describing systems that are able to combine all available patient information whether from structured sources or from unstructured sources, to support medical decision making.

All submitted papers will be evaluated by the workshop program committee based on scientific merits and novelty as perceived by the committee. Accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings. Authors of the accepted papers are required to present their papers at the workshop. Depending on interest, a subset of the selected papers may also be published in a special issue of a journal later on. Important dates are listed below.

All submitted papers must be in PDF format, must be restricted to 4 pages, and must use the template found at http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates.
