[Open-bio-announce] CFP: 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Data Mining in Bioinformatics (DMB 2007)

[Amandeep S. Sidhu]

2nd International Workshop on Data Mining in Bioinformatics (DMB 2007) 
With IEEE/WIC/ACM WI-IAT-BIBM 2007 & IEEE GrC 2007

http://dmb07.swbio.org/

MOTIVATION
Data Mining deals with the use of data analysis techniques and methodologies in
the design, development and assessment of data and information systems for
biomedical computing. The goal of this workshop is to share research solutions
using data mining approaches to problems of today's biomedical systems and to
identify new issues and directions for future research in biomedical data mining. 
 
Techniques and Methodologies proposed in this workshop will help addressing two
major challenges to incorporate this vast biological knowledge into the data
mining cycle: (i) designing efficient the data mining frameworks; and (ii)
adapting existing data mining algorithms to understand constantly varying and
changing biomedical data. In this workshop we hope to present to the audience,
the state-of-the-art frameworks for bringing the background biomedical knowledge
into the pattern recognition task for biomedical data.

THEMES
In DMB 2007, complementary to main themes of IEEE BIBM 2007, special focus is
aimed at looking on the evolving areas of interest for Application of Data
Mining in Bioinformatics, namely Semantic Biomedicine, Biomedical Privacy and
Security, Biometrics and Health Informatics. Thus as part of DMB 2007, there are
four special tracks on:

1. Biomedical Data Mining: Theory and Applications
2. Semantics in Biomedicine
3. Biomedical Privacy, Security and Biometric Authentication
4. Health Informatics
