Computational Intelligence Journal
Special Issue on
CBR in the Health Sciences
Call for Papers
There has been an explosion of interest in health sciences applications of CBR, not only in the traditional CBR in Medicine domain, but also in bioinformatics, enabling home health care technologies, CBR integration, and synergies between CBR and knowledge discovery.
The goals of this special issue of Computational Intelligence are to
*identify 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
*present applications of CBR in the health sciences.
Some of the technical issues addressed are to identify challenges specific to
applying CBR to the health sciences, required methodological improvements to fit
this context needs, preferred types and domains of applications, and guidelines
to better develop CBR systems in this domain.
We welcome all those interested in the problems and promise of CBR in the health
sciences, whether or not they have participated in the specialized workshops
on CBR in the health sciences.
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 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.
