Dear all,
Please find attached the Call For Papers for:
22nd IEEE Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems (CBMS) - Track
on Healthgrid Computing - Applications to Biomedical Research and
Healthcare.
August 3-4 2009, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA
http://sara.unisalento.it/cbms2009/cfp.htm
http://cvial.ee.ttu.edu/cbms2009/
sponsored by IEEE Computer Society
NEW ----> I'd like also to inform you that the PC is arranging for
a special issue in the Journal of Future Generation Computer Systems.
The main goal of the track is to discuss well-known and emerging bio
data-intensive systems in the context of Grids and to analyse
technologies and methodologies useful to develop such systems in these
environments.
In particular, this Conference Track aims at offering a forum of
discussion where young researchers and PhD students could present
their research activities, either at an early or mature phase.
IMPORTANT DATES
April 1, 2009 Submission of (6-page, maximum) paper
May 25, 2009 Notification of acceptance
June 21, 2009 Final camera-ready paper due
June 21, 2009 Pre-registration deadline
Best regards,
Maria Mirto

*****************
Bioinformatics, genomics, proteomics and medical image analysis are
emerging methods in health care. Navigating between phenotype and
genotype means that clinical data and genetic assessment need to be
integrated in patient investigations. What is missing today is:
· full integration of methods and technologies that enhance
all phases of health care, including diagnosis, prognosis, etc.;
· dissemination of such methods in clinical practice, whenever
they are developed, deployed and maintained in order to positively
impact patient outcomes.
Such a vision requires the design and implementation of computer
tools, methods and platforms for seamless biomedical data and
bioinformatics tools integration.
Main issues to realize such a vision are:
· Integration of multiple laboratories collecting genomics and
post-genomics data, so that biology or bioinformatics research
laboratories:
* can continue to maintain their own biological, biomedical
and computing resources autonomously;
* can face effectively the growth of data they need to
manage and process exploiting recent algorithms such as data mining
taking into account that biomedical data are produced and stored
continuously.
· Provision of large computing power:
* the medical image processing community that is facing a
growing need to analyse 2D, 3D, and 4D images in order to
realistically simulate medical treatment or surgery (radiotherapy,
plastic surgery, etc.), and to develop computer aided surgery;
* integration of results and easy access by physicians to
patients’ medical data anytime, anywhere.
The Grid paradigm offers CPU and data handling capabilities, and
allows users and laboratories to share their facilities (computing and
data storage resources, instruments, software, knowledge, etc.)
through high bandwidth networks between dynamically formed Virtual
Organizations.
Healthgrid computing can be a solution for the deployment of Grids in
medical research centres, taking into account that it has been very
limited, until now, for a number of reasons. Cost, both in terms of
infrastructure and manpower, is a significant barrier.
To face the complexity of novel, cooperative, distributed Health and
Bioinformatics applications, new specialized Grid services have to be
developed. Such services, integrated in a framework called Problem
Solving Environment, allow deploying applications in a distributed way
and carrying out complex “in silico” simulations by composing single
bio-applications into manageable workflows. In such a way Grids can be
deployed to address the needs of the biomedical community.
The main goal of the Conference Track is to discuss well-known and
emerging bio data-intensive systems in the context of Grids, and to
analyse technologies and methodologies useful to develop such systems
in these environments. In particular, this Conference Track aims at
offering a forum of discussion where young researchers and PhD
students could present their research activities, either at an early
or mature phase.
