Call for Papers

Soft computing have been gaining momentum in various areas of biomedicine. For example, W3C has established a new interest group for semantic web health care and life sciences. Hence, there is an urgent need for methodologies, tools, and middleware to facilitate scientific knowledge modeling, logical-based hypothesis checking, semantic data integration and application composition, integrated knowledge discovery and data analysing for different biomedical applications.

Partially influenced by the Artificial Intelligence community, the Soft Computing researchers have largely focused on formal aspects of semantic representation languages or general-purpose semantic application development, with inadequate consideration of requirements from specific science areas. On the other hand, general science researchers are growing ever more dependent on computing, but they have no coherent agenda for exploring the emerging trends in soft computing. Advances in biomedical infrastructure and biomedical applications based on the soft computing and related knowledge-based approaches calls for increased interaction among these disparate communities.

This workshop aims to provide an inter-disciplinary forum for researchers from both the Soft Computing community, and the life science community. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Fundamentals of Soft Computing in Biomedicine

  • Natural Language Understanding and Processing
  • Understanding and Processing of Texts and Multimedia Contents
  • Integration of Semantic Systems
  • Conceptual Graphs
  • Semantic Web Services
  • Semantic Grid Middleware
  • Semantic Web Search
  • Knowledge Representation
  • Ontology Engineering
  • Knowledge Management for Biomedicine
  • Semantic Infrastructure and Architecture for Biomedicine
  • Multi-Agent Systems
  • Biomedical Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery
  • Data, Knowledge and Software Engineering Issues
  • Content-Based Security
  • Semantic Computing in the areas of Identity and Privacy Management
  • Social Intelligence and Semantic Social Networks
  • Ubiquitous and Trustworthy Computing

Applications of Soft Computing in Biomedicine in:

  • Health Care and Life Sciences
  • Biomedical Informatics
