[UAI] MEDGEC @ GECCO 2005 **** PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO 27th MARCH 2005 *****

Dear Colleague,

MedGEC, 25 or 26 June 2005, Washington, D.C. USA 

I am pleased to invite you to submit a paper to MedGEC 2005, the GECCO
Workshop on Medical Applications of Genetic and Evolutional Computation.

Full details can be found at the MedGEC Web site: http://www.elec.york.ac.uk/intsys/events/MedGEC2005/home.htm

MedGEC is the GECCO Workshop on the application of genetic and evolutionary 
computation (GEC) to problems in medicine and healthcare. 

Subjects will include (but are not limited to) applications of GEC to: 

Medical imaging 
Medical signal processing 
Clinical diagnosis and therapy 
Data mining medical data and records 
Clinical expert systems 
Modelling and simulation of medical processes 

A dedicated workshop at GECCO provides a much needed focus for medical related
applications of EC, not only providing a clear definition of the state of the
art, but also support to practitioners for whom GEC might not be their main
area of expertise or experience. 

The Workshop has two main aims: 

(i) to provide delegates with examples of the current state of the art 
of applications of GEC to medicine. 

(ii) to provide a forum in which researchers can discuss and exchange 
ideas, support and advise each other in theory and practice. 

GECCO is widely regarded to be the most authoritative conference in 
GEC and, as such, offers the ideal venue for this important and 
growing community. 

Important dates:
Paper submission deadline: now 27 March, 2005
Notification of acceptance: 8 April, 2005
Camera-ready copy deadline: 22 April, 2005
Workshop: 25-26 June, 2005
