Steven Salzberg, Ph.D.
Professor, Departments of Medicine, Biostatistics, and Computer Science
Director, Center for Computational Biology
Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine



This symposium will be held in conjunction with the annual ACM Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology and Biomedical Informatics (ACM BCB), which is the main flagship conference of the ACM SIGBio (ACM Special Interest Group on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology and Biomedical Informatics). The goal of this symposium is to bring together bring computational scientists together with researchers and professionals to discuss the problems in healthcare, public health, and everyday wellness. The symposium highlights the most novel technical contributions in computing oriented toward health informatics and the related social and ethical implications.
Specific topics of interest cover various facets of health informatics research, including but not limited to the following:
• Information technologies for clinical and healthcare delivery and management
• Health data acquisition, management, and visualization
• Healthcare knowledge management and decision support
• Healthcare modeling and simulation
• Data analytics, data mining, and machine learning
• Health information systems
• Healthcare communication networks and environments
• Interactions with health information technologies
• System software design and implementation
• Multi-modal data integration with an emphasis on supporting real-time analytics
• Methodological innovation focused on the generation of information and knowledge
• Data science and visualization with applications in the health and life sciences
• Natural language processing, text mining including data from Electronic Health Record
• Instrumentation of enterprise systems to create a "Learning Healthcare System
      
Submitted manuscripts should not exceed 10 pages in ACM template on 8.5 x 11 inch paper (see ACM templates). All the manuscripts should be submitted at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acmbcbhis2013. All accepted papers of registered authors will be included in the proceedings published by ACM digital libraries. The authors of selected papers will be invited to adapt their papers for being published in a special issue of a journal (to be determined).
