International Workshop: Database
Technology for Life Sciences and
Medicine, DBLM 2012
In conjunction with 23rd DEXA
Conference, September, 3-7 2012, Vienna,
Austria
Call for Papers
Life sciences and medicine are very data
intensive disciplines. Modern
technologies such as micro-arrays,
high-throughput mass-spectrometry,
high-resolution imaging, and huge
literature databases provide new
challenges for scientists and medical
practitioners. There has never been more
potentially available information to
study biological systems like cells,
organs, or patients. However, it is a
non-trivial task to transform the vast
amount of biomedical data into useful
information supporting scientific
progress and/or patient management.
Major challenges for research in the
database community include but are not
limited to:
Data quality, selection and integration,
Database-supported process management in
healthcare,
Electronic patient record,
Design of information systems and data
warehouses for biological and medical
applications,
Mining biological and medical data:
clustering, classification, rule-mining,
Integrative mining of heterogeneous data
types,
Integration of data mining primitives
into biological and medical databases,
Databases and data mining for systems
biology and personalized medicine,
Biological and medical image processing
and -retrieval,
Privacy in data management and data mining.
