Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1999 21:16:47 -0500 From: Prof. Krzysztof Cios kcios@eng.utoledo.edu Subject: Medical Data Mining: Call for Chapters Web: http://isl1.ni.utoledo.edu/cios Chapter contributions are requested for a book on MEDICAL DATA MINING AND KNOWLEDGE DISCOVERY to be published by Springer in early 2000. Chapters describing novel approaches and applications of data mining (DM) methods for knowledge discovery (KD) in medicine are sought. They must be written very clearly to appeal to a diverse audience of medical doctors, computer scientists, and engineers. The first part of the book will contain application chapters written in a tutorial style. The chapters can describe in greater detail DM methods when used on real medical data. For instance, a chapter may describe several (but only those applicable to the database of images used) image preprocessing, feature extraction/selection, and machine learning algorithms, before actually using only a few of them. The second part of the book will consist of purely application chapters. The emphasis in part two will be on a KD process. Thus, authors may be asked to shorten description of their DM methods, if already covered in part one. Three hard copies of the chapters should be submitted to the editor by May 31, 1999 -- contact kcios@eng.utoledo.edu for details.
