The 18th IEEE Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems

Trinity College Dublin,  June 23-24 2005

SPECIAL TRACK

 

Intelligent Data Analysis of Electrocardiogram Data 

 

CALL FOR PAPERS

The role of computational analysis of the Electrocardiogram (ECG) to support clinical evaluation has been a prolific area of research for nearly 50 years. Techniques of a Statistical and Rule based nature have provided successful results in terms of the diagnostic outcome, however, advances in the field of Intelligent Data Analysis applied to ECG diagnosis have gained recent interest and success.

 

It is the aim of this Special Track to investigate the recent success of Intelligent Data Analysis in this field in comparison to established computational approaches. Papers are invited (but not limited) to the following key themes:

-Classification of the ECG through Intelligent Data Analysis

-Pre-processing of the ECG using intelligent data analysis

-Advances of intelligent data analysis in Body Surface Potential Mapping

-Combination of multiple classifiers to support ECG diagnosis

-Real life systems incorporating Intelligent Data Analysis of ECGs

 

 

IMPORTANT DATES

February 7, 2005   Submission of 6 page, maximum paper 

March 1, 2005      Notification of acceptance

March 24, 2005    Final camera-ready paper (6 pages, maximum) due

March 24, 2005     Pre-registration deadline

You must pre-register to have your paper published in the proceedings.

If you only plan to attend and are not submitting a paper, pre-registration is still strongly encouraged. This conference is space-limited, and registration may not be available on-site.

 

SUBMISSION PROCEDURES FOR PAPER

 

No hardcopy submissions are being accepted. Electronic submissions of original technical research papers will only be accepted in PDF format. File size is limited to 2 MB. Use a maximum of six A4 pages, including figures and references. Include one cover sheet, stating the paper title, authors, technical area(s) covered in the article, corresponding author's information (telephone, fax, mailing address, e-mail address), and your preference for oral or poster presentation. Author names should appear only on the cover sheet, not on the summary. Submit your manuscript no later than January 26, 2005. Authors will be notified of acceptance by March 1, 2005 after a review process by three independent experts.  Each accepted paper will be published in the conference proceedings by IEEE CS Press, conditional upon the author's advance registration.

 

Submission in the IEEE Computer Science Press 6x9-inch format is encouraged.

 

Formatting instructions, LaTeX macros and MSWord templates are available at ftp://pubftp.computer.org/press/outgoing/proceedings/.
 

Authors should indicate the special track title (on the cover sheet). All submissions should be performed electronically via the CBMS web submission system:  http://www.cs.tcd.ie/research_groups/mlg/CBMS2005/openconf/openconf.php
