Objectives

The 2nd International Symposium on Medical Data Analysis (ISMDA-2001) is the continuation of the first symposium, held in Frankfurt, Germany, on September, 2000.

It aims to integrate interdisciplinary research from scientific fields such as statistics, signal processing, biomedical informatics, data mining and biometrics for biomedical data analysis. It will provide an international forum for sharing and exchanging of original research results, ideas and practical development experiences in areas related to the analysis of biomedical data.

Proceedings of the conference are programmed to be published within a forthcoming issue of Springer Verlag's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series:  www.springer.de/comp/lncs/fcp2001.html
