In cooperation with 
ESCTAIC,
European Society for Computing and
Technology in Anaesthesia and Intensive
Care
This is the second workshop on Computers in Anaesthesia and Intensive
Care: Knoweldge-Based Information Management. Details of the first workshop
may be found at AIMDM'99.
General information
The workshop on "Computers in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care: Knoweldge-Based
Information Management", is a one day workshop held as part of AIME'01.
The workshop will be held in the premises of the 'Cultural Centre of Cascais',
Cascais, Portugal, on Sunday, July 01, 2001 prior to the start of the main
AIME'01 conference.
Gathering in an informal setting, workshop participants will have the
opportunity to meet and discuss selected technical topics in an atmosphere
which fosters the active exchange of ideas among researchers and practitioners.
The workshop is intended to be a genuinely interactive event and not a
mini conference, and will therefore include presentation of short papers
(2-5 pages) and ample time will for general discussion. The workshop will
last one full day. Attendees at the workshop have to
register.
Topic
The care of critically ill patients in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) and
during Anaesthesia is becoming increasingly complex. Clinicians are required
to rapidly interpret and respond to a large number of clinical parameters,
selecting appropriate treatment for the patient among many different options.
New measurement technology has increased the demand for improved information
management, as has the need to monitor and assess the quality of care provided.
This workshop presents "State of the art" applications of information technology
for clinicians, researchers and industry working in Anaesthesia and Intensive
Care.
Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:
-
computational methods for intelligent data analysis (e.g., interpretation
of time-ordered data)
-
quality control and assessment
-
clinical guidelines and protocols
-
effective and efficient monitoring (including intelligent alarming)
-
decision support
-
physiological modeling
-
planning and scheduling
-
uncertain and temporal reasoning
-
information visualization
In particular, we will ask the participants to address the following points:
-
what kind of support are the clinicians really expecting and asking for
in ICUs and Anaesthesia
-
what are the people working in industry able to provide
-
what can the research community contribute to improve information management
-
how can the different approaches and perspectives be combined
-
what are the (research) directions for the near future
Instructions for authors
Authors are requested to submit short papers (2-5 pages, postscript or
word file) by email, on or before April 23rd 2001, to the workshop chair
Stephen
Rees. Authors will be notified of acceptance by May 15th 2001. Accepted
papers will be published in working notes. Papers should be written in
English with a brief abstract. Formatting instructions are as follows:
the paper should be formatted in two-column format, with Times Roman type
face, pointsize 10, with title and
names of the authors in bold font. Left and right margins should be
2 cm, text height 23 cm, and text width 16.9 cm; the two columns should
be separated by 0.5 cm white space. A sample paper (taken from a previous
AIME workshop) is available.
Style files for both MS-Word
and LaTeX can
be obtained by clicking on the hyperlinks.
