This workshop aims to discuss about all the different techniques
used to extract useful knowledge from biological and medical databases. But the objective of this workshop goes beyond. We will try to answer to the following questions: How the results obtained can be efficiently validated?, Can the different
techniques be applied in a easy manner?, are they really useful from the
biological or medical point of view?. In conclusion, not only the technical quality of
the different solutions is an important issue. We are insterested too in the real
application of these solutions. We invite technical papers or reviews about
data mining, text mining, statistics, mathematics, software tools, validation techniques, ,biological or medical databases, etc. All the contributions, in english or spanish, arewelcome.
Topics of interest (but not limited to):
- Microarray technoloqy
- Clustering. Biclustering. Association Rules
- Gene networks
- protein-protein interactions
- Validation methodology
- Development and integration of databases
- Ontologies
- Software tools
- Text Mining
- Genome and sequence analysis
- Gene expression data analysis
- Experiences on biological and medical experiments
Paper will be peer-reviewed and will appear in the workshop proceedings. Selected paper will be publish in a LNAI special edition (http://www.springer.com/series/1244) and an extended version of the best paper will be invited for a special issue of the BioData Mining journal (http://www.biodatamining.org/).
