IIBM 2013 - The 6th International Workshop on Intelligent Informatics in Biology and Medicine (IIBM-2013)

Advances of information technologies have facilitated and accelerated the research on molecular biology and medicine in the past few decades. Great success has been achieved. However, to move further more sophisticated technologies are needed. The applications of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data mining in this area can help the researcher to discover new knowledge. This is a very important direction. Also, to improve the quality of healthcare and medicine, different sensing and information processing technologies are applied. This workshop wishes to attract state-of-the-art solutions and novel attempts in these fields. Previous IIBMs were held in Barcelona, Spain (2008), Fukuoka, Japan (2009), Krakow, Poland (2010), Seoul, Korea (2011) and Palermo, Italy (2012).
