MedGEC 2013 - International Workshop on Medical Applications of Genetic and Evolutionary Computation (MedGEC)

Subjects will include (but are not limited to) applications of GEC to:
Medical imaging
Medical signal processing
Medical text analysis
Clinical diagnosis and therapy
Data mining medical data and records
Clinical expert systems
Modelling and simulation of medical processes
Drug description analysis
Genomic-based clinical studies
Patient-centric care
A dedicated workshop at GECCO provides a much needed focus for medical related applications of EC, not only providing a clear definition of the state of the art, but also support to practitioners for whom GEC might not be their main area of expertise or experience.
The Workshop has two main aims:
(i) to provide delegates with examples of the current state of the art of applications of GEC to medicine.
(ii) to provide a forum in which researchers can discuss and exchange ideas, support and advise each other in theory and practice.
GECCO is widely regarded to be the most authoritative conference in GEC and as such, offers the ideal venue for this important and growing community.
Accepted Workshop papers will be published in the GECCO 2013 Companion Material, included with the proceedings on a CD, and also in the ACM Digital Library.
