Biomedical and Health Informatics (BIH) workshop 2011

摘要

The 2011 International Workshop on Biomedical and Health Informatics (BIH), chaired by Illhoi Yoo (University of Missouri, USA), was held in Atlanta, GA, USA, from November 13 to 14, 2011, in conjunction with the 2011 IEEE Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (BIBM). 14 workshops were held in conjunction with the BIBM conference. The BIH conference was the only 2-day workshop in the conference. The workshop received 40 submissions. Every paper was reviewed by at least two program committee members. The program committee and the workshop Chair selected 17 full papers and 10 short papers from them. Among the full papers, seven papers were invited to submit an extended version (at least 40 %) for publication in a special issue of the Network Modeling Analysis in the Health Informatics and Bioinformatics (NetMAHIB) journal. Extended manuscripts were reviewed, revised, and approved by reviewers. In the current special issue of the journal, five papers are presented (the remaining two papers will be published in a regular issue of the journal).
