AIME
In 1986 the European Society for  Artificial  Intelligence  in  Medicine
(AIME) was established to foster fundamental  and  applied  research  in
Artificial Intelligence for medical care and medical research. AIME also
assists industry in identifying high quality applications which  exploit
these techniques.

A  major  feature  of  AIME  activity  is  a  series  of   international
conferences held every two years. The third conference in this series is
AIME-91 to be held in Maastricht from 24th- 27th June 1991.

Aims and Scope of the Conference
The scope of AIME 91  ranges  from  theoretical  research  to  practical
applications of Artificial Intelligence in Medicine.  Main  themes  will
include:

 - knowledge representation and modelling
 - knowledge acquisition and explanation
 - temporal and spatial reasoning
 - uncertainty management in KBS
 - expert databases
 - KBS evaluation
 - clinical applications and integration
 - technology assessment of KBS

Contributions that describe practical applications should either include
results from evaluation studies or be  accompanied  by  a  demonstration
that will be scheduled in a separate  session.  The  scientific  program
will also include lectures by invited speakers and a  structured  poster
session.

On the 24th of June, there will be a number of  preconference  tutorials
on a variety of topics.

Delegates will be drawn from medicine, computer science and a wide range
of related disciplines.

Call for Papers
Papers are invited on any aspect of the theory, design or application of
medical AI systems. Submissions will be  refereed  by  an  international
panel on the basis of  draft,  full  length  papers  which  must  be  in
English, length  up  to  5000 words,  double  spaced.  Four  copies  are
required. The author's name(s), and affiliations should appear only on a
separate sheet, which will be removed  before  the  paper  is  sent  for
refereeing.  All  papers  accepted  will  appear   in   the   conference
proceedings.

Those who want to give  a  demonstration  should  clearly  identify  the
equipment needed (type of computer system, memory and disk requirements,
operating system etc.).
