_M-Bed(sm): A Registry of Embedded Multimedia Electronic Journals_
I am pleased to announcement the formal establishment of a new registry of
electronic journals that incorporate or integrate embedded multimedia
within their e-articles. The registry is entitled:
_M-Bed(sm): A Registry of Embedded Multimedia Electronic Journals_
and is accessible from
http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/M-Bed.htm
Currently the registry is only an alphabetical listing of identified
e-journal titles. As time permits, I will be preparing specialized indexes
by type of multimedia and plug-in as well. The registry also contains a
General Bibliography of key works on the topic of multimedia in e-journals.
I have prepared a 2,000 word newsletter article on "Embedded Multimedia in
Electronic Journals" that is scheduled to be published within the
newsletter of the Special Interest Group on Visualization, Images, and
Sound (VIS) of the American Society for Information Science (ASIS) in the
near future. The address for the ASIS SIG VIS is
http://www.asis.org/SIG/SIGVIS/news.html
I would greatly appreciate learning of additional multimedia e-journals as
well as receiving citations/sitations to any high-relevant literature not
currently listed for expanded article I will be preparing this summer for a
Fall deadline.
I wish to express my gratitude to all who contributed nominations for this
listing as well as relevant citations from my previous queries.
Thanks again to all!

OBJECTIVE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE
The care of critically ill patients in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) and
during Anaesthesia is becoming increasingly complex. Clinicians are
required to rapidly interpret and respond to a large number of clinical
parameters, selecting appropriate treatment for the patient among many
different options. New measurement technology has increased the demand for
improved information management, as has the need to monitor and assess the
quality of care provided. Designing computerized systems to assist clinical
staff in monitoring, diagnosis and therapy planning tasks is a challenging
goal that requires the modeling of several levels of knowledge. The
objective behind this special issue is to report on state-of-the art of
theoretical and methodological developments for knowledge-based information
management in intensive care and anesthesia.
Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:
· quality control and assessment
· clinical guidelines and protocols
· computational methods for intelligent data analysis
· effective and efficient real-time monitoring (including intelligent
alarming)
· decision support
· fusion of data from heterogeneous sources
· multi-agent design, distributed architecture
· uncertain and temporal reasoning
· knowledge acquisition from physiological data
· information visualization
· information retrieval

Re: IJCNN'99 Associated Workshop: USA-NIS NOW'99
USA-NIS Neurocomputing Opportunities Workshop
Washington,DC, July 12-17, 1999
http://www.acil.ttu.edu/conferences/NSF_NOW.html
Sponsored by the National Science Foundation of the USA and Applied
Computational Intelligence Lab, TTU
Associated with the International Joint Conference on Neural Networks,
IJCNN'99
USA - Newly Independent States of the Former Soviet Union Neurocomputing
Opportunities Workshop
The workshop is intended to get together leading researchers in the field
of Neural Networks studies from USA and New Independent States of the
Former Soviet Union.
It is well known, that the USSR indeed have had great potential in science
and technology, evidenced by outstanding technological achievements (first
sputniks, etc.). At the break of 80s a bunch of Research and Technological
programs in general direction of Neural Bionics has been launched in the
USSR. This move of Soviet authorities was undertaken a bit ahead of the
world Neural Network Boom of the late 80s - early 90s. Interesting
pioneering results were obtained and substantial scientific potential has
been attracted into this field. However, the new development began in the
epoch of dramatic political changes the former USSR, and former Soviet
scientists in the new field have had few chances to meet colleagues from
International community.
Since that time Russian Neural Network science (i.e., Russian speaking
science of the former USSR) is tremendously under-represented in all
International (excluding rare events in Russia) Neural Network Forums.
In spite of the fact that many Russian researchers have flown abroad, the
science in Neural Networks still survives and makes progress in the Former
Soviet Union. There are working groups in Moscow, Kiev, Minsk, St.
Petersburg, Rostov-on-Don, Krasnoyarsk, Nizhnij Novgorod and at least in a
dozen of other cities, where more or less intense NN research are on the
way. There are annual conferences and other national forums on this topic
in Moscow and Krasnoyarsk and less frequent, than annual, conferences in
Yalta (Crimea, Ukraine), St. Petersburg, Rostov-on-Don and other cities.
The aim of the USA - NIS workshop is to get together leading researchers in
the field in both countries in order to identify one or several research
and technological topics, where joint efforts could be of maximal use.
Publication of the forum proceedings will be provided in a special issue of
the IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and a bunch of proposals for
joint research is anticipated to result from the meeting.

GENERAL INFORMATION:
IDAMAP-99 is a Workshop at the AMIA 1999 Annual Symposium - November 6-10,
1999 - Washington, DC prior to the start of the main AMIA conference.
Gathering in an informal setting, workshop participants will have the
opportunity to meet and discuss selected technical topics in an atmosphere,
which fosters the active exchange of ideas among researchers and
practitioners. To encourage interaction and a broad exchange of ideas, the
workshop will be kept small, preferably under 30 active participants,
although registered AMIA 99 Fall Symposium members are welcome to attend.
The workshop is intended to be a genuinely interactive event and not a
mini-conference, thus ample time will be allotted for general discussion.
The workshop will last a half-day.
This is the fourth workshop on Intelligent Data Analysis in Medicine and
Pharmacology (IDAMAP). The former IDAMAP Workshops were held in Budapest in
1996, in Nagoya in 1997, and in Brighton in 1998.
WORKSHOP TOPICS:
In all human activities, automatic data collection pushes towards the
development of tools able to handle and analyze data in a
computer-supported fashion. In the majority of the application areas, this
task cannot be accomplished without using the available knowledge on the
domain or on the data analysis process. This need becomes essential in
biomedical applications, since medical decision-making needs to be
supported by arguments based on basic medical and pharmacological knowledge.
The topics of the workshop are computational methods for data analysis able
to exploit the available knowledge to narrow the gap between data gathering
and data comprehension, as well as their applications in medicine and
pharmacology. Expert physicians should be included in the preparation of
data for IDA process (e.g., data representation, modeling, cleaning,
selection, and transformation), as well as in the interpretation and
exploitation of results and their (potential) impact on medical practice.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
* effective data mining techniques: machine learning tools, clustering,
etc.
* temporal reasoning: applications of IDA in patient monitoring or bio-
signal processing, interpretation of time-ordered data (derivation
and revision of temporal trends and other forms of temporal data
abstraction),
* information visualization: visualization of medical data and
visualization of IDA's results,
* case-based reasoning,
* construction of decision models to support medical decision making,
* discovery of new diseases and new drug compounds,
* pharmacodynamical modeling,
* predicting drug activity, etc.
Emphasis will also be given to solving of problems, which result from
automated data collection in modern hospitals, such as analysis of
computer-based patient records (CPR), data warehousing tools, intelligent
alarming, effective and efficient monitoring, etc.
In particular, we will ask the participants to address the following points:
- what kind of knowledge they have used and/or extracted;
- why they need to exploit the available prior knowledge in their
problem;
- how they have represented the available knowledge;
- how they plan to use / have used the derived knowledge.
SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:
The workshop invites submission of long and short papers written in English
to the workshop chair, Yuval Shahar (email: shahar@smi.stanford.edu),
preferably in electronic format (pdf or postscript) no later than ** July
26, 1999 **. The length of long papers is of about 5000 words (10 pages)
and length of short papers is about 1500 words (3 pages).
Authors will be notified of acceptance by September 6, 1999.
Papers will appear as separate workshop notes.

SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM:
The scientific program of the workshop will consist of presentations of
accepted papers and panel discussions. Papers are invited both on
methodological issues of intelligent data analysis as well as on specific
applications in medicine and pharmacology. Panel discussions will be
organized into two phases: the first one will be devoted to identify
clusters of basic approaches presented to intelligently analyze data, the
second one will deal on discussions initialized by participants.

Re: UC Irvine's KDD Archive: CFDatasets
The UCI KDD Archive
Call for Datasets
http://kdd.ics.uci.edu/
The UC Irvine Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) Archive is a new
online repository (http://kdd.ics.uci.edu/) of large datasets which
encompasses a wide variety of data types, analysis tasks, and application
areas. The primary role of this repository is to serve as a benchmark
testbed to enable researchers in knowledge discovery and data mining to
scale existing and future data analysis algorithms to very large and
complex data sets.
This archive is supported by the Information and Data Management Program at
the National Science Foundation, and is intended to expand the current UCI
Machine Learning Database Repository
(http://www.ics.uci.edu/~mlearn/MLRepository.html) to datasets that are
orders of magnitude larger and more complex.
We are seeking submissions of large, well-documented datasets that can be
made publicly available. Data types and tasks of interest include, but is
not limited to:
Data Types Tasks
multivariate classification
time series regression
sequential clustering
relational density estimation
text/web retrieval
image causal modeling
spatial visualization
multimedia discovery
transactional exploratory data analysis
heterogeneous data cleaning
sound/audio recommendation systems
Submission Guidelines: Please see the UCI KDD Archive web site for detailed
instructions.
