- Abstract
Artificial Intelligence in medicine is a special field of Medical Informatics and deals with the enhancement of medical information systems by knowledge based components and new paradigms. The European Society for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine Europe (AIME) was established in 1986 to foster fundamental and applied research in artificial intelligence and in symbolic information processing techniques for medical care and medical research. This book presents the proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (AIME93), held in Munich, Germany, in October 1993. The book contains the 26 oral presentations from the conference, as well as 38 poster presentations and two keynote speeches, and are mainly grouped around the two subject areas of knowledge acquisition and representation, and strategies for medical reasoning. Many of the papers also describe applications of AI systems in medicine. Providing a unique overview of the research and methodologies of the time, the book will be of interest to all those involved in the use of AI in medicine.
