Neuware -The 2nd International Symposium on Medical Data Analysis (ISMDA 2001) was the continuation of the successful ISMDA 2000, a conference held in Fra- furt, Germany, in September 2000. The ISMDA conferences were conceived to integrate interdisciplinary research from scienti c elds such as statistics, s- nal processing, medical informatics, data mining, and biometrics for biomedical data analysis. A number of academic and professional people from those elds, including computer scientists, statisticians, physicians, engineers, and others, - alized that new approaches were needed to apply successfully all the traditional techniques, methods, and tools of data analysis to medicine. ISMDA 2001, as its predecessor, aimed to provide an international forum for sharing and exchanging original research ideas and practical development ex- riences. This year we broadened the scope of the conference, to included methods for image analysis and bioinformatics. Both are exciting scienti c research elds and it was clear to the scienti c committee that they had to be included in the areas of interest. Medicine has been one of the most di cult application areas for computing. The number and importance of the di erent issues involved suggests why many data analysis researchers nd the medical domain such a challenging eld. New interactive approaches are needed to solve these problems. 324 pp. Englisch.

Synopsis

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Symposium on Medical Data Analysis, ISMDD 2001, held in Madrid, Spain, in October 2001. The 43 revised papers presented together with three invited keynote papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 72 submissions. Among the issues addressed are data analysis and diagnosis, classification, clustering, medical image analysis, Bayesian networks, decision support systems, fuzzy modeling, time series analysis, collaborative filtering, pattern recognition, case-based reasoning, rule-based inference, and computer vision.
