The Data Mining (DM), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Health Applications (HA) Subdivisions of the Institute for Operations Research and Management Sciences (INFORMS) propose to jointly organize the 8th Pre-conference Workshop in conjunction with the 2013 INFORMS Annual Conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota. On behalf of the INFORMS DM-HI 2013 Organizing Committee, we would like to invite you to submit an abstract, not exceeding 200 words, for review. Authors of accepted abstracts will be expected to give a presentation at the Workshop and submit a short paper, not exceeding 6 pages, for the Workshop Proceedings, which will be available on a CD at the workshop.

The proposed workshop will consist of two parallel tracks, a data mining track and a health informatics track. Each track will consist of at least two morning sessions and two afternoon sessions, and each session will consist of three or four presentations. Two plenary speakers will be scheduled, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

Submit your Abstract here.

Abstracts (200 words or less) submitted for the Workshop will be reviewed.

Presentations and Proceedings

If you have been selected to give a presentation at the workshop, you are also expected to submit a short paper, not exceeding six pages, for the Workshop Proceedings that will be available on a CD at the workshop. Each presentation is 20 minutes long, with 5 minutes for questions.

– Please use the LaTeX template or PDF template for the 6 page paper. The deadline for the 6 page paper is: September 2, 2013 - 6 page paper deadline date.

Please ensure that the paper is checked carefully for grammatical problems, particularly if you are not a native English speaker.

– To register for the workshop, it is easiest to do this while you are registering for the INFORMS conference itself. The option to select the workshop is during the check-out.

– In order to expedite transitions between presentations at the workshop, we will try to have most of the presentations pre-loaded onto a laptop. Please either bring a PDF file with you on a USB drive, or email it to the organizers in advance.
