The XI Medical Informatics Workshop (WIM 2011) is a community forum where researchers, students, professionals and entrepreneurs can meet and exchange their experiences. WIM 2011 focuses on the application of Computer Science principles and methods to address healthcare-related issues. WIM 2011 is sponsored by the Brazilian Computing Society (SBC), and will be hosted within the CSBC 2011, SBC´s major conference, in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte From the 19th till the 22nd of July 2011. WIM is the official annual meeting of SBC´s Computing Applied to Healthcare Special Committee. WIM is also officially supported by Brazilian Society on Healthcare Informatics (SBIS).
WIM activities include full and short paper presentations, as well as invited keynotes presentations and roundtables, It runs for 2 days within the CSBC 2011 conference.
