Dear colleagues,

We are very excited to invite you to participate in the AIME 2020 International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (http://aime20.aimedicine.info/). The AIME 2020 conference will be held for the first time ever in North America, in Minneapolis MN, USA on August 26-29, 2020. As previous AIME conferences (from Pavia in 1985 to Poznan in 2019) it will be a unique opportunity to present significant theoretical, methodological, and applied results related to the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine. AIME 2020 will include invited lectures, full and short papers, tutorials, workshops, and a doctoral consortium. We are soliciting submissions on the topics of:

+ Machine learning and big data analytics,
+ Knowledge discovery and data mining,
+ Biomedical ontologies and terminologies,
+ Biomedical knowledge acquisition and representation,
+ Knowledge-based reasoning in biomedicine,
+ Natural language processing,
+ Biomedical imaging processing,
+ Document classification and information retrieval,
+ Bayesian networks, fuzzy logic and reasoning under uncertainty,
+ Temporal and spatial representation and reasoning,
+ Healthcare processes and workflow management,
+ Computerized clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) and protocols,
+ Signal processing,
+ Visual analytics in biomedicine,
+ Clinical decision support systems (CDSSs),
+ Patient engagement support (personal healthcare record),
+ Explainable AI (XAI) for health,
+ Precision medicine and health,
+ AI solutions for ambient assisted living, telemedicine, and e-health.
