<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>--- CALL FOR SPECIAL TRACK
PROPOSALS ---</FONT></DIV>
<P><FONT size=2>Trinity College Dublin<BR>Ireland<BR>June 23-24, 2005</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>Deadline for submission of special track proposals is November
15, 2004</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>The IEEE CBMS 2005 Ogranising Committee invites proposals for
Special Tracks for the 2005 IEEE Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems, to
be held at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, June 23-24, 2005. A special track
usually consists of presentation of papers in a medical informatics sub
discipline or a special field, refereed by researchers and practitioners in the
field. Unlike workshops, where position papers and reports on initial and
intended work are appropriate, papers selected for a special track should report
on significant unpublished work suitable for publication as a conference
paper.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>CBMS 2005 is co-sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society
(Technical Committee on Computational Medicine, TCCM), and Department of
Computer Science, Trinity College Dublin. More information on IEEE CBMS 2005 may
be found on the conference web site: </FONT><A

size=2>.<BR> <BR>If you are interested in proposing a special track, please
send us a proposal as described below, by the deadline. The CBMS Organising
Committee will respond to you on the acceptance of your proposal by December 15,
2004. We expect you to follow this timetable to provide sufficient time for
publicity of the special tracks. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>Each Special Track organizer will be responsible for the quality
of the Special Track papers and manage the review process accordingly, assigning
a Program Committee for the Track. All accepted papers will be published in the
IEEE CBMS 2005 Proceedings by the IEEE Computer Science Press.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>Papers for special tracks which were not accepted by the
corresponding Program Committee can be considered for publication as regular
submissions by the General Program Committee of IEEE CBMS 2005.<BR> <BR>If
you know of some colleague who might be interested in proposing a track, please
share this announcement with her/him or send us the e-mail address of the
colleague.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>Please find below the details to be included in your proposal
and important dates. Proposals should be submitted by e-mail to Dr. Nadia
Bolshakova (</FONT><A href="mailto:Nadia.Bolshakova@cs.tcd.ie"><FONT
size=2>Nadia.Bolshakova@cs.tcd.ie</FONT></A><FONT size=2>), Special Tracks
Chair. All proposals will be carefully reviewed. The notification of acceptance
will be sent out before December 15, 2004. Please contact us with any questions
