Aims & Scope
------------
Increased life expectancies and the expectation of universal medical 
care provision in modern societies clash with the increasing costs of 
meeting those challenges. The promises of Personalized Medicine (PM) may 
become wishful thinking unless they deliver on cost efficiency. The most 
promising avenue to deliver on such efficiency is the use of data 
science approaches. The use of data-centred Computational Intelligence 
(CI) methods is becoming an important tool in healthcare and medical 
applications for providing enhanced diagnosis and prognosis tailored to 
the patient's characteristics and needs. Data-intensive assays, 
widespread sensorization and big data technologies enable the capturing 
and sharing of increasingly larger amounts of biomedical data, which 
need to be exploited through computational analysis in order to discover 
meaningful patterns in data. CI methods, including machine learning in 
general (and deep learning in particular) as well as other soft 
computing approaches are at the forefront of efficient complex medical 
and omics data analysis. In this special session, we call for new 
research on applications that, using CI approaches, can provide 
efficient solutions for the development of PM applications based on 
biomedical and bioinformatics data.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
·        Applications of personalized medicine based on CI methods
·        Biomedical pattern recognition using machine learning for PM
·        Data-intensive biomedical assays
·        Biomedical data sharing and harmonization
·        Regulation of CI-based medical devices Interpretable, 
explainable and transparent CI methods for PM
