Dear Colleague,
Please notice that the Call for Papers for the Workshop "Challenges forthe application of Grids in Healthcare" is now open:
http://www.science.uva.nl/~silvia/CCGrid-Health/
This workshop is organized in conjunction with the CCGrid conference, in Shangai, China, May 2009, reserving room for discussion about thechallenges for the construction and deployment of grids in Healthcare inthis prestigious conference. During the workshop, application developersand computer scientists will have the opportunity to interact, reducingthe gap between these communities.
The workshop has the goals of obtaining an overview of on-going effortsin health-related grid applications; obtaining an overview of issues(technologies, achievements, gaps, roadblocks); and disseminatinghealthgrid requirements in the grid research community.Contributions towards any of these goals are welcome to this workshop,and will be published in the CCGrid proceedings.
The deadline for submissions is December 23.
We look forward to your contribution!

Organizers CCGrid-Health
Topics
Grid technology offers rapid computation, large scale data storage and flexible collaboration by harnessing together the power of a large number of desktop machines or clusters. Grids were devised for use in scientific fields, such as particle physics and bioinformatics, but they are also applicable in other areas, for example in biomedical research and in the delivery of healthcare. Specialised grid technologies for bio-health informatics are called healthgrids. Several projects are exploring the potential of healthgrids in a large variety of scenarios, for example simulation for surgery planning, radiology, human genetics, epidemiology, and disease monitoring. The benefits of grids start to become visible through the construction of demonstrators, however scaling from a prototyping environment to deployment in realistic scenarios has been slow due to an enormous amount of challenges of technical and non-technical nature. Overcoming the technical obstacles and improving the quality of existing applications will require research in the field of Computer Science addressing the specific requirements of healthgrids.
This workshop aims at reserving room for discussion about the challenges for the construction and deployment of grids in Healthcare within CCGrid, offering a contact opportunity between healthgrid application developers and contributing to reduce the gap between the two communities. The workshop has the goals of obtaining an overview of on-going efforts in health-related grid applications; obtaining an overview of issues (technologies, achievements, gaps, roadblocks); and disseminating healthgrid requirements in the grid research community.
Contributions towards any of these goals are welcome to this workshop, and papers that go through the reviewing process will be published in the CCGrid proceedings.

ICT4Health 2008: Keynote Speaker -- Prof. Avner Friedman

Title: Interaction of tumor with its microenvironment
Avner FRIEDMAN, Ph.D.
Distinguished Professor of Mathematics and Physical Sciences
Director, Mathematical Biosciences Institute
The Ohio State University, USA
Abstract:
It is well known that the growth of a tumor depends on the environment in which it is located; the tumor and its environment affect each other. In order to develop a predictive model of this interaction, in vitro experiments are performed in which a semi-permeable membraneseparates epithelial tumor cell take from breast cancer and fibroblaststaken either from healthy tissue in the breast or from tumor tissue Theproliferation of the epithelial cells is then measured in both cases overa period of time. I shall describe a mathematical model developed jointlywith Yangjin Kim which describes the above experiments; the model make prediction that agree with the experimental results, and thus can be usedto further explore the interactions between the tumor and it environment.
About the Speaker:
Research Area: Research interests include partial differential equations, both general mathematical theory as well as applications to models that arise in the physical and life sciences, in engineering, and in industry. Dr. Friedman is particularly interested in problems in which phase transitions or moving interfaces are present. Other research interests include control theory and stochastic differential equations.
Short Biography: Professor Friedman is the Director of the Mathematical Biosciences Institute at The Ohio State University, and also tenure as a Distinguished Professor of Mathematical and Physical Sciences. He received his PH.D. degree in 1956 from the Hebrew University. He served as the Director of the Institute for Mathematics and its Application at the University of Minnesota during 1987 – 1999, and as the Director of the Minnesota Center for Industrial Mathematics during the year 1994 – 2001. A few of his honors include membership in the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Title:
"Image Based Reasoning using Medical Knowledge to improve DiagnosisAssistance"
(Showcases: Early Detection of Brain stroke from brain CT, Histopathology Imaging-based Automatic Breast Cancer Grading.)
Summary:
Taking into account the medical domain knowledge to enhance theefficiency/effectiveness of the computer aided diagnosis systems isstudied using different aspects of the medical knowledge. Our approachesuse medical ontologies in order to narrow the well-known “semantic gap” incontent based medical image retrieval framework. Other more recent of ourapproaches consider a tripolar image-based reasoning system, dynamicallyinvolving a priori knowledge, statistical analysis of medical cases andimage analysis techniques.
The perspectives of these approaches arediscussed regarding to the evolution of the evidence-based medicine.After a short introduction of the medical imaging activities of the IPALFrench-Singaporean lab (Image Perception, Access and Language, NUS, I2RA*STAR, CNRS), and of the ONCO-MEDIA project, my presentation will focuson the Image Based Reasoning Systems using Medical Knowledge to improveDiagnosis Assistance. Two specific topics will be developed: one relatedto the Early Detection of Brain stroke from brain CT, and a second onerelated to the Histopathologic Imaging-based Automatic Breast CancerGrading.Daniel RacoceanuShort biography:Senior Scientist at the French National Research Center (CNRS), DanielRACOCEANU is with Image Perception, Access & Language (IPAL), anInternational Research Unit – (UMI CNRS 2955) created between the CNRS,the National University of Singapore (NUS), the Institute for InfocommResearch (I2R) of the Singaporean Agency for Science, Technology andResearch (A*STAR) and the University Joseph Fourier of Grenoble, France(UJF).

ICT4Health 2008 will be held in conjunction with the 4th ONCO-MEDIA Project Meeting in Asia. ONCO-MEDIA (http://www.onco-media.com/) is international research collaboration on biomedical applications of Grid technology funded by the ICT Asia Regional Program of the French Government. The aim of ONCO-MEDIA project is to deploy a medical image semantic content-based application on a large scale grid test bed, by taking into account the context of the user and of the navigation / query and by matching semantic visual concepts extracted from the medical image with those (textual) extracted from the associated medical reports.
ICT4Health 2008 will also feature a Workshop on Apoptosis (Cancer).
Topics:
ICT4Health 2008 will include (but is not limited to) the following topics:
- Bioinformatics
- Biomedical Applications of Grid Computing
- Biomedical Imaging
- Computational Methods and Algorithms for Biomedical Applications
- ICT-facilitated Collaboration in Biomedical/Health Research
