Special Track 2:

Deep Learning Applications in Medical Care ( URL )


The development of intelligent medical data analysis systems has experienced a significant boost in recent years thanks to the emergence of a machine learning paradigm known as deep learning. Deep learning (DL) algorithms have enabled development of highly accurate systems (with performance comparable to that of human experts, in some cases) and have become a standard choice for ...

Call for Special Tracks ( PDF )


IEEE CBMS 2020 invites proposals for organisation of special tracks that will be held in parallel with the general conference track. A special track consists of a group of papers in a sub-discipline, such as health informatics, biomedical engineering/technology or a specialised field.

Special tracks are an integral part of most CBMS conferences since 2005. The themes of the special tracks should not overlap with the general conference topics and should focus on emerging research fields. Their papers should report on significant unpublished work and must meet the same standards as main conference papers. All accepted papers are included in the conference proceedings.

Organiser(s) of each Special Track (ST) are responsible for the quality of the papers in their track as well as managing the review process accordingly and assigning Program Committee members as reviewers for the ST. Special Track Chairs in collaboration with the ST organiser(s) and PC chairs will do the final paper selection. A successful special track will consist of at least 4-5 accepted papers per session and 1-3 sessions.

Email:
If you are interested in organizing a Special Track, please submit your proposal by email to
