Submission deadline | August 7, 2020 |
Submission Guidelines
We invite submissions of high quality papers describing original and unpublished results regarding any of the workshop’s topics of interest. Manuscripts must be prepared using the Springer-Verlag LNCS style for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). The page limit for workshop papers is 10 pages. Papers must be submitted as PDF files using this EasyChair CfP.
To ensure high quality, all papers will be thoroughly peer reviewed by the Program Committee. Manuscripts not submitted in the LNCS style or having more than 10 pages will not be reviewed and thus automatically rejected. The papers need to be original and not submitted or accepted for publication in any other workshop, conference, or journal. Submission to CMLS 2020 are electronically only.
Post-conference publication
We reached a preliminary agreement with BMC Bioinformatics journal (2-year IF 2.511, SJR 1.374) for a post-conference supplement related to Conceptual Modeling in Life Sciences. All the papers accepted to our workshop will be invited to submit a revised and extended version to the journal supplement.
For the best paper of the workshop (as assessed by the evaluations of the members of the Program Committee) the Article Processing Charges of the BMC Bioinformatics supplement will be fully covered by the organizers (GeCo at Politecnico di Milano & PROS at Universitat Politècnica de València).
Workshop Focus
The recent advances in unravelling the secrets of human conditions and diseases have encouraged new paradigms for their prevention, diagnosis and treatment. As the information is increasing at unprecedented rate, it directly impacts the design and future development of information and data management pipelines; thus, new ways of processing data, information and knowledge in health care environments are strongly needed.The proposed workshop aims at being, both, a starting meeting point for Information Systems, Conceptual Modeling, and Data Management researchers working on health care and life science problems, and an opportunity to share, discuss and find new approaches to improve promising fields, with a special focus on Genomic Data Management - how to use the information from the genome to better understand biological and clinical features - and Precision Medicine - giving to each patient an individualized treatment by understanding the peculiar aspects of the disease.From the precise ontological characterization of the components involved in complex biological systems, to the modeling of the operational processes and decision support methods used in the diagnosis and prevention of disease, the joined research communities of Information Systems, Conceptual Modeling, and Data Management have an important role to play; they must help in providing feasible solutions for a high-quality and efficient health care.
