High-performance computing has become central to the future success of precision medicine. The dramatic increase in the volume of research and clinical data available through medical records, imaging technologies, sequencing, biometric sensors, and mobile health devices, has also opened many new frontiers for AI in medicine. Powered new computing platforms from edge to exascale, there is a critical convergence where HPC is shaping the future for medicine, from cancer to infectious diseases, to drug discovery, to digital twins, to critical decisions in hospital intensive care units.
Not surprisingly, the growth of opportunities for HPC in medicine applications continues to accelerate, powered many successful efforts including EU funded CompBioMed, US NIH Bridge2AI and a growing number of new opportunities globally. The workshop will highlight these opportunities, the convergence of experiment, modeling, AI and data, and the collaborations needed to address an absence of data, a need for standards, overcoming data bias, ethical use of AI approaches, and building confidence in HPC solutions to some of the most challenging problems in medicine.
The Fifth HPC Applications in Precision Medicine workshop will bring the computational and life sciences communities together to share experiences, examine current challenges, and discuss future opportunities for shaping the future of HPC applications in precision medicine.
Submission Guidelines
Given the tight turnaround time, abstracts will be accepted for HAPM22 on a rolling basis. Authors are encouraged to submit their abstracts by April 24, 2022. Abstracts submitted after that date will be evaluated for inclusion until all workshop spots are filled.
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.
-
Authors are invited to submit abstracts in English for consideration by the program committee. Abstracts may be submitted either as brief or extended abstracts. Brief abstracts will be considered for 15-minute presentations, while extended abstracts will be considered for presentations up to 30 minutes.
-
Brief abstract guidelines – submitted in English with a length up to 500 words.
-
Extended abstract guidelines – submitted in English, structured as preliminary technical papers of a length up to four letter size pages (not including bibliography). A bibliography should be included and use the IEEE format for conference proceedings (https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html).
-
- Submitted extended abstracts will be reviewed and selected for presentation in the HPC Applications of Precision Medicine workshop.
- Extended abstracts will be reviewed and judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, alignment to expressed aims in the paper call, quality of presentation and interest to workshop attendees. Submitted abstracts may incorporate unpublished new advances, insight and/or original research findings.
- Submissions received after the due date, exceeding the prescribed length, or not appropriately structured may also be returned without consideration or review.
- In submitting the paper, the authors acknowledge that at least one author of an accepted submission will register for and attend the workshop.
