Organized in collaboration with Intelligent Data Analysis and Data Mining Working Group of International Medical Informatics Association, and Knowledge Discovery & Data Mining Working Group of American Medical Informatics Association

IDAMAP-2009, a colloquium on intelligent data analysis in biomedicine and pharmacology, will be held in conjunction with the 12^th Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Medicine in Verona, Italy.

The IDAMAP series is devoted to computational methods for data analysis in medicine, biology and pharmacology that present results of analysis in the form communicable to domain experts and that somehow exploit knowledge of the problem domain. Such knowledge may be available at different stages of the data-analysis and model-building process. Typical methods include data visualization, data exploration, machine learning, and data mining.

Gathering in an informal setting, colloquium participants will have the opportunity to meet and discuss selected technical topics in an atmosphere which fosters the active exchange of ideas among researchers and practitioners. The colloquium is intended to be a genuinely interactive event and not a mini-conference, thus ample time will be allotted for general discussion. A student challenge on data integration will be organized. Author of the best solution will be invited to present the work at the workshop.
