Artificial Inte= lligence (AI) can play an important role in the decision making process, mo= st concretely in the way the data of the patients are collected, treated, = processed and presented as well to test and simulate new treatments, scenar= ios and devices. The big question to be answered is: How Artificial Intelli= gence can help to overcome these challenges and provide new and efficient s= olutions to medicine? Business Intelligence, Data Mining, Sensing, Pervasiveness, Ubiquity and In= telligent Agents in Medicine, can contribute with new artifacts and new kno= wledge for health professionals. The development of AI systems has been one= of the most ambitious and, not surprisingly, controversial themes in medic= ine. Often, healthcare professionals are septic regarding the use of these = technologies, because they are afraid of losing their jobs. However, this c= oncern is not justified. AI no longer aims the substitution of professional= s by computer artefacts. AI aims to improve the usability of programs for a= ssisting physicians in figuring out what is wrong with the patients and pro= vide new solutions to help making better decisions. AI systems are intended= to support healthcare practitioners in the normal course of their duties, = assisting with tasks that rely on the manipulation of data and knowledge. I= n particular, these systems have for example the capacity to learn, leading= to the discovery of new phenomena and the creation of medical knowledge. This track promotes a forum to discuss and present emergent themes, new pro= jects and ideas about how AI can contribute to the field of Medicine and, m= ost concretely, improve patient conditions. By bringing together researcher= s from two distinct areas is expected to produce new scientific and technic= al knowledge in a particular area as is medicine. Information technology, in general, can help improving human health and lon= gevity. To achieve this goal innovative and intelligent software can be dep= loyed in order to improve medical research, disease prevention, and healthc= are service delivery. The motto of this track is "artificial intelligence improves medicine" and = we are inviting the community to share this vision. TOPICS OF INTEREST Innovative and exciting works are welcome in areas including but not limite= d to: Medical methodologies, architectures, environments and systems. * Agents for information retrieval; * AI in Medical Education and Clinical Management; * Wellbeing and lifestyle support; * Interoperability, Security, Pervasiveness, Ubiquity a= nd Cloud Computing in Medicine; * Methodological, philosophical, ethical, and social is= sues of AI in Medicine; * Pervasive Healthcare Environments; * Software architectures.

PAPER SUBMISSION All papers should be submitted in PDF format through EPIA'2015 submission W= ebsite. Submissions must be original and can be of two types: regular (full= -length) papers should not exceed twelve (12) pages in length, whereas shor= t papers should not exceed six (6) pages. Each submission will be peer revi= ewed by at least three members of the Program Committee. The reviewing proc= ess is double blind. All the accepted papers will appear in the proceedings= published by Springer in the LNAI series (previous EPIA proceedings were i= ndexed by the Thomson ISI Web of Knowledge, Scopus, DBLP and ACM digital li= brary). *Authors of the best papers presented at the AIM track of EPIA will be invi= ted to submit extended versions of their manuscripts for a special issue of= the "Artificial Intelligence in Medicine", indexed at ISI Web of Knowledge= (ISI impact factor JCR2013 of 1.356): http://www.aiimjournal.com/. Artific= ial Intelligence and Medicine publishes original articles from a wide varie= ty of interdisciplinary perspectives concerning the theory and practice of = artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine and health care.
