The Applications and Foundations Tracks

Contributions that emphasize methods should be submitted to the Foundations of Informatics track, chaired by Jaap Suermondt of Hewlett-Packard Laboratories.

Contributions that emphasize specific problems should be submitted to the Applications of Informatics track, chaired by George Hripcsak of Columbia University.

We believe that almost all contributions to AMIA 2007 will have both foundational and pragmatic elements in them, and in many cases the assignment of papers and tracks will be less than obvious. Authors may be in the best position to make a final decision about track at the time they classify their contribution. After classifying his/her submission according to the method(s) employed and problem(s) addressed, authors who believe that the primary contribution of their work relates to the methods employed should submit to the Foundations track. Authors who believe that the primary contribution relates to the problems addressed should submit to the Applications track. All track assignments by authors will be reviewed by the Scientific Program Committee. The Committee will, in selected cases, change the assignments.

Foundations of Informatics

This track will emphasize conceptual advances relating to the structure, processing, management, and use of biomedical information. This track presents the results of innovative research on the scientific underpinnings of biomedical and health informatics - highlighting the fundamental advances that lead to new methods and, ultimately, to new applications in support of health care, biological research, and education.

Applications of Informatics

This track emphasizes innovations in the design, technology, implementation, use and evaluation of information systems and knowledge resources across the full spectrum of health care - in acute, ambulatory, and chronic care settings, public health departments, libraries, educational centers, and homes. Contributions to this track should emphasize applications that work in the real world to solve important problems.
