Fuzz-IEEE2015: Fuzzy methods and applications in bioinformatics and health (FABH)

IEEE CIS Task Force on Fuzzy Logic in Medical Sciences



Special Session

FUZZ-IEEE 2015 ( 2015 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems )
Istanbul, Turkey, August 2-5, 2015

Special Session: Fuzzy methods and applications in bioinformatics and health
Chair: Syoji Kobashi, Ali Reza Khanteymoori, and Gerald Schaefer

Aim

The extensive use of fuzzy techniques and methods confirms that they present a a valuable approach in bioinformatics and health data analysis. This is due to several interesting qualities of fuzzy techniques such as the ability to process noisy data and the ability to decrease complexity. This special session, organized by he IEEE CIS Task Force of gFuzzy Logic in Medical Sciencesh, focuses on fuzzy logic based methods and applications for bioinformatics and health problems, with topics including bioinformatics data mining, pattern recognition, medical signal/image processing, healthcare/nursing care applications, hospital informatio. In addition, the special session aims to give an opportunity to researchers from both theoretical and application fields to communicate, discuss and, ultimately, collaborate, potentiall leading to new research areas in the near future.
