AIM AND SCOPE OF WORKSHOP
################################
Data Mining has been used intensively and extensively to discover novel and deep insights of healthcare and clinical databases, to facilitate unprecedented understanding of large biomedical datasets. Today’s data mining provides multifaceted environment in knowledge discovery to transform the data into useful information for futuristic decision making.
1. Bring together researchers (from both academia and industry) as well as practitioners to present their latest ideas and discuss some future directions
2. Provide a forum where expertise can discuss important contributions towards or research on data mining and its application in biological and/or medical data
3. Attract healthcare providers to discuss hidden biomedical and healthcare patterns for clinical use of data
4. Enhance interaction among data mining and its application within healthcare in major areas of treatment effectiveness, management of healthcare, customer relationship management, and relationship among drugs
