BIOINFORMATICS - Genome, Proteome and Health in the Cyberspace Era
MedInfo'98: 9th World Congress on Medical Informatics to be held in Seoul, Korea, August 18-22, 1998.

MedInfo, the largest medical informatics conference to be organized, is taking place every three years. MedInfo'98, to be organized in Seoul, Korea, accepts six categories of contributions: papers, panels, experiences, workshops, tutorials, and demonstrations. Two types of papers will be considered for the Bioinformatics track, that will all be printed in the congress proceedings, published on the congress CD-ROM, and indexed in the MEDLINE database:

Scientific Papers - these papers represent original contributions to the science of medical/health informatics with a clear statement of objectives, methods and results.
Review Papers - these papers highlight the current state-of-the-art of health informatics, and present a thorough synthesis of key issues.
If you intend to contribute an article, please confirm this by e-mail to ron.appel@dim.hcuge.ch or by fax to Ron Appel +41 22 372 61 98.
