Preface
The European Society for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (AIME) was established in 1986 following a very successful workshop held in Pavia, Italy, the year before. The principal aims of AIME are to foster fundamental and applied research in the application of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to medical care and medical research, and to provide a forum at biennial conferences for discussing any progress made. For this reason the main activity of the Society was the organization of a series of biennial conferences, held in Marseilles, France (1987), London, UK (1989), Maastricht, The Netherlands (1991), Munich, Germany (1993), Pavia, Italy (1995), Grenoble, France (1997), Aalborg, Denmark (1999), Cascais, Portugal (2001), Protaras, Cyprus (2003), and Aberdeen, UK (2005). This volume contains the proceedings of AIME 2007, the 11th Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Medicine, held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, July 7-11, 2007. The AIME 2007 goals were to present and consolidate the international state of the art of AI in biomedical research from the perspectives of methodology and application. The con
