Preface

The European Society for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (AIME) was established in 1986 with two main goals: 1) to foster fundamental and applied research in the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to medical care and medical research, and 2) to provide a forum for reporting significant results achieved at biennial conferences. Additionally, AIME assists medical industrials to identify new AI techniques with high potential for integration into new products. A major activity of this society has been a series of international conferences, from Marseille (FR) in 1987 to Cascais (PT) in 2001, held biennially over the last 16 years. The AIME conference provides a unique op
