This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Joint European Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Medicine and Medical Decision Making, AIMDM'99, held in Aalborg, Denmark, in June 1999.
The 27 full papers and 19 short papers presented in the book together with four invited papers were selected from 90 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on guidelines and protocols; decision support systems, knowledge-based systems, and cooperative systems; model-based systems; neural nets and causal probabilistic networks; knowledge representation; temporal reasoning; machine learning; natural language processing; and image processing and computer aided design.
