<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; ">DTMBIO 12 organisers are pleased to announce that the sixth DTMBIO will be held in conjunction with CIKM, one of the largest data and text mining conferences. While CIKM presents the state-of-the-art
research in informatics with the primary focus on data and text mining, the main focus of DTMBIO is on biomedical and healthcare informatics. DTMBIO delegates will bring forth interesting applications of up-to-date informatics in the context of biomedical
research.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; "><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; ">Biological researchers face the current challenge of making effective use of the enormous amount of electronic biomedical data in order to better understand and explain complex biological systems. The
biomedical data repositories include data in a wide variety of forms, including bibliographic information from electronic medical journals, gene expression data from Microarray experiments, protein identification and quantification data from proteomics experiments,
genomic sequences gathered by the Human Genome Project, and patient healthcare records. The ability to automatically and effectively extract, integrate, understand and make use of information embedded in such heterogeneous - structured and unstructured - data
remains a challenging task.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; "><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; ">We invite the submission of papers that propose ways to address the variety of aspects involved in meeting this challenge.</div>
