AIME also assists industry in identifying high quality medical products which exploits these techniques. A major AIME activity was and will be a biannual series of international conferences: 1987 Marseille 1989 London 1991 Maastricht 1993 Munich 1995 Pavia These Conferences show recent scientific results presented in oral contributions, posters, and demonstrations. An important part are the tutorials which are both methodological and user oriented. AIM, the journal for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine is going to be the members' journal of AIME, and is available to members at a reduced rate. Call for Papers and Posters Papers are invited on any aspect of theory, design or applications of medical AI systems.
