*Special Issue **Call for Papers*

*Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare Informatics: Learning, Optimization,
and Decision Making*

*Description:*

Fast-growing biomedical and healthcare data have encompassed multiple
scales ranging from molecules, individuals, to populations and have
connected various entities in healthcare systems  (providers, pharma,
payers) with increasing bandwidth, depth, and resolution. Those data are
becoming an enabling resource for accelerating basic science discoveries
and facilitating  evidence-based clinical solutions. Meanwhile, the sheer
volume and complexity of the data present major barriers toward their
translation into effective clinical actions. There is thus a compelling
demand for novel algorithms, including machine learning, data mining and
optimization, that specifically tackle the unique challenges associated
with biomedical and healthcare data and allow decision-makers and
stakeholders to better interpret and exploit the data.

This special issue is aimed at connecting research on artificial
intelligence (AI), machine learning, operations research, medical decision
makings, health informatics, smart and connected devices, statistics,
systems engineering, and other related fields with the common goals to (1)
develop new data-driven models to extract knowledge from complex healthcare
datasets for clinical knowledge discovery and decision making; (2)
integration of these data driven models with decision making models for
better clinical decision makings; and (3) new types of data collection,
sensing systems for better healthcare quality and patient outcomes. In
order to provide a publication venue to promote and present these emerging
research topics, IISE transactions on Healthcare Systems Engineering
invites researchers, clinicians, scientists and engineers to submit their
innovative research papers on the topic of AI, machine learning, operations
research, human factor, sensing, health monitoring and intervention, and
systems modeling, for healthcare informatics.

This special issue will be a partnership between the 3rd International
Workshop on *B*iomedical inf*O*rmatics with *O*ptimization and *M*achine
learning (BOOM) with the IISE Transactions on Healthcare Systems
Engineering. The BOOM workshop is in conjunction with Federated AI Meeting
of AAMAS, ICML, and IJCAI (FAIM). In 2016 and 2017, BOOM workshop has
partnered with two journals and received a good number of high-quality
submissions:
