IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology
and Bioinformatics
Special Issue on
Deep Learning-Empowered Big Data Analytics in Biomedical
Applications and Digital Healthcare
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aims and Scope
Deep learning and big data analysis are among the most important research
topics in the fields of biomedical applications and digital healthcare.
With the fast development of AI and IoT technologies, deep learning for big
data analytics, including affective learning, reinforcement learning, and
transfer learning, are widely applied to sense, learn, and interact with
human health. Examples of biomedical application include smart
biomaterials, biomedical imaging, heartbeat/blood pressure measurement, and
eye tracking. These biomedical applications collect healthcare data through
remote sensors and transfer the data to a centralized system for analysis.
With an enormous amount of historical data, deep learning and big data
analysis technologies are able to identify potential linkage between
features and possible risks, raise important decision for medical
diagnosis, and provide precious advice for better healthcare treatment and
lifestyle. Although significant progress has been made with AI, deep
learning, and big data analysis technologies for medical and healthcare
research, there remain gaps between the computer-aided treatment design and
real-world healthcare demands. In addition, there are unexplored areas in
the fields of healthcare and biomedical applications with cutting-edge AI
and deep learning technologies. Therefore, exploring the possibility of
deep learning and big data analysis technology in the fields of biomedical
applications and healthcare is in high demand.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
• Deep learning in medicine, human biology, and healthcare
• Deep learning-based clinical decision making
• Deep learning in biomedical applications
• Deep learning in medical and healthcare education
• Deep learning-based computer vision on medical images
• Big data with smart computing in bioinformatics and biomechanics
• Big data analytics for human biology and healthcare services
• Big data with intelligent IoT for smart healthcare
• Big data analytics in biomedical services
• Knowledge-based or agent-based models for biological systems
• Distributed systems in medical and healthcare services
• Intelligent devices and instruments for medical and healthcare services
• Intelligent and process-aware information systems in human biology,
healthcare, and medicine
Submissions

ScalA21: 12th Workshop on Latest Advances in
Scalable Algorithms for Large-Scale Systems
held in conjunction with the
SC21: The International Conference on High Performance
Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis
in cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society Technical
Consortium on High Performance Computing (TCHPC)
November 19, 2021, St. Louis, MO, USA
(Virtual Event)
<http://www.csm.ornl.gov/srt/conferences/Scala/2021>
Novel scalable scientific algorithms are needed in order to enable key
science applications to exploit the computational power of large-scale
systems. This is especially true for the current tier of leading petascale
machines and the road to exascale computing as HPC systems continue to scale
up in compute node and processor core count. These extreme-scale systems
require novel scientific algorithms to hide network and memory latency, have
very high computation/communication overlap, have minimal communication, and
have no synchronization points. With the advent of Big Data and AI in the
past few years the need of such scalable mathematical methods and algorithms
able to handle data and compute intensive applications at scale becomes even
more important.
Scientific algorithms for multi-petaflop and exa-flop systems also need to be
fault tolerant and fault resilient, since the probability of faults increases
with scale. Resilience at the system software and at the algorithmic level is
needed as a crosscutting effort. Finally, with the advent of heterogeneous
compute nodes that employ standard processors as well as GPGPUs, scientific
algorithms need to match these architectures to extract the most performance.
This includes different system-specific levels of parallelism as well as
co-scheduling of computation. Key science applications require novel
mathematical models and system software that address the scalability and
resilience challenges of current- and future-generation extreme-scale HPC
systems.
