BioMedical Task Group Objectives
Objectives The focus of biomedical Model Based Systems ranges from molecular biology to large scale physiological and medical systems relevant to health care. Interest for these systems comes from researchers in the biomedical and pharmaceutical industries and university-based biomedical and health-care research. This Task Group will therefore facilitate communication amongst researchers and industrialists with an interest in the application of Model Based Reasoning (MBR) to biomedical problems. They will aim to make current Model Based Reasoning technology available to the biomedical community and to healthcare industries. They will identify and clarify emerging biomedical problems for which MBR provides a potential solution and also identify and formulate strategies for effective use of MBR in biomedical research and development. Their overall target will be to elucidate the role of MBS & QR and its synergies with other approaches, in the solution of biomedical problems. Description of Work Task group members will interact regularly by means of 2 meetings per year and networked multimedia communications to: Discuss and clarify the interaction between biology, medicine and MBR (at macro and micro levels) Liase with the Bioinformatic and pharamaceutical industries to identify emerging problems Develop requirements for the use of MBR to biological and medical problems Develop an understanding of the place of MBS/QR as a tool to solve biomedical problems. Develop a roadmap for modelling of biomedical model-based systems Organise a workshop on the application of MBR to biomedical and to medical problems Deliverables B1 Domain Status Document (reporting the emerging problems, the requirements of the biomedical community and the interactions discerned between the two domains). B2-3 Biomedical Roadmap (outlining the projected developments of MBR in biomedical research and development and contributing to the MONET Roadmap). B4 Model Based Systems in BioMedical Workshop (with proceedings). B5 A Report on the role and synergies possible between MBS & QR and other approaches to the solution of biomedical problems.
