OBJECTIVES The Yearbook of Medical Informatics is published annually by the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA) and contains a selection of recent excellent papers on medical informatics research (http://www.yearbook.uni-hd.de). The 2002 Yearbook of Medical Informatics took as its theme the topic of Medical Imaging Informatics. In this paper, we will summarize the contributions...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to identify publication output, and research areas, as well as descriptively and quantitatively characterize the field of medical informatics through publication trend analysis over a twenty year period (1987-2006). METHODS A bibliometric analysis of medical informatics citations indexed in Medline was performed using publication trends, journal frequen...

The modular approach as presented in this paper is a viable basis for teaching and assessing informatics in secondary schools. The complex relations between the general theory of science and informatics help to give the modular approach a valid scientific foundation. The subject matter is further elucidated by empirical data and research taking into consideration the learners’ point of view. A ...

In 2012, the AMIA Board of Directors issued a white paper which defined biomedical informatics 1 and noted that '…iden-tifying new competency areas on an ongoing basis is especially important for a field that is rapidly changing in both its inform-atics and its biomedical and health aspects.' With the advent of the new medical board certification in Clinical Informatics and our efforts to devel...

Context: Recognition of the importance of informatics to the practice of pathology has surged. Training residents in pathology informatics has been a daunting task for most residency programs in the United States because faculty often lacks experience and training resources. Nevertheless, developing resident competence in informatics is essential for the future of pathology as a specialty. Obje...

The contemporary wonder of sciences and engineering recently refocused on the starting point: how the brain processes internal and external information autonomously rather than imperatively as those of conventional computers? This paper explores the interplay and synergy of cognitive informatics, neural informatics, abstract intelligence, denotational mathematics, brain informatics, and computa...

Industrial informatics is a rapidly developing scientific field that deals with the knowledge-based automation of industrial design and manufacturing processes. In last decade, has been strongly influenced by rapid rise data-based technologies such as Data Science, Big Data, artificial intelligence. The goal this paper to provide literature review academic research analyzing extensive spectrum ...
