Announcing the AI-MEDICINE mailing list (current subscribers please ignore) ai-medicine is an unmoderated mailing list serving internet and bitnet domains since Sept., 1990. Current readership consists mainly of computer scientists and engineers with interest in biomedical and clinical research, and of physicians with interest in medical informatics and artificial intelligence. AI in Medicine is a broad subject area which encompasses almost all research areas in artificial intelligence. For the purposes of this mailing list, AI in Medicine may be defined as "computed-based medical decision support" (or "computer-assisted medical decision making"). This definition may be expanded to include AI-based approaches to computer-assisted medical instruction. According to this definition, topics such as billing systems and hospital/medical office information retrieval systems clearly remain outside the scope of this forum. A moderated version of the list, in digest format, is also available on request. Requests for subscription should be sent to: ai-medicine-REQUEST@vuse.vanderbilt.edu List coordinator: serdar@vuse.vanderbilt.edu (Serdar Uckun, MD) --
