    MISSION: 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Health - AI4Health 2018
    - aims at bringing together researchers from academia, industry,
    government, and medical centers in order to present the state of the
    art and discuss the latest advances in the emerging area of the use
    of Artificial Intelligence and Soft Computing techniques in the
    fields of medicine, health care and wellbeing. AI4Health is expected
    to cover the whole range of theoretical and practical aspects,
    technologies and systems related to the application of artificial
    intelligence and soft computing methodologies to issues as machine
    learning, deep learning, knowledge discovery, decision support,
    regression, forecasting, optimization, and feature selection in the
    healthcare and wellbeing domain.
