Conference:Dental Informatics and Dental Research

描述：(由申请者提供)信息学对于实现 21世纪生物医学研究、实践和教育的进展。AS 我们过渡到一个信息化的社会，牙科和 完成其使命的颅面研究越来越多地基于其 能够利用信息学的进步来开展其核心活动。 信息学必须成为牙科和医疗卫生组织不可或缺的组成部分 颅面研究。在这种背景下，信息学不仅必须被理解 作为新的、实用的计算应用程序的来源，也是 科学探究本身就是如此。牙科信息学面临两个关键问题 挑战。第一个是将自己与全球 牙科和颅面研究的研究议程。牙科信息学必须 支持牙科和颅面研究的目标，如 在国家牙科和颅面研究所的使命中阐述 并被列入美国牙科协会的研究议程。 因此，第二个挑战是界定与之密切相关的研究问题 为了做到这一点，牙科信息学应该解决的问题。的目标 这次会议将为牙科和颅面研究人员提供一个论坛， 牙科信息学研究人员和医学信息学研究人员到1) 确定牙科和颅面部之间的整合和合作领域 研究和牙科信息学，以及2)定义研究挑战和 牙科信息学的前沿。 本次仅限受邀参加的工作会议计划为期两天。 2003年春天，在华盛顿特区地区的一段时间。出席者将会来 来自医学和牙科信息学、牙科和颅面 研究、美国国立卫生研究院和企业界。向更多的人开放会议 全球观众，我们打算通过同步网络播放演示文稿 地点。远程参与者将能够通过聊天和电子邮件进行互动。这个 会议之前将进行密集的筹备阶段，包括 会议网站、背景文件、定期更新电子邮件以邀请和 其他与会者，以及关于会议主题和 问题。这次会议将对中国的经济和社会发展产生积极的激励作用。 进行牙科研究的效率和效果；规模和 合作项目的范围，特别是涉及信息学的项目； 分享研究和开发方面的最佳做法；以及 研究成果转化为实践和教育。

DESCRIPTION: (provided by applicant) Informatics is crucial for enabling advances in biomedical research, practice and education in the 21st century. As we transition to an information-based society, the ability of dental and craniofacial research to achieve its mission is increasingly predicated on its ability to leverage advances in informatics for its core activities. Informatics must become an integral part of the fabric of dental and craniofacial research. In this context, informatics must be understood not only as a source of new, practical computing applications, but also as an area of scientific inquiry in its own right. Dental informatics faces two critical challenges. The first one is to connect itself intimately to the global research agenda of dental and craniofacial research. Dental informatics must support the goals of dental and craniofacial research, such as those articulated in the mission of the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research and in the research agenda of the American Dental Association. Consequently, the second challenge is to define the germane research problems that dental informatics should address in order to do so. The objectives of this conference are to provide a forum for dental and craniofacial researchers, dental informatics researchers, and medical informatics researchers to 1) identify areas of integration and cooperation between dental and craniofacial research and dental informatics, and 2) define research challenges and frontiers for dental informatics. This invitation only working conference is planned to take place over a two-day period in the Washington, DC, area in the spring of 2003. Attendees will come from the fields of medical and dental informatics, dental and craniofacial research, the NIH and the corporate sector. To open the conference to a more global audience, we intend to broadcast presentations through a synchronous Web site. Remote participants will be able to interact by chat and e-mail. The conference will be preceded by an intensive preparatory phase that includes a conference Web site, background papers, regular e-mail updates to invite and other participants, and electronic discussions about conference topics and issues. The conference will have positive and stimulating effects on the efficiency and efficacy with which dental research is conducted; the scale and scope of cooperative projects, especially those involving informatics; the sharing of best practices in research and development; and the transfer of research results into practice and education.
