Recently, our group leader, Florentino Fdez-Riverola was invited to belong to the Editorial Board of Inteligencia Artificial Journal (ISSN 1988-3064) - http://journal.iberamia.org/. Inteligencia Artificial is a quarterly journal, now promoted, sponsored and edited by the IberoAmerican society on Artificial Intelligence (IBERAMIA).

The journal publishes high-quality, original, research papers reporting theoretical or applied advances in all branches of Artificial Intelligence. In addition to rapid publication and dissemination of unsolicited contributions, The journal is also committed to producing monographs and special issues on topics of special relevance to the AI community.

Inteligencia Artificial Journal is indexed at SCImago Journal Rank/Scopus, DBLP, Latindex, CrossRef, E-revistas, DIALNET, RECYT, among several other indexes and is a reference at search engines.

Our group leader, Florentino Fdez-Riverola has been recently invited by R. Roy (Editor-in-Chief) to join the Editorial Board of ASOC, the Official Journal of the World Federation on Soft Computing (WFSC).

Applied Soft Computing, published by Elsevier, is an international journal promoting an integrated view of soft computing to solve real life problems. Soft computing is a collection of methodologies, which aim to exploit tolerance for imprecision, uncertainty and partial truth to achieve tractability, robustness and low solution cost. The focus is to publish the highest quality research in application and convergence of the areas of Fuzzy Logic, Neural Networks, Evolutionary Computing, Rough Sets and other similar techniques to address real world complexities.

Un grupo investigador del Campus colabora con el CHUO y espera obtener resultados en 2013. El grupo de Sistemas Informáticos de Nueva Generación (Sing) de la Escuela Superior de Ingeniería Informática del Campus avanza en un proyecto de detección y clasificación automática de infecciones nosocomiales, que son aquéllas contraídas en ambientes hospitalarios pero no relacionadas con el motivo del ingreso. Para ello, el equipo liderado por Florentino Fernández Riverola desarrolla un sistema que permite clasificar los síntomas y agrupar los distintos subgrupos de infección. El trabajo, financiado por la Xunta, se lleva a cabo en colaboración con el Complexo Hospitalario de Ourense hasta el año 2013.

El objetivo de las Jornadas será dar a conocer la investigación biomédica realizada en la provincia de Ourense, con el propósito de estimular la colaboración entre investigadores del ámbito sanitario y universitario.

Contara con las ponencias del Dr. Ángel Carracedo Álvarez- Catedrático de Medicina Legal de la USC, Director del Instituto de Medicina Forense y de la Fundación Genómica de Galicia, y del Dr. Carlos Diéguez González – Catedrático de Fisiología de la USC. En el desarrollo de la Jornada, tres mesas redondas sobre resultados de investigación, recursos y proyectos, completarán el programa.

En el programa contiene las normas de envío para la presentación de comunicaciones oral o póster (1.resultados de investigación y 2.proyectos de investigación). Se aceptarán aquellos trabajos en los que al menos un investigador de Ourense, figure como autor.

Fecha y Lugar: 14  Marzo - 2012, Ourense. España.

The first issue of the Journal of Integrated OMICS - A methodological Journal have now been launched! Members of the SING group are part of the Editorial Board and Florentino Fdez-Riverola (our head researcher) is one of the Editors in-chief.

Journal of Integrated OMICS, JIO, provides a forum for the publication of original research papers, preliminary communications, technical notes and critical reviews in all branches of pure and applied "-omics", such as genomics, proteomics, lipidomics, metabolomics or metallomics.

Please, take a look at its contents at: 

The Next Generation Computer Systems Group (SING, Sistemas Informáticos de Nueva Generación) brings together a reduced number of researches with the aim of developing intelligent models and deploying them in real environments. The projects carried out by the SING group always follow a practical point of view, but taking into consideration the formal aspects needed in any research work.

The expertise of the members comes from different areas related with previous research in developing symbolic, connexionistic and hybrid AI systems. By applying techniques and methodologies coming from the Case-Based Reasoning, Machine Learning, Big Data and Data Mining fields, the SING group deploys advanced Decision Support Systems in many different areas, including Translational and Personalized medicine, Bioinformatics, Biomedical text-mining, Spam filtering, among others, in the form of desktop applications, web applications and/or services or multi-agent systems.
