*It may not be too late to present:* If you are interested in presenting
please submit a title and short abstract (300 words max). Summarize what
you would like to present on the topic of Exploring Temporal Patterns in
Electronic Health Record Data, or provide pointers to papers and
screenshots. We welcome discussions of the use of visual approaches,
statistical methods, machine learning, etc. to study temporal patterns in
patient histories, where the goals may be to find common patterns, rare
events, or matches to a given patient etc. Topics might include data
cleaning, integration from multiple sources, coping with incomplete or
conflicting information, and presentation of result sets. If we receive too
many requests, we may ask you to bring a poster for presentation during the
breaks.
Submit to: Catherine Plaisant <plaisant at cs.umd.edu> as soon as possible and
preferably before *May 9, 2014*. Confirmation will be provided within a few
days of submission.  If the day is too full already, we will invite you to
bring a poster or give a demonstration during the break.
