Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a wonder in the world medical field, which has a history as long as five thousand years. At present, information technology has developed dramatically, which has a great impact on different scientific fields. It has been and being an important role in the development of TCM, in the various aspects of theory discovery, therapy methodology analysis, symptom detection, medical record collection and storage, prescription analysis, herbal drug design, and intelligent diagnosis. These technologies cover database, network, statistics, intelligent data analysis, data mining and knowledge discovery, signal processing, image analysis and pattern recognition. Researchers from different fields like TCM, biomedical engineering, computer science, automation, and electronics engineering have a pressing need for and benefits in the interdisciplinary exchange and discussion of ideas. We anticipate that our collaborations will shed light on research directions and provide the stimulus for creative breakthroughs.
