Dear Colleague, We are pleased to announce the International Conference on Computational and Experimental Biomedical Sciences (ICCEBS2013 - www.fe.up.pt/~iccebs) in Ponta Delgada, S Miguel Island, Azores, October 20-22, 2013. The use of more robust, affordable and efficient techniques and technologies with application in Biomedical Sciences is presently a subject of huge interest and demand, and ICCEBS is intended to be a privileged discussion forum to define their key stakeholders. ICCEBS will bring together researchers from around the world representing several scientific fields related to Biomedical Sciences, including Engineering, Medicine, Biomechanics, Bioengineering, Biomaterials, Experimental Mechanics, Computer Sciences, Computational Mathematics, Hardware Developers and Manufactures, Electronic and Instrumentation and Materials Science. TOPICS
In ICCEBS2013 will be considered topics of (not limited to): - Analysis and diagnosis; - Applications in medicine; - Applications in veterinary; - Artificial organs; - Bioengineering; - Biofluid; - Biological microelectromechanical systems, Labs-on-chips and Life-chips; - Biomaterials; - Biomedical devices; - Computational bio- imaging and visualization; - Computational methods; - Computer aided diagnosis; - Computer assisted surgery; - Experimental mechanics; - Implantology; - Medical robotics; - Minimally invasive devices and techniques; - Molecular and Cellular Biomechanics; - Numeral methods; - Prosthesis and orthosis; - Rehabilitation; - ImagingSignal processing and analysis; - Simulation; - Software development; - Sustainability; - Technical aids; - Telemedicine; - Tissue engineering; - Virtual reality. Due to your very interesting and key research activities, we would like to invite you to participate in ICCEBS2013 and share your expertize. Your contribution is welcomed, and we would be honored if you could accept this invitation. INVITED KEYNOTES “The Biomechanics Detective & Clues to Expensive Unintentional Injuries” James A.
