[vtkusers] ICCEBS 2013 - Announce & Invitation

[João Manuel R. S. Tavares]

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;
