Techniques Message-Id: <20000217221620.A885317ADB@mercury.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk> Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2000 22:16:20 +0000 (GMT) Sender: owner-bphyssoc@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk Precedence: bulk The METMBS'2000 Conference will be held concurrently (i.e., same location and dates) with the International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Processing Techniques and Applications (PDPTA'2000), the International Conference on Imaging Science, Systems, and Technology (CISST) and the International Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IC-AI). You are invited to submit a draft paper of about 4 pages and/or a proposal to organize a technical session (see below for submission information). All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. THE NAMES OF TECHNICAL SESSION CHAIRS WILL APPEAR AS ASSOCIATE EDITORS ON THE COVER OF THE CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS. SCOPE Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: o Bioinformatics: This includes informatics techniques in genomics gene sequencing, gene pattern discovery, gene pattern-function studies, and other genomics related studies). o Data mining in medicine and biological sciences. o Pattern recognition in medicine and biological sciences. o Signal processing in medicine and biological sciences (e.g. biomedical signal processing, etc.) o Image processing in medicine and biological sciences (e.g. biomedical image processing, biomedical imaging, etc.) o Medical decision-making. o Medical Physics. o Biomedical Engineering. o Biomedical Electronics. o Biosignal interpretation. o Any application of computers in Medicine and biological sciences (protein structure-function analysis, drug and protein design, molecular modeling and simulation, etc.) o Application of information technology in biomedicine (e.g. medical database management, information retrieval and use of computers in hospitals) o Application of Computational Intelligence (artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic, and evolutionary computing) in medicine and biological sciences o Medical and bio-computing. o Computer-based medical systems (automation in medicine, etc.) o Recent history (1990-1999) of Mathematics and engineering techniques in medicine and biological sciences, and what to expect during the next decade (2000-2009); New horizons. Review articles) o Other aspects and applications relating to technological advancements in medicine and biological sciences. For more information, visit: http://www.cns.bu.edu/metmbs/ --- .
