and Biomedical Engineering
November 5-8, 2000
Washington, DC area
Sponsored by :
IEEE Computer Society
and

Scope of the BIBE Symposium
The Bio-Informatic and Biomedical Engineering are very important and very
active research areas that offer promising solutions to complex medical
and biological problems as well as practical applications to other
professions in industry and government. These areas have rapidly increasing
impact on our society (important health issues) and commercial applications
(drugs development, prosthetics, etc). In response to this demand, a number
of related periodicals have been published worldwide. Not one of these,
however, deals exclusively with the biomedical engineering and
bio-computational evolution and biological analysis of living systems and
the interaction between artificial and living systems. Both Bio-Informatic
and Biomedical Engineering advance fundamental concepts, create knowledge
from molecular to the organ and living organism levels, and develop
innovative biologics, materials, processes, implants, devices,
software-hardware tools and methods for prevention, detection, monitoring,
signaling, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases; for patients
rehabilitation; for improving health; for development of new bio-computing
systems, genome research for developing of new drugs and the
interpretation of complex biological processes.
The BIBE Symposium provides a unique opportunity to researchers, scientists
and practitioners to shape knowledge and scientific achievements by
bridging two very important research fields, Bio-Informatic and Biomedical
Engineering, into an interactive and attractive forum.
A list of topics (but not limited) are presented bellow:
FUSING ARTIFICIAL DEVICES IN BIOLOGICAL AND LIVING SYSTEMS
NATURAL LANGUAGES UNDERSTANDING IN BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS
LEARNING IN ARTIFICIAL AND BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS
PERCEPTION IN ARTIFICIAL AND BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS
ENGINEERING MODELS IN BIOMEDICINE
BIOLOGICAL MODELS AND SYSTEMS
ROBOTICS IN BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING
COMPUTING IN BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS
GENETIC AND EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTING
DNA AND GENOME DATABASES
BIO-INFORMATIC AND BIOMEDICINE TECHNOLOGIES
BIOMEDICAL IMAGING AND SIGNALING
BODY'S AND CELLS BIOSIGNATURES
TISSUE ENGINEERING
