The three main topic areas of BIOSTEC have been defined as sub-conferences in the following way:

- Health Informatics (http://www.healthinf.org)

- Biomedical Electronics and Devices (http://www.biodevices.org)

- Bio-inspired Systems and Signal Processing (http://www.biosignals.org)

BIOSTEC will be held in in Porto (Portugal) next year, on January 14 - 17. Paper submission deadline is scheduled for June 27. The conference program includes a number of Keynote Lectures to be delivered by distinguished world-class researchers, namely:

- Pier Luigi Emiliani, Institute of Applied Physics "Nello Carrara" (IFAC) of the Italian National Research Council (CNR), Italy

- Maciej Ogorzalek, Jagiellonian University, Poland

Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, in paper and in CD-ROM support. The proceedings will be indexed by several major international indexers, including INSPEC and DBLP. Additionaly, a selection of the best papers of the conference will be published in a book, by Springer-Verlag. Best paper awards will be distributed during the conference.

Further details can be found at the conference web site (http://www.biostec.org).

Workshops and special sessions are also invited. If you wish to propose a workshop or a special session, for example based on the results of a specific research project, please contact the secretariat.

Kind regards,
