Call for Paper: BIOSTEC 2009

Dir Sir:

We would like to draw your attention to the International Conference on Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies (BIOSTEC 2009), which has currently an open call for papers.

BIOSTEC will be held in Porto (Portugal) next year, on January 14-17, and it aims to be a top reference in its area (http://www.biostec.org). BIOSTEC is organized by INSTICC with technical co-sponsorship by the WfMC.

This meeting will take place yearly, bringing together top researchers and practitioners in several areas of Biomedical Engineering, especially those related to Information and Communication Technologies.

The three main topic areas have been defined as sub-conferences of BIOSTEC, 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)

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, DBLP and ISI Proceedings*SM.

Additionaly, a selection of the best papers of the conference may be published in a book, by Springer. Best paper awards will be distributed during the conference.

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,

Marina Carvalho
