Call for Papers
Scope
Soft-Computing based methods are receiving a very important attention in the last decades on their application to a large variety of problems in biomedicine and bioengineering. From the prediction and study of diseases from the patients’ characteristics, passing through the study and prediction of molecular interactions and DNA analysis, or the estimation and study of biomaterials properties, the range of applicability of Soft-Computing techniques is really wide. All these research efforts, together with other applied techniques in bioengineering, combine themselves towards the common aim of the design and improvement of the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and the improvement of man’s health in general.
This special session intends to be a presentation meeting for new research lines on Soft-Computing (fuzzy logic based systems, neural networks, evolutionary approaches and other bio-inspired methods, statistical methods, among others), remarking the advantages that these techniques offer with respect to uncertainty and imprecision treatment, effectiveness and interpretability, in their application to biomedicine and bioengineering.
Topics
This special sessions covers the application of Soft-Computing approaches to the following areas (not restrictive):
- Biomedical applications
- Biomaterial applications
- Bio-modeling
- Genomics and proteomics
- Bioengineering applications
- Tissue engineering applications
- BCI applications
Paper Submission
All papers are to be submitted electronically through the ISDA 2011 website. Authors should carefully follow the instructions given there. Submitted papers will be peer reviewed by at least two anonymous reviewers.
