--- CALL FOR PAPERS TRACKS --- DEADLINE EXTENDED TO FEBRUARY 10, 2012

CBMS2012 will be held on 20-22 June 2012 at the University Campus Bio-Medico
of Rome, Italy. It is technically sponsored by the IEEE, the Italian Chapter of
the IAPR (GIRPR), the Italian Chapters of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and
Biology Society, the Italian Chapters of the IEEE Computer Society, and the
University Campus Bio-Medico of Rome.
CBMS 2012 will provide an international forum for discussing the latest
developments in the field of computational medicine, biomedical informatics
and related fields. The conference is part of the Bioengineering Week,
an exciting week totally dedicated to bioengineering research, featuring a
unique concentration of several scientific, cultural and educational events,
mostly taking place in Rome (www.bioengweek2012.org).
The scientific program of CBMS 2012 will consist of regular and special track
sessions with technical contributions reviewed and selected by an international
programme committee, as well as keynote talks and tutorials given by
leading experts in their fields. The symposium is the premier conference
for computational medicine, providing a mechanism for the exchange of
ideas and technologies between academics and industrial scientists, and
attracts a worldwide audience. Regular and special track presentations
will cover a broad range of issues in (but not limited to) the following areas:
RELEVANT TOPICS (NON-EXHAUSTIVE LIST)
? Software Systems in Medicine
? Network and Telemedicine Systems
? Web-Based Delivery of Medical Information

The Italian Chapter of the IAPR (International Association for Pattern Recognition) offers
a prize to a young researcher in memory of prof. Ezio Catanzariti. The prize will consist
of 500 ? and a plaque.
Best papers will be invited to submit extended versions for Special Issues of the following:
Journal of Behaviour and Information Technology (Taylor & Francis), Journal of Computers and
Biology in Medicine (Elsevier), or Transactions on Information Technology in Biomedicine (IEEE).
