BMS 2012 - 8th IFAC Symposium on Biological and Medical Systems

The Symposium will provide a forum for the presentation of new developments in the important interdisciplinary field of biomedical systems involving the application of concepts, methods and techniques of modelling, informatics and control of complex biomedical systems.
The Symposium will address problems in biomedicine, physiology and biology relating to:

model formulation, experiment design, identification and validation, biosignals analysis and interpretation,
developments in measurement, signal processing,
tracer kinetic modeling using various imaging systems,
biomedical system modeling, simulation and visualization,
decision support and control.
Application areas will include:

celluar, metabolic, cardiovascular, neurosystems,
healthcare management, disease control, critical care,
pharmacokinetics and drug delivery,
decision support systems for the control of physiological and clinical variables,
biomedical imaging systems,
intensive and chronic therapy,
control of voluntary movements, respiration,
rehabilitation engineering and healthcare delivery,
kinetic modelling and control of biological systems and artificial organs,
quantificaiton of physiological parametes for diagnosis assessment.
Any other contribution to the development of modelling and control in biomedical and biological systems will be welcomed.
