Тhe 7th International Joint Conference on Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies (BIOSTEC 2014 - http://www.biostec.org) steering committee cordially invites you to submit a paper to the BIOSTEC 2014 Conference, to be held in Angers, France.
The deadline for paper submission is scheduled for September 19, 2013.
The purpose of BIOSTEC is to bring together researchers and practitioners, including engineers, biologists, health professionals and informatics/computer scientists, interested in both theoretical advances and applications of information systems, artificial intelligence, signal processing, electronics and other engineering tools in knowledge areas related to biology and medicine.
BIOSTEC is composed of five co-located conferences, each specialized in at least one of the aforementioned main knowledge areas:
- BIODEVICES - International Conference on Biomedical Electronics and Devices (http://www.biodevices.biostec.org/)
- BIOIMAGING  - International Conference on Bioimaging (http://www.bioimaging.biostec.org/)
- BIOINFORMATICS - International Conference on Bioinformatics Models, Methods and Algorithms (http://www.bioinformatics.biostec.org/)
- BIOSIGNALS  - International Conference on Bio-inspired Systems and Signal Processing (http://www.biosignals.biostec.org/)
- HEALTHINF - International Conference on Health Informatics (http://www.healthinf.biostec.org/)
Registration to one conference allows free access to all other BIOSTEC conferences.
BIOSTEC is interested in promoting high quality research as it can be confirmed by last year acceptance rates, where from 392 submissions, 14% were accepted as full papers. Additionally, 25% were presented as short papers and 22% as posters.
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, on paper and on CD-ROM support. A short list of presented papers will be selected so that revised and extended versions of these papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in a CCIS Series book.
The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP and EI (Elsevier Index). All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the
SCITEPRESS Digital Library (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/). SCITEPRESS is member of CrossRef (http://www.crossref.org/).
We would like to highlight the Doctoral Consortium on Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies that will take place in conjunction with BIOSTEC and aims to provide an opportunity for graduate students to explore their research interests in an interdisciplinary workshop, under the guidance of a panel of distinguished experts in the field (http://www.biostec.org/DoctoralConsortium.aspx).
Workshops, Special sessions, Tutorials as well as Demonstrations dedicated to other technical/scientific topics are also envisaged: companies interested in presenting their  products/methodologies or researchers interested in holding a tutorial are invited to contact the conference secretariat. Workshop chairs and Special Session chairs will benefit from logistics support and other types of support, including secretariat and financial support, to facilitate the development of a valid idea.
We hope to welcome you in Angers, France next March, 2014!
