CALL FOR POSITION PAPERS: BIODEVICES 2015 - Int'l Conf. on Biomedical Electronics and Devices (Lisbon/Portugal)
The International Conference on Biomedical Electronics and Devices (BIODEVICES 2015 - http://www.biodevices.biostec.org/), to be held in Lisbon, Portugal (January 12 - 15, 2015) is now welcoming the submission of position papers whose deadline is scheduled for next September 30.
A position paper presents an arguable opinion about an issue. The goal of a position paper is to convince the audience that your opinion is valid and worth listening to, without the need to present completed research work and/or validated results. It is, nevertheless, important to support your argument with evidence to ensure the validity of your claims. A position paper may be a short report and discussion of ideas, facts, situations, methods, procedures or results of scientific research (bibliographic, experimental, theoretical, or other) focused on one of the conference topics. Please check further details about position papers submission at the conference website (http://www.biodevices.biostec.org/GuidelinesTemplates.aspx).
The conference will be sponsored by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication (INSTICC), held in cooperation with the EUROMICRO, International Society for Telemedicine & eHealth (ISfTeH) and Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) and with a technical co-sponsorship by the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES), European Society for Engineering and Medicine (ESEM) and IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (IEEE EMBS). INSTICC is Member of the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC), Object Management Group (OMG) and Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents (FIPA). Media Partner the BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making. The Logistics Partner is the Science and Technology Events (SCITEVENTS).
BIODEVICES is interested in promoting high quality research as it can be confirmed by last year acceptance rates, where from 76 submissions, 14% were presented as full papers.
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. It is planned to publish a short list of revised and extended versions of presented papers with Springer in a CCIS Series book (final approval pending).
The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP, EI (Elsevier Index) and Scopus.
All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SCITEPRESS Digital Library (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/). SCITEPRESS is a member of CrossRef (http://www.crossref.org/).
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.
This conference is part of the 8th International Joint Conference on Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies - BIOSTEC (http://www.biostec.org/) and it is co-located with four related conference, namely:
- BIOIMAGING - International Conference on Bioimaging (http://www.bioimaging.biostec.org/)
