CBMS'90
CALL FOR PAPERS
The Third IEEE Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems
June 3-5, 1990
The Carolina Inn, Chapel Hill, NC
Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society and the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and
Biology Society; in cooperation with the University of North Carolina, North
Carolina State University, Duke University, the Research Triangle Institute;
with contributions by the Microelectronics Center of North Carolina and the N.
C. Biotechnology Center
The Symposium
The Symposium is intended for engineers and computer scientists from academia
and industry who are designing and developing Computer-Based Medical Systems
(CBMS). Reports about applications in progress are encouraged. The Symposium
provides an excellent opportunity for government regulators to interact with the
medical device industry. Medical residents, biomedical engineering and computer
science students who are working on medical computing projects are especially
encouraged to submit papers describing their work.
The Program
CBMS combines papers, presentations, discussions, and panels. Both
contributed and invited papers will be presented assuring an excellent and
balanced program. All papers that are accepted and meet the publication
deadline will be included in the Symposium Proceedings. Seven tracks related to
Computer-Based Medical Systems are planned:
Clinical Assessment and Risk Evaluation: real-time signal
processing, database systems
Medical Device Reliability and Safety: fault-tolerance, device
testing, validation, software safety
Communications and Image Processing: networking, compression,
enhancement, modeling, simulation, PACS
Health Effects and Risk Assessment of Environmental Agents: data
management, assessment methods, exposure studies, simulation
Cardiovascular Technologies: monitoring, imaging, bioimpedance
measurements, microcomputer applications
Artifical Intelligence & Neural Networks: theory, implementations,
speech recognition, applications
Communications Aids for Disabled People: environmental control,
word processing, hearing impaired, vision impaired, standards
Poster sessions, software demonstrations, and a tutorials program are also
planned. Contributions to these parts of the program are also sought.
