The 21th IEEE International Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems

The 21th IEEE International Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems (CBMS 2008) will be held on June 17-19, 2008 at University of Jyväskylä, Finland. CBMS 2008 is held in cooperation with the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP), and is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society (Technical Committee on Computational Medicine, TCCM) and the Department of Computer Science and Information Systems, University of Jyväskylä.

CBMS 2008 is intended to provide an international forum for discussing the latest results in the field of computational medicine. The scientific program of CBMS 2008 will consist of invited keynote talks given by leading scientists in the field, and regular and special tracks sessions that cover a broad array of issues which relate computing to medicine.

During the last decade, CBMS symposiums were held in different countries and locations including Maribor, Slovenia (2007, 2002, and 1997), Salt Lake City, USA (2006), Dublin (2005), Bethesda MD, USA (2004 and 2001), New York City, USA (2003), Houston TX, USA (2000), Stamford CT, USA (1999), and Lubbock TX, USA (1998).

The 21th IEEE International Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems will be held at Agora - a cooperative network for multi-disciplinary research situated in central Finland in the city of Jyväskylä. Being an integral part of the University of Jyväskylä, Agora is positioned as "a meeting place for humanity and technology" (in Greek, Agora means a market or a meeting place), and emphasizes a multi-disciplinary, human-centered approach to information technology and to the future knowledge society, where research, education and enterprise are integrated into one functional whole.
