Trends in computer-based medical systems

The 25th IEEE International Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems, held June 20--22, 2012 in Rome, Italy, has been a forum for discussing the latest developments in the field of computational medicine, biomedical informatics, and related disciplines. The Symposium has covered a broad range of issues in several areas with accepted submissions gathered into one general track, addressing general questions of computational biomedicine, and twelve special tracks, each focused on a particular related sub-theme. Three keynote speakers have presented an overview of recent research and developments in their particular subareas of mining clinical data for biomedical research, multivariate and multiscale analysis of biomedical signals, and oncology image analysis.
