What it is: General Description
CBMS 2006 is intended to provide an international forum for
discussing the latest results in the field of computational medicine. The
symposium is dedicated to a broad array of
issues which relate computing
to medicine. It consists of both regular and special track
sessions with technical contributions reviewed and selected by an
international program committee, as well as invited talks given by
leading scientists.
See below for a list of relevant
topics. For a brief history of the conference (including links to
available web resources), see "Where it's
Been Before" on the "Where" page.
What Topics are Relevant: Topics and Special Tracks
CBMS 2006 will accept papers on a number of different general topics;
paper authors may also submit their work to one of a number of
different special tracks, reviewed by various Special Track Chairs. A
special track consists of the presentation of several papers in a
medical informatics sub discipline or a special field, refereed by
researchers and practitioners in the field.
