In cooperation with:

AAAI (Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence)

The purpose of the International Conference on Bio-inspired Systems and
Signal Processing is to bring together researchers and practitioners from
multiple areas of knowledge, including biology, medicine, engineering and
other physical sciences, interested in studying and using models and
techniques inspired from or applied to biological systems. A diversity of
signal types can be found in this area, including image, audio and other
biological sources of information. The analysis and use of these signals is
a multidisciplinary area including signal processing, pattern recognition
and computational intelligence techniques, amongst others.

BIOSIGNALS encourages authors to submit papers to one of the main topics
indicated below, describing original work, including methods, techniques,
advanced prototypes, applications, systems, tools or survey papers,
reporting research results and/or indicating future directions. Accepted
papers will be presented at the conference by one of the authors and
published in the proceedings. Acceptance will be based on quality, relevance
and originality. There will be both oral and poster sessions.

The proceedings will be indexed by several major international indexers.

Special sessions are also welcome. Please contact the secretariat for
further information on how to propose a special session. 

BIOSIGNALS 2012 is part of the International Joint Conference on Biomedical
Engineering Systems and Tecnologies (BIOSTEC 2012) that has 3 more
conferences with very strong synergies between them, namely:

- BIODEVICES: International Conference on Biomedical Electronics and Devices
(http://www.biodevices.biostec.org)

- BIOINFORMATICS: International Conference on Bioinformatics Models, Methods
and Algorithms (http://www.bioinformatics.biostec.org)

- HEALTHINF: International Conference on Health Informatics
(http://www.healthinf.biostec.org/)

These four concurrent conferences are held in parallel and registration to
one warrants delegates to attend all four.
