Special Issue on Biomedical Monitoring Technologies: Selected Papers from the 12th IEEE International Conference on Biolnformatics and BioEngineering (BIBE 2012) and the 8th International Symposium on Advanced Topics in Electrical Engineering (ATEE 2013), Part 1

摘要

This is the first part of two special issues based on a selected number of papers presented at the 12th IEEE International Conference on BioInformatics and BioEngineering (BIBE 2012), Nov. 11-13, 2012, Cyprus (http://bibe2012.cs.ucy. ac.cy/) and the 8th International Symposium on Advanced Topics in Electrical Engineering (ATEE 2013), May 23-25, 2013, Romania (www.atee.upb.ro). BIBE was organized and sponsored by IEEE, the IEEE Computer Society, the University of Cyprus and the Biological & AI Foundation (BAIF), co-organized and cosponsored by the Frederick University, Cyprus, the Hellenic Society for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (HSCBB), and the Technical University of Cyprus, Cyprus. BIBE 2012 was technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (IEEE EMBS) and the International Federation for Medical and Biological Engineering (IFMBE). It was supported by the IEEE EMBS Cyprus Chapter, the IEEE CIS Cyprus Chapter, the IEEE Cyprus Section, the Cyprus Society of Medical Informatics, and the Cyprus Association of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering. Additional support was also given by the Cyprus Tourism Organization. The overall objective of BIBE 2012 was to cover the state of the art in Information Technology Applications in Biomedicine, under the theme. In total, 134 papers authored by 460 scientists were presented at BIBE 2012, with 31 papers on Bioinformatics, 86 on Bioengineering, and 17 on the special session on computational solutions to large-scale data management and analysis in translational and personalized medicine.
