IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation 2012
Call For Papers: Special Session on Applications of Evolutionary Computation in Biomedical Engineering
Introduction to the Special Session
Biomedical Engineering aims to apply engineering principles to biomedical systems. A biomedical system may be very broadly defined as any engineered device or apparatus that interacts with a biological entity to achieve a medical purpose. This is a fast-growing research area which is throwing up many complex problems as researchers grapple with the need to model complex systems and interpret massive biomedical datasets.
In this session, we invite contributions from researchers who have applied techniques in evolutionary computation to real-world problems in biomedical engineering.
Techniques:
Techniques may come from the whole range of evolutionary computing, including (but not limited to):
· Genetic Algorithms
· Evolution Strategies
· Particle Swarm Optimisation
· Differential Evolution
· Ant Colony Optimisation
· Estimation of Distribution Algorithms
· Hybrids with other approaches
Application Areas:
Application areas include but are not limited to:
· Medical diagnostic systems
· Theranostics
· Medical imaging
· Advanced prosthetics
· Biosensors
· Telemedicine
· Treatment or medical equipment design and optimisation
Submission: Papers should be submitted through the conference website at http://www.ieee-wcci2012.org/ieee-wcci2012/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=58&Itemid=67
Please indicate the special session when asked for the paper topic.
Deadline: The (extended0 deadline for paper submissions is: 18 January 2012
