LAST CHANCE TO REGISTER AT THE LOWER RATES! NORMAL REGISTRATION CLOSES
ON JUNE 19TH!

CBMS 2011, the 24th International Symposium on Computer-Based Medical
Systems (http://www.cbms2011.org) sponsored by the IEEE, ACM, IFIP and
the BCS will be held at the University of the West of England, Bristol
(Frenchay Campus), from June 27th to 30th 2011. The conference will
provide an international forum for discussing the latest developments
in the field of computational medicine, biomedical informatics and
related fields. There will be regular and special track sessions with
technical contributions reviewed and selected by an international
programme committee, as well as keynote talks and tutorials given by
leading experts in their fields.

On the first day of the conference, we are fortunate to have two
keynote speakers long associated with HealthGrid conferences;
Professor Richard Sinnott from Melbourne and Dr Vincent Breton from
the Institut des Grilles of the CNRS in France. Vincent is this year's
Jean-Claude Healy lecturer. The conference continues on Tuesday
morning with Mary Kratz from the University of Michigan and PEPFAR,
the US President's Programme for AIDS Relief, and at the end of the
afternoon a sponsored HealthGrid keynote by Steve Brewer of the EGI.
The after-dinner speaker on Tuesday evening will be Professor Peter
Barham of Bristol University.
On Wednesday, the day begins with a keynote by Professor Harold
Thimbleby, Swansea, whose research on usability has shed new light on
"medical errors". Finally, two medical experts, Professor Iain Buchan,
University of Manchester, and Professor Frances Griffiths, University
of Warwick, bring their own deep and very distinct interdisciplinary
understanding of issues facing modern medicine and healthcare
provision.

The symposium is the premier conference for computational medicine,
providing a mechanism for the exchange of ideas and technologies
between academics and industrial scientists, and attracts a worldwide
audience. Registration will include free access to all sessions from
the co-located HealthGrid 2011 conference.

The following Special Tracks will present oral and poster
presentations:
1. Computational Proteomics and Genomics
2. Knowledge Discovery and Decision Systems in Biomedicine
3. Technology Enhanced Learning in Medical Education
4. Intelligent Patient Management
5. Data Streams in Healthcare
6. Supporting Collaboration in Healthcare
7. Biomedical Image Processing and Informatics
8. Medical Robotics
9. Assistive Technologies
10. Ontologies for Biomedical Systems

Main track sessions will cover Communication and Interfaces in
Healthcare, Guidelines, the Organisation of Healthcare, Signals and
Visualisation.

Workshops will be held on a range of topics, including:
• Health Level Seven (HL7) and Related Standards
• Cloud Computing in Biomedicine & Healthcare
• Ontologies in Biomedical Informatics
• Visualization in Medicine
• Student workshops on Ethics, Presentation, Post-doctoral Funding,
etc.

More details about the papers being presented and the packed programme
of sessions, tutorials, workshops and panels can be seen on the
