Foreword
The International Congress on Computational Bioengineering is a congress series, which objective is to provide a forum for the discussion and the diffusion of the recent advances in Computational Bioengineering, promoting the interaction between sub-disciplines (e.g. imaging, biosignals, biomechanics, etc.) driving toward biomedical integrative research (e.g. physiome, virtual physiological human, systems biology), where predictive models describe disparate physiological or pathological sub-processes and are combined to obtain a more systemic understanding.
The congress is intended also as an opportunity for researchers from all over the world to establish collaborations regardless of the geopolitics barriers, detecting areas of cooperation, and promoting the development of partnerships for new research and educational actions in bioengineering.
Organisation
Each issue of the congress series is organised by local organising committee, selected through a public bid by the ICCB International Steering Committee (ICCB_ISC).
