For several years, BioCAS has created an interdisciplinary bonding of scientists, engineers, medical researchers, and practitioners to share in the explosion of research activities in the areas of life sciences, physical sciences and engineering with application to medical problems. IEEE BioCAS 2011 will continue to enable and encourage the inter-disciplinary collaborations that will create innovative solutions for today's health problems and bridge new pathways at the frontiers of Biomedical Engineering. Building on the global demand for portable healthcare devices and the proliferation of microsensor technology, the theme of the IEEE BioCAS 2011 conference will be Engineering Tomorrow’s Healthcare.

This truly multidisciplinary conference attracts a mixture of academic and industry experts through a combination of insightful tutorials, inspiring keynote addresses, and stimulating technical sessions. The tutorials will be presented by experts outside the standard Circuits & Systems (CAS) community and geared towards medical applications and next-generation biomedical technologies. This unique combination of activities will enable members of the CAS community to broaden their insight into emerging medical applications and technologies while also demonstrating the latest capabilities of CAS platforms to medical experts. We hope that you will join us in San Diego to help solve complex real world problems and establish new challenges for the Circuits & Systems Society.

Venue: BioCAS 2011 will be held Nov 10 – 12 at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines, 15 miles from the San Diego International Airport and minutes away from the University of California, San Diego.

Topic Areas: The IEEE BioCAS 2011 Conference will cover a wide range of biomedical topics including:

Wireless, Wearable, and Implantable/Injectable Technology
Medical Information and Telecare Systems
Harvesting/Scavenging Energy for Biomedical Devices
Biometrics, Biomedical Signal Processing and Bioimaging Technology
Integrated Biomedical Systems, BioMEMS, Bio-sensors/actuators & Lab-on-chip
Bio-inspired & Biomolecular Circuits & Systems
Circuits for Biomedical Systems
The complete 4-page paper (in standard IEEE double-column format), including title, authors’ names, affiliations and e-mail addresses, and a short abstract are requested. Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format through www.biocas2011.org. Only electronic submissions will be accepted. IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Circuits and Systems will publish a Special Issue on the BioCAS 2011 Conference. Extended versions of the best papers, based on both review scores and oral/poster presentation evaluations, will be invited for the Special Issue.

New this year: BioCAS 2011 will incorporate the popular Demonstration Session originated in the IEEE ISCAS conference. Details coming soon. Get your demos ready!
