CBMS 2012 will be held on 20-22 June 2012 at the University Campus Bio-Medico of Rome, Italy. It is technically sponsored by the IEEE, the Italian Chapter of the IAPR (GIRPR), the Italian Chapters of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, the Italian Chapters of the IEEE Computer Society, and the University Campus Bio-Medico of Rome.

CBMS 2012 will provide an international forum for discussing the latest developments in the field of computational medicine, biomedical informatics and related fields. The conference is part of the Bioengineering Week, an exciting week totally dedicated to bioengineering research, featuring a unique concentration of several scientific, cultural and educational events, mostly taking place in Rome (www.bioengweek2012.org).
The scientific program of CBMS 2012 will consist of 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. 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. Regular and special track presentations will cover a broad range of issues in (but not limited to) the following areas:
