The International Conference on Bio-inspired Systems and Signal Processing (BIOSIGNALS 2013 - 

http://www.biosignals.biostec.org) steering committee cordially invites you to submit a paper to the BIOSIGNALS 2013 Conference, to be held in Barcelona, Spain. The deadline for paper submission is scheduled for July 20, 2012.

The purpose of the International Conference on Bio-inspired Systems and Signal Processing is to bring together researchers and practitioners from multiple areas of knowledge, including biology, medicine, engineering and other physical sciences, interested in studying and using models and techniques inspired from or applied to biological systems. A diversity of signal types can be found in this area, including image, audio and other biological sources of information. The analysis and use of these signals is a multidisciplinary area including signal processing, pattern recognition and computational intelligence techniques, amongst others. 

This conference is part of the International Joint Conference on Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies - BIOSTEC (http://www.biostec.org) and it is co-located with three related conferences, namely:
- Biomedical Electronics and Devices (http://www.biodevices.biostec.org)
- Bioinformatics Models, Methods and Algorithms (http://www.bioinformatics.biostec.org) 
- Health Informatics (http://www.healthinf.biostec.org)
Registration to one conference allows free access to all conferences.

Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All accepted papers (full, short and posters) will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM support. JHPZ
A short list of presented papers will be selected so that revised and extended versions of these papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in a CCIS Series book.

The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP and EI (Elsevier Index).
All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SciTePress Digital Library (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/). SciTePress is member of CrossRef (http://www.crossref.org/).

Best paper awards will be distributed during the conference closing session. Please check the website for further information (http://www.biosignals.biostec.org/BestPaperAward.aspx).


Workshops, Special Sessions, Tutorials as well as Demonstrations dedicated to other technical/scientific topics are also envisaged: companies interested in presenting their products/methodologies or researchers interested in holding a tutorial are invited to contact the conference secretariat. Workshop chairs and Special Session chairs will benefit from logistics support and other types of support, including secretariat and financial support, to facilitate the development of a valid idea.


We hope to welcome you in Barcelona, Spain next February, 2013!
Should you have any question please don't hesitate contacting me.


Kind regards,
