Let me kindly inform you that the International Conference on Bio-inspired Systems and Signal Processing (BIOSIGNALS 2014 - http://www.biosignals.biostec.org/) steering committee cordially invites you to submit a paper to the BIOSIGNALS 2014 Conference, to be held in Angers, France. The deadline for paper submission is scheduled for September 19, 2013.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. BIOSIGNALS is interested in promoting high quality research as it can be confirmed by last year acceptance rates, where from 113 submissions, 13% were accepted as full papers. Additionally, 24% were presented as short papers and 27% as posters.Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM support.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.

This conference is part of the 7th International Joint Conference on Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies - BIOSTEC (http://www.biostec.org/) and it is co-located with four related conference, namely:- BIODEVICES - International Conference on Biomedical Electronics and Devices (http://www.biodevices.biostec.org/)- BIOIMAGING - International Conference on Bioimaging (http://www.bioimaging.biostec.org/)- BIOINFORMATICS - International Conference on Bioinformatics Models, Methods and Algorithms (http://www.bioinformatics.biostec.org/)- HEALTHINF - International Conference on Health Informatics (http://www.healthinf.biostec.org/)

Registration to one conference allows free access to all other BIOSTEC conferences.We would like to highlight the Doctoral Consortium on Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies that will take place in conjunction with BIOSTEC and aims to provide an opportunity for graduate students to explore their research interests in an interdisciplinary workshop, under the guidance of a panel of distinguished experts in the field (http://www.biostec.org/DoctoralConsortium.aspx).

We hope to welcome you in Angers, France next March, 2014!

Should you have any question please don't hesitate contacting me.
