CALL FOR PAPERS
28th Canadian Medical and Biological Engineering Conference
September 9-11, 2004 - Delta Hotel Québec
CMBEC28 is the premier event for biomedical engineering professionals in Canada. It offers a national forum for information exchange
among researchers and clinicians working in medical and biomedical engineering. One of the main objectives of this conference is to
improve communication among all health care professionals through the presentation and discussion of new research. The CMBES invites
physicians, engineers, scientists, technicians and technologists to attend and help shape the future of biomedical technology.
Québec City is one of the country's most popular visitor destinations. Conference events, such as meetings, courses, exhibits,
and technical sessions, as well as accommodations for the conference will be at the Delta Hotel, which is located in the heart of
Le Vieux-Québec. See www.old-quebec.com for tourist information. The
conference will open with Plenary Sessions, followed by concurrent streams of scientific and technical papers that will be presented
over a three-day period.
Scientific and Technical Papers and Posters are invited from biomedical engineering professionals for inclusion in the scientific
and technical program. Students are also encouraged to participate in this exchange of scientific information. CMBES Student
Members are eligible to compete in the Student Paper Competition.
Scientific and Technical Contributions are welcome in the following areas:
Bioinformatics, Medical Informatics and Telehealth
Biomaterials
Biomechanics
Biomedical Imaging and Image Processing
Biosignal Processing and Biosystem Modeling
Clinical Engineering
Ethics and Regulations
Human Performance Engineering
Neural and Rehabilitation Engineering

Exhibits: The Delta Hotel has excellent facilities for exhibits. Manufacturers of medical devices, instrumentation and technology
are invited to showcase the latest emerging innovations and equipment. In addition, private sector service providers and regulatory
bodies are invited to present the most recent developments in health care management, safety standards and regulations.
Continuing Education Program: As in previous years, a series of instructional courses will be run alongside the conference.
Courses geared towards the needs of biomedical professionals will be offered on a variety of topics. A list of courses will be
posted on the CMBES Web site.
Submissions: To assist the Organizing Committee with the development of the Preliminary Program, authors are asked to send a brief
abstract (250 words) by e-mail prior to submission of their final paper. All final papers must be two to four pages in length,
written in English or French; all papers will be subject to a critical review process. The format for the final paper must follow
specific guidelines, which are posted on the CMBES Web site.
