Consider submitting or attending this international symposium. The 25th IEEE International Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems (IEEE CBMS 2012) will be held on 20-22 June 2012 at the University Campus Bio-Medico of Rome, Italy. Go to http://www.cbms2012.org or http://www.facebook.com/CBMS2012 for prettier web presentation and more details. The conference 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 informaticsand 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: RELEVANT TOPICS (NON-EXHAUSTIVE LIST)
• Software Systems in Medicine
• Network and Telemedicine Systems
• Web-Based Delivery of Medical Information
• Medical Databases & Information Systems
• Knowledge Discovery & Data Mining
• Computer-Aided Diagnosis
• Knowledge-Based Systems and Techniques
• Content Analysis of Biomedical Image Data
• Decision Support Systems
• Multimedia Biomedical Databases
• Medical Devices with Embedded Computers

Prospective authors are expected to submit their contributions to one ST or to the general track if none of the special tracks is relevant. Please see submission guidelines for further details. The Italian Chapter of the IAPR (International Association for Pattern Recognition) offers a prize to a young researcher in memory of professor Ezio Catanzariti. The prize will consist of 500 € and a plaque. Best papers will be invited to submit extended versions for a Special Issue on Elsevier Journal of Computers and Biology in Medicine and/or IEEE Transactions on Information Technology in Biomedicine. CBMS 2012 will feature a general track and eleven special tracks:ST01-Bioinformatics: towards personalized medicine from omics dataST02-Collaboration and Technology-Mediated Communication in HealthcareST03- Image processing for ophthalmology: challenges in retinal analysis and related fieldsST04-Emerging Smart Technologies for Personalised HealthcareST05-Endoscopic Image Processing and AnalysisST06-Knowledge Learning-Based Biomedical Information SystemsST07-Informatics Challenges of Patient Centric Health and Social CareST08-Processing and Managing Medical Data StreamsST09-Ontologies, Terminologies and Language ProcessingST10-Systems and services for quality enhancement of healthcare provisioning.
