*** Aim and Scope ***

The 2011 International Workshop on Convergence of Biomedical Science and Information Technologies (CBSIT 2011) will be held October 20-22, 2011, Gwangju, Korea as one of ITCS 2011 Workshops. CSBIT 2011 will be one of comprehensive workshop series focused on the various aspects of the convergence of Biomedical Science with Computational Sciences and Information Technologies.
The goal of this workshop is to bring the researchers together from academia and industry as well as practitioners to share various ideas, problems and solutions relating to the multifaceted aspects of Biology, Biomedical Science, Information Technology and their convergences.

*** Topics ***
This Bio/IT-convergence workshop will publish high quality research articles which are closely related to the various theories and practical applications in Bio/IT-converged areas of the following topics:
- Biomedicine & Biotechnology
- Bioinformatics & Bioengineering
- Biometrics & Computational Anatomy
- Bioinspired Computing (GA, GP, DNA Computing, etc.)
- Biorobotics & Humanoid Robots
- Medical Informatics (Machine Learning & Data Mining & Visualization)
- Systems Biology & In-Silico Biology
- Computational Algorithms for Biomedical Sciences
- other convergence ideas and applications

*** Publication ***
Every submitted paper will be carefully reviewed by at least three members of the International Program Committee.

All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings published by Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering (LNEE) - Springer (indexed by EI and SCOPUS).

Papers must strictly adhere to page limits as follows.
- Full Paper: 8 pages (Max 2 extra pages allowed at additional cost)
- Regular Paper: 6 pages (Max 2 extra pages allowed at additional cost)

Please use the Springer Proceedings format for submission. Template is available here:
