【INTRODUCTION】

IEEE Symposium of Brain-Inspired Computing for Medical Big Data will held at Columbia University on November 18th-20th, 2016. The symposium is co-located with The IEEE International Conference on Smart Cloud (SmartCloud 2016). Recent academic achievements in this specific field will be welcome to this symposium. The accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings and indexed by EI. Excellent papers will be selected and published on SCI and EI journals.

【TOPICS】

Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:
Biologically Inspired System
• Brain inspired medical system

• Applications
Neural Computing
• Neuro-computing systems for brain imaging
• Neural control systems
• Biological neural network models
• Deeping neural networks
• Applications
Medical Data Analysis
• Medical image processing analysis and interpretation
• Patient specific modeling and medical image understanding
• X-ray, CT, Ultrasound, EEG
• Thermal imaging
• Brain & Neurological diseases
• Brain imaging (Functional MRI, Structural MRI, PET)

• Machine learning and pattern recognition
• Model-based image analysis
• Motion/time series analysis
• Registration methodologies
• Segmentation methodologies
• Shapre representation and analysis

【SUBMISSION】

Submissions should include abstract, 5-10 keywords, and the e-mail address of the corresponding author and be in PDF format. Each submission should be in the IEEE 8.5 x 11 inches two-column format with 10-12 point font (Template: DOC or LaTeX), including tables, figures, and references.

Each submission should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the submission be accepted, at least one of the authors must attend the conference to present the work in order that the accepted paper can be put into digital library.

Papers should be submitted through the paper submission system at the conference website. All paper submissions must represent original and unpublished work. Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format through EasyChair. Manuscripts should be prepared following the IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings. Author Guidelines (Template) that can be found at Template:
https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html .

Considering some authors prefer publishing longer papers, we allow authors to submit up to 12 pages for regular papers, up to 5 pages for short papers/industrial papers, we do not encourage authors to submit overlength papers due to the over length charge.
The submission website for SmartCloud 2016 is EasyChair:
