Description The life sciences have
become increasingly quantitative as new technologies facilitate
collection and analysis of vast amounts of data ranging from complete
genomic sequences of organisms to satellite imagery of forest
landscapes on continental scales. As a consequence, mathematics and
computational science have become crucial technologies for the study of
complex models of biological processes.
The SIAM Activity Group on Life Sciences brings together researchers
who seek to develop and apply mathematical and computational methods in
all areas of the life sciences. This conference of the activity group
will provide a cross-disciplinary forum for catalyzing mathematical
research relevant to the life sciences. It will facilitate rapid
diffusion of new mathematical and computational methods in the life
sciences, and may stimulate more researchers to work in these important
areas. Mathematicians, life scientists, computational biologists,
bioengineers and others interested in mathematical and computational
analysis of biological systems are encouraged to attend.

The IMECS 2008 is organized by the International Association of
Engineers (IAENG), a non-profit international association for
the
engineers and the computer scientists. The conference has the focus on
the frontier topics in the theoretical and applied engineering and
computer science subjects. The IMECS conferences serve as good
platforms for our members and the entire engineering community to meet
with each other and to exchange ideas. Our IMECS committees have been
formed with over two hundred and sixty committees members who are
mainly research center heads, faculty deans, department heads,
professors, and research scientists from over 30 countries. The last
IMECS 2007 has attracted more than one thousand participants from over
50 countries.
All submitted papers will be under peer review and accepted papers will
be published in the conference proceeding (ISBN: 978-988-98671-8-8).
The abstracts will be indexed and available at major academic
databases. The accepted papers will also be considered for publication
in the special issues of the journal Engineering Letters, in IAENG
journals and in edited books. Revised and expanded version of the
selected papers may also be included as book chapters in the standalone
edited books under the framework of cooperation between IAENG and
Springer.
