During the last decades research in life sciences has opened our eyes to a broad range of complex problems. In light of this classical methods of engineering and natural sciences are starting to reach their limits. With the increase of computational power, simulation methods possess a high potential to elucidate the mechanisms in these new realms of medicine and biology, and establish new models for the control and prognosis of biomedical systems.
This track aims to bring together scientists from engineering and natural and life sciences to stimulate discussion on new methods and topics in the field of complex biomedical systems. It shall not only provide a forum for presentation of novel approaches and methods of advanced simulation for both modelling and analysis but also provide meaningful results and applications. We welcome high-quality, original scientific contributions and will consider them for publication.
