> LOCATION
> BioMech 2004 will take place at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel, located directly on beautiful Waikiki Beach. Situated in the city of Honolulu, on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, Waikiki was historically the playground of the Hawaiian nobility, and has since become one of the most famous beaches in the world. The soft sand and turquoise waters make it an attractive spot for swimmers, surfers, and other water enthusiasts. The city of Honolulu is the commercial and administrative center for the Hawaiian islands, and is filled with many fine restaurants, shopping centers, and cultural and historical attractions. Nearby attractions include Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head Crater, and the Polynesian Cultural Center.

> PURPOSE
> BioMech 2004 will act as an international forum for researchers and practitioners interested in the advances in biomechanics and its applications in a wide range of fields. It is an opportunity to present and observe the latest research, results, and ideas in these areas. BioMech 2004 will aim to strengthen relationships between industry, research laboratories, and universities. All papers submitted to this conference will be peer evaluated by at least two reviewers. Acceptance will be based primarily on originality and contribution.
