We are pleased to invite you to attend CMBBE2008 which is to be held in Porto, Portugal 27 February – 1 March 2008. Please see www.cmbbe2008.cf.ac.uk together with final deadlines and abstract submission details
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
A list of suggested topics are given on the website however new and novel innovations being developed in computation biomechanics and life sciences are most welcome.
The meeting will consist of 30 Plenary presentations, oral and posters sessions, mini-symposia, workshops and software demos and as well as prizes for best papers/posters. Brief details of these are given below:
MINI-SYMPOSIA TOPICS – ABSTRACTS IN THESE AREAS ARE MOST WELCOME

Facial Imaging in Clinical Dentistry (Chair: S Richmond)
Simulation/Dynamics of Wound Healing (Chair: C Oomens)
Motion Analysis/Human Body Performance (Chairs: C Holt/G Johnson)
Computational Methods in Image Processing for Biomechanics (Chair: J Tavares)
Computer-aided Medicine and Surgery (Chair: Marc Thiriet )
Biomechanical behaviour of soft issues (Chair: R Jorge)
Bone and joint reconstructions: effects of surgical fixation techniques on stability (Chair: R Mootanah)
Spine Biomechanics (Chairs: S Evans/R Hall)
