We are also very pleased to announce that the official Journal of
the Conference, Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering
(CMBBE), http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/gcmb has increased its Impact
Factor by 67% to 1.284 which is an excellent achievement since being
indexed in April 2008. CMMBE is published by Taylor & Francis who as well
as sponsoring the event also
offer a prize of €700 for the best innovative presentation in computational
biomechanics. Â The T&F symposium stand will provide full details of their
books and journals and since the majority of the editorial board will be
present at the meeting it will provide the opportunity to discuss your own
ideas and research topics which you feel may be relevant to future
expansion of the journal. The
