    VIIth INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON COMPUTER SIMULATION IN BIOMECHANICS

    August 5-7, 1999, Calgary, Canada
    First Announcement and Call for Papers

    The VIIth International Symposium on Computer Simulation in
    Biomechanics (ISCSB-VII) will be held at The University of Calgary,
    Calgary, Canada, from the 5th to the 7th of August 1999. This Symposium,
    organized by the ISB Technical Group on Computer Simulation (TGCS), is
    a satellite event of the XVIIth Congress of the International Society
    of Biomechanics (ISB) which takes place at the Calgary Convention
    Centre, August 8-13, 1997.

    VENUE
    -----
    The conference site is the Physical Education Complex, home of the
    Faculty of Kinesiology of the University of Calgary. Meals and
    accomodation will be provided on-site and are included in the
    registration fee. The conference site has excellent meeting rooms,
    computer facilities as well as extensive recreation facilities:
    skating oval, fitness center, racket courts etc. The accomodation at
    the student residences is within several minutes walking distance from
    the meeting site.

    SCOPE
    -----
    The symposium will be a scientific and technical meeting for
    investigators and students in all areas of computer simulation in
    biomechanics, especially: human movement, control, and robotics related
    to biomechanics. The meeting will include sessions on the following
    topics:

    * Numerical methods
    * Musculoskeletal modeling
    * Applications in sport
    * Applications in motor control
    * Clinical and ergonomics applications
    * Simulation of biomechanical signal processing

    Papers on other topics will also be considered. Two keynote lectures
    will be given on applications of computer simulation in computer
    graphics and in adaptive control of robots.

    SYMPOSIUM FORMAT
    ----------------
    Each paper will be presented for 10 minutes, followed by 5 minutes of
    discussion. As has been the tradition for these symposia, each presenter
    will then have the opportunity to give an interactive demonstration for
    one hour during the following demonstration session / coffee break.
    When not in use for scheduled demonstrations, computers will be
    accessible to foster informal exchange of information between
    participants. Meals and evening activities are an important part of
    the symposium. Only 32 papers will be accepted for presentation. Papers
    accompanied by a computer demonstration will be preferred.

    ANDRZEJ KOMOR AWARD
    -------------------
    To be eligible for this award, the work presented must be part of a
    Master's or Doctoral degree program for the first author of the paper.
    The award will be presented during the banquet and will include a
    cheque for $500 (US).
