Description
-----------
Advances in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have
provided the tools and the environment to study, analyze, and better
understand complex medical problems. This technological development
has enabled researchers to provide increasingly advanced services,
including Computer Assisted Radiology, Telemedicine, Robotized
Tele-operating Systems, etc.
In recent years, research in Computer Applications applied to Health
Care and Biomedicine has dramatically intensified. The Encyclopedia of
Informatics in Healthcare & Biomedicine aims to provide a platform for
researchers to describe and analyze recent breakthroughs in these
areas. The new papers collection will be most helpful as it provides
comprehensive coverage and definitions of the most important issues,
concepts, new trends and advanced technologies in Healthcare and
Biomedicine. This important new Encyclopedia will be distributed
worldwide among academic and professional institutions and will be
instrumental in providing researchers, scholars, students and
professionals access to the latest knowledge related to information
science and technology in the area of Healthcare and Biomedicine.

The Encyclopedia of Informatics in Healthcare & Biomedicine is an
excellent source of comprehensive knowledge and literature on the
topic of Health and Biomedical Informatics.
Individuals interested in submitting short articles on suggested
topics or other related topics in their area of interest should
submit an e-mail listing 2-3 selected topics and the short article
(2,000-2,500 words) by February 28, 2005. We strongly encourage
other topics that have not been listed in our suggested list,
particularly if the topic is related to the research area in
which you have expertise. Upon acceptance of your proposal,
you will have two months to prepare the final version of your
article (2,000-2,500 words) and 7-10 related terms and their
appropriate definitions.
For the title of the paper you can use Times New Roman Fonts (16pt)
