The 308 papers of this two-volume proceedings were first presented
at the First International Conference on BioMedical Engineering and
Informatics, held in May 2008 in Sanya, Hainan, China. The papers are
grouped by session topic, with major themes that include computational
genomics and proteomics; artificial intelligence, machine learning and
data mining; biomedical modeling; and biomedical sensors, devices,
instrumentation, artificial organs, and nano- technologies. The topic
represented by the most papers was that of biomedical imaging, image
processing, and visualization, with individual papers describing
specific research and processes, for example, the automatic thresholding
of Micro-CT trabecular bone images, or the multimodality medical image
registration made possible using the hybrid optimization algorithm.
