THE CONFERENCE – CALL FOR PAPERS
CLABIO 2015 - II Latin American Conference on Bioimpedance is promoted
such that research groups on Electrical Bioimpedance from Latina America and the
Caribbean may share experiences with other groups from all over the world, mainly
from Latin America, by presenting their scientific works and potential innovations in
this research area. The social events and networking opportunities will be part of an
informal get together in the Uruguayan style, in springtime (September). The works
may cover a broad range in Biomedical Engineering and Computing, Medical
Physics and Medical Sciences, Environment, Biology and Chemistry. In addition
CLABIO 2015 intends to give students and research groups the time and space to
learn more on Bioimpedance as an important tool in biological material
characterization and in diagnosis, by attending pre-congress courses.
CLABIO 2015 is supported by IFMBE (International Federation on Medical and
Biological Engineering), IEEE Uruguayan and Argentina Chapters, IEEE IMS,
SOCHIB Chile, SABI Argentina, SBEB Brazil and other Regional and National
Scientific Societies. Furthermore, the ISEBI (International Society of Electrical
Bioimpedance) is also supporting the Conference. It is important to mention that the
organizers are part of the body of professors, technicians and students from both the
Uruguayan University (Universidad de La República) and the Brazilian State
University of Santa Catarina (UDESC) and are responsible for the organization of
the event as well as for supporting the Invited Lectures.
The articles for presentation at the Conference will be reviewed by an international
technical committee of expert referees. The abstracts will be published in the
Conference book and the proceedings containing the full papers will be published in
a peer reviewed journal. All papers should be prepared following the IFMBE
standard format.
The authors of the works receiving a high rated evaluation during the review process
will be invited to produce an extended version to be submitted to the Journal of
Electrical Bioimpedance and will be considered for publication under the journal
guidelines.
