General information

The newly organized IMACS conference including student seminary is held in Plzeň, Czech Republic between 10 and 13 September 2007. The conference held between 10 and 12 is devoted especially to mathematical and computational aspects of modeling the biomechanical and biological systems. However, on this platform the meeting should bring together specialists from all relevant scientific fields participating in the "bio-math" applications, spanning mathematics, mechanics, information science, biology and medicine. After the conference, a student seminary will be organized in 13 September focused on mathematical techniques applied in modeling of tissues and joint replacements. The student seminary is free of charge.

Scientific topics

The conference, under the auspices by IMACS, will be devoted to certain problems in biomechanical, biological, medical modelling and mathematical methods for their solutions. The conference features a number of invited scientific sessions in the following areas:

Soft tissue and muscular mechanics
Bone and dental mechanics
Cardiovascular mechanics
Micro-circular and respiratory systems
Cellular and molecular mechanics
Tissue engineering, biomaterials
Biotransport and multi-field problems
Organ biomechanics and fluid-structure interaction
Impact and injury biomechanics, sport biomechanics
Orthopedics and implant modelling
Muscle-skeletal systems and performance
Computational biomechanics and large simulations
Imaging and computer assisted surgery
Biological, biomechanical and medical modelling:

Numerical methods for solutions
Contact problems in visco-elasticity and plasticity
Composites, homogenization methods and multi-scale modelling
Mathematical simulation of nonlinear materials and structures, materials with memory
