Action Program
/2011/IEEE-EMB RO Chapter
1. The IEEE-EMB RO
Chapter Annual Seminar and meetings.
Description: A seminar with
the members of the EMB community. The goal is to identify the status of the community
and to explore new opportunities in consolidating the Chapter and strengthening
ties with R&D, industry, companies, and other IEEE Chapters. It is expected
that the EMB seminar will be connected to conferences such as ATEE, MEDITECH,
EHB, INGIMED (in odd years) and others.
Annual EMB Seminar at ATEE-2011, UP Bucureşti
Organizers:
Alexandru Morega and Sever Paşca
Place: University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest, May 14th,
9:00-13:00.
ATEE is the forum that stimulates active and
effective exchange of information between researchers in various areas of
theoretical and applied electrical engineering. Key leaders from private and
state owned companies involved in will also be in attendance.
The EMB section, jointly organized with the EMC-RO Chapter, is connected
to the “Advanced Topics in Electrical Engineering” Symposium, which –
this year – is in celebration to the 90th anniversary of the
Faculty of Electrical Engineering, which we recommend you to attend. The
official site is http://atee2011.elth.pub.ro
ATEE is an IEEE eXplore event (#19057), sponsored by IEEE, IEEE Romania Section, EMB-RO and ENC-Ro Chapters, and it also listed with wikicfp: http://www.wikicfp.com/cfp/servlet/event.showcfp?eventid=14940
Contact person: prof. Alexandru Morega
For those of you who did not registered yet, please email to atee2011@upb.ro or to amm@iem.pub.ro mentioning “The 2011 EMB
section”.
Regular EMB meeting at MEDITECH-2011, UT Cluj-Napoca
Organizers: Radu Ciupa
(MEDITECH) and Alexandru Morega (IEEE-EMB-RO)
Place and time: check the official site — http://www.meditech.utcluj.ro/
The conference is intended to be an international forum for researchers
and practitioners interested in the advance in, and applications of biomedical engineering
to exchange the latest research results and ideas in the areas covered by the
topics (and not only!). MEDITECH is an IFMBE sponsored conference.
Contact person: prof. Radu Ciupa
Regular EMB meeting at EHB-2011 UMF Iaşi
Organizers: Hariton Costin
(EHB) and Alexandru Morega (IEEE-EMB-RO)
Place and time: to be specified in due time.
EHB: E-Health and Bioengineering Conference.
The main objective of this third conference, organized by the ‘Gr.T. Popa’
University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Iaşi and the Romanian Society of
Medical Bioengineering, under the aegis of IEEE Romania and IEEE-EMB Romania,
is dedicated to the e-health and medical bioengineering in general. Its goals
are to promote concepts and advanced hardware and software technologies in the
emerging domains of e-health, medical devices and instrumentation, biosignal
and image processing, biomechanics, biomaterials, biotechnologies, healthcare
management, also for some younger disciplines like bioinformatics, systems
biology or virtual physiological human.

EHB is an IEEE eXplore event (#19121), and also listed with wikicfp: http://www.wikicfp.com/cfp/servlet/event.showcfp?eventid=15240©ownerid=22595
Contact person: prof. Hartion Costin.
2. Local PhD seminars
in Bucharest, Iasi, Cluj, Timisoara, Craiova, Brasov, etc.
Every year, the local PhD students in EMB and other different major
fields conducting research in EMB will present the progress of their work in a
dedicated seminar that will be followed by an active dialog.
To fulfill this task, we still need a volunteer member of the
IEEE-EMB-RO Chapter to organize the seminars in each of the cities (and others,
should it be adequate). Therefore, I want to kindly ask a few of you to do this
job:
* prof. Radu Ciupa at UTCN
(at MEDITECH 2011)
* prof. Radu Negoescu at
IASTEDA (at INGIMED 2011)
* prof. Radu Ciorap at
UMFI (at ATEE 2011)
* prof. Hariton Costin at
UMFI (at EHB 2011)
* other contributors
These seminars may constitute a final rehearsal for the presentation of
the papers for forthcoming International Conferences and should be in English
because English is the language of all international companies where most of
our Ph.D. students hope to get a job either here or abroad.
3. Steps to establish
an IEEE-EMB-RO Student Chapter.
To start with, our graduate (PhD) student Alin Dobre – the Faculty
of Electrical Engineering at UPB – was designated to proceed with the
formalities via Internet; he will keep you posted with the progress and ask for
your input when necessary. Until
then please talk to you best undergrad and your grad students about this
possibility and send us a list of their Email addresses (a common address for
all which they already share will be good).
4. Strengthening ties
with IEEE-RO Chapters.
We started last year, through a joint EMB-EMC event connected to
EPE-2010 in Iasi.
I already contacted the EMC Chair, prof. Andrei Marinescu, and we agreed
to have a joint event connected to the ATEE 2011.
ATEE is an IEEE eXplore event (#19057), and also listed with wikicfp — http://www.wikicfp.com/cfp/servlet/event.showcfp?eventid=14940
Please do not miss this event and contribute if possible.
5. Strengthening ties
between academia and R&D, industry, and companies in EMB.
Dr. Mihai Cheţan of MedCo volunteered to setting up a kick-off
meeting with representatives from R&D, companies, and industry with an
interest in EMB. He plans a tentative action connected to the IEEE-EMB,
IEEE-EMC joint meeting at the ATEE-2011 conference.
6. EMB-RO and other
related events
Prof. Paul D. Cristea, MC RA, adds the (technical) support of the
IEEE-EMB-RO Chapter to the GPS 2011 conference. Please participate, and spread
the news:
The second International Workshop on Genomic Signal Processing,
organized by the University "Politehnica" of Bucharest (UPB), the
Biomedical Engineering Center, Bucharest, Romania; with the support of the Romanian
Ministry of Education, Research and Innovation; the IEEE Romania Section; the
Commission for Biomedical Engineering of the Romanian Academy and the Romanian
Bioinformatics Society.
GSP2011 will be held at the University "Politehnica" of
Bucharest, Romania. The event is organized in conjunction with ISSCS 2011 (the
10th International Symposium on Signals, Circuits and Systems) held at the
Technical University of Iasi, Romania on June 30 and July 1, 2011 (http://scs.etc.tuiasi.ro/isscs2011/).
The web site of the workshop is http://GSP2011.dsp.pub.ro
<http://gsp2011.dsp.pub.ro/>.
This is the ACTION Plan for 2011. However, the list will be still open,
and others actions and initiatives are welcome.
The very busy 2011 EMB plan requires the participation of some of us,
but the more participants the better.
We are looking forward to working together in successfully solving the
2011 Agenda.
