The Action Program 2013

Action Program /2013/IEEE-EMB RO Chapter

1. The IEEE-EMB RO Chapter Conferences and Annual Seminars 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, EHB, IWSSIP, INGIMED (in odd years) and others.

Annual EMB-EMC Seminar at ATEE-2013, the University POLITEHNICA of Bucharst. Technically co-sponsored by EMB, EMC and other 5 IEEE national chapters

Organizers:

Alexandru Morega and Sever Paşca (IEEE-EMB-RO), and Andrei Marinescu (IEEE-EMC-RO)

Place: University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest, May 23, 18:15-19:00.

ATEE 2013 is an IEEE conference (#31128), organized by the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest.

Among other topics of interest in Electrical Engineering, the Section on “Engineering in Medicine and Biology and Electromagnetic Compatibility” – technically co-sponsored by our Chapter.

ATEE 2013 intends to strengthen the communication among researchers, academia and industry. Presentations of software demos and exhibition of products are strongly encouraged

20^th International Conference on Systems, Signals and Image Processing (IWSSIP)

Organizers:

IWSSIP was initiated in 1994 by Professor Kalman FAZEKAS from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Budapest, Hungary. He started it as a scientific event meant to stir the research in theory, methodology, systems and applications of signal and image processing, and to attract and stimulate young researchers. IWSSIP 2013, the 20th anniversary edition, was organized by Professor Paul Dan CRISTEA. It was the second occurrence of IWSSIP in Romania, after the one from 2001. Prof. Paul CRISTEA extended the classical domains of interest for IWSSIP to genomic signals processing and to the study of complex systems using intelligent signal processing.

IWSSIP 2013 is an IEEE conference (#31580).

Place: University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest, July 7-9.

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 (#32022)

Contact person: prof. Hartion Costin.

Strengthening ties with other IEEE-RO Chapters.

The main event is the ATEE 2013 conference.

2. Strengthening ties between academia and R&D, industry, and companies in EMB.

The international fair for medicine and pharmacy ROMMEDICA in 9-12 April 2013 was held at ROMEXPO in Bucharest. Our Chapter participated with two lectures

4. Steps to establish an IEEE-EMB-RO Student Chapter.

A graduate (PhD) student will be designated to proceed with the formalities via Internet. Until then please talk to your best EMB undergrad and your graduate students about this possibility and send us a list of their Email addresses.

5. Other actions

INGIMED 2013 workshop. Tentative date: November 7, 2013. Organized by ICPE-CA, Bucharest.

Contact person: Dr. Mircea Igant and Prof. Radu Negoescu

This was the ACTION Plan for 2013.
