2010 Neurology Update - A Comprehensive Review for the Clinician - Cleveland Clinic6 August 2010 - 8 August 2010
The Ritz-Carlton
Washington, DC
Neurological disorders span the range of disease from Alzheimer's disease to Wernicke's encephalopathy and beyond. In the past 10 years, since the Decade of the Brain, there has been an explosion of basic and clinical understanding of neurological diseases. In addition there have been many therapeutic breakthroughs. As the population ages, more patients are developing disorders such as stroke, dementia, Parkinson's disease and the like.
The need to treat and manage these disorders will only increase in the future. This comprehensive course will review the most significant aspects of this expanding field, focusing on conditions and treatments that impact the growing affected population.
Registration deadline is 5:00 pm (EST), Monday, August 2, 2010.

Third Physcomitrella Genome Workshop13 September 2010 - 15 September 2010
University of Freiburg, Germany
The Physcomitrella genome was first sequenced at the Joint Genome Institute (JGI) of the US Department of Energy and published in 2008 by a consortium of 70 researchers from 45 different laboratories. The event will focus in particular on the annotation of this genome, which has become a model organism in applied and in basic biology.
The workshop will aim to create a lively working atmosphere and by providing ample space for hands-on mining and annotating of the moss genome. Insights into genomic resources for other bryophytes will also be provided.
The organisers of the conference have constructed a website containing information about the moss genome. The event will talk about this new resource, which aims to attract additional researchers to help in further annotation of moss genes.

The First Workshop on Bio-inspired Models and Technologies for an Ambient Information Society1 December 2010 - 3 December 2010
Boston, MA
This workshop aims to bring together researchers and scientists from several research areas, including biology and information sciences, to foster research and development of novel ambient society technologies, architectures and control methods.
The ambient information society can be summarised as an environment designed so that the user is not consciously aware of the presence of information and communication technologies. This is done by using a system that comprehensively understands the user's needs and effectively transmits information through various information devices embedded in the environment.
New innovative technologies are required to address the expected challenges of the ambient information society, such as understanding user desires, recognition of environmental conditions, adaptation of ambient systems and the provisioning of information to users. Biologically-inspired approaches are promising in building such technologies by opening up an interdisciplinary way of thinking and working.
Topics at the conference are set include:
- mathematical models of biological systems,
- bio-inspired application technologies for ambient information society,
- bio-inspired information technologies for ambient information society,
- bio-inspired networking technologies for ambient information society,
- bio-inspired interface technologies for ambient information society.

To be held in conjunction with the:
Ninth Annual IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (PerCom 2011) http://www.percom.org
A smart environment is a residential or other setting equipped with a set of advanced electronics, sensors and automated devices specifically designed for care delivery, remote monitoring, early detection of problems or emergency cases and promotion of residential safety and quality of life. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are utilized to allow various populations including citizens with chronic conditions, disabilities, older adults and families to live independently in their preferred environment. Thus, systems are patient-centered rather than institution-centered as they are designed to address the needs of the elderly, their families and caregivers rather than these of health care facilities.
The workshop will focus on contributions that cover areas such as:
Innovative pervasive computing applications Context modeling and reasoning for health care monitoring Adaptive, autonomic and context-aware computing Mobile/Wireless computing systems and services in the health care context Sensors and RFIDs in pervasive health care monitoring systems Wearable health care devices Visualization approaches to capturing wellness or health based on smart sensing data capture Privacy and confidentiality considerations for pervasive health care applications
We kindly invite authors to submit full papers on original and unpublished work. Papers must be written in English and shall not exceed 6 pages in IEEE proceedings style. Papers must be submitted in PDF format using EDAS. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press. Submission implies the willingness of at least one author to fully register for PerCom 2011 and to present the paper/demo on-site. No-shows at the workshop will result in an exclusion from the IEEE Digital Library.
