  • Stochastic Approaches in Medical and Biomedical Systems

Papers Submissions:

Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts, which must be written in English and must be received by July 31 August 6, 2008. Extended abstracts should not exceed two A4 pages with 25mm margins on all sides, in one column format, and with 10-point fonts or larger. Please include the title, author names, affiliations, and addresses on the top of the first page of the extended
abstract. The extended abstract should be prepared in PDF format, and it should be submitted electronically by e-mail attachment.

In the body of the e-mail, please write the following information:

(2) presenting author,

(3) field of the paper (select one among those written above),

(4) entry to the award (if any),

(5) address, affilication, phone number, fax number and e-mail address,

and send it to sss08(at)konan-u.ac.jp (replace (at) with @).

Authors will be advised regarding acceptance of the extended abstract by August 31, 2008. The author of accepted papers are requested to submit the manuscripts for the Proceedings following the instructions available in the Proceedings page. The manuscripts should be prepared in either PDF format and submitted electronically via the Proceedings page by November 10, 2008.
