LOCATION
Innsbruck is nestled in the valley of the Inn River and tucked between the Austrian Alps and the Tuxer mountain range. It has twice hosted the Winter Olympics and is surrounded by the eight ski regions of the Olympic Ski World, including the Stubai Glacier, which offers skiing year round. Climbing the 14th century Stadtturm on Herzog Friedrich Strasse provides a stunning view of the town and the breathtaking scenery that surrounds it. Concerts at Ambras Castle provide listening pleasure in a beautiful renaissance setting. The sturdy medieval houses and sidewalk cafés of Old Town Innsbruck beckon you to sit for a while and watch people stroll by. Innsbruck, with its unique blend of historical, intellectual, and recreational pursuits, offers something for every visitor. BioMed 2017 will be held at the world-famous Congress Innsbruck, located in the heart of the city near the historical quarter.
SUBMISSIONS
Submit your paper via our website at: www.iasted.org/conferences/submit-852.html. All submissions should be in Adobe Acrobat (.PDF) format.
The IASTED Secretariat must receive your paper by November 20, 2016. Receipt of paper submission will be confirmed by email.
Authors submitting their papers early will normally receive notification at an earlier date.
Initial Paper Requirements
All papers submitted to IASTED conferences must be previously unpublished and may not be considered for publication elsewhere at any time during IASTED\’s review period. Authors are limited to a maximum of three paper submissions.
Initial paper submissions can be full papers or short papers. Papers of up to 8 pages in length are included in the conference registration fee. An extra charge will apply for every additional page for papers longer than 8 pages. Authors are responsible for having their papers checked for style and grammar before submitting to IASTED. Papers may be rejected if the language is not satisfactory.
Short papers should follow the rules of full papers initial submission formatting (must contain abstract, keywords, introduction, discussion/results, conclusion and references). The maximum length of short papers should not exceed 4 pages.
When submitting a paper, complete the online initial paper submission form, designating an author who will attend the conference, and provide four key words to indicate the subject area of your paper. At least one of the key words must be taken from the list of topics provided under Scope, above.
Formatting instructions for initial papers are available at www.iasted.org/formatting-initial-page.html.
Reviewing
All papers submitted to this conference will be double-blind peer reviewed by at least two members of the International Program Committee and related technical committees. Acceptance will be based primarily on originality, significance, technical soundness, presentation, and references.
Acceptance and Registration
Notification of acceptance will be sent via email by December 12, 2016. Final manuscripts are due by January 10, 2017. Registration and final payment are due by January 10, 2017. Late registration fees or paper submissions will result in the papers being excluded from the conference proceedings.
