[DMANET] 3rd CfP --- HIBIT 2012 --- Kapadokya, Nevsehir, Turkey

THIRD CALL FOR PAPERS
7th International Symposium on Health Informatics and Bioinformatics
HIBIT 2012
Kapadokya, Nevsehir, Turkey
April 19-22, 2012

PURPOSE
The International Symposium on Health Informatics and Bioinformatics,
(HIBIT), now in
its seventh year (HIBIT 2012), aims to bring together academicians,
researchers and practitioners
who work in these popular and fulfilling areas and to create the
much-needed synergy among
medical, biological and information technology sectors. HIBIT is one
of the few international
conferences on this subject in the world; therefore international
participation from all around the world is anticipated. HIBIT provides
a forum for discussion, exploration and development of
both theoretical and practical aspects of health informatics and
bioinformatics and a chance to
network with others working and researching in this area.
