DETAILS OF THE SCIENTIFIC WORKSHOP

BIOMEDICAL MODELING and CARDIOVASCULAR-RESPIRATORY CONTROL
THEORY and PRACTICE

  AUGUST 2 to AUGUST 4, 2007 
  Presentation Schedule 


The 3 DAY WORKSHOP INCLUDES:
  • 16 invited presentations by current researchers and experts in the scientific area of the workshop
  • Attendance by other researchers as auditors (Please contact the organizers of the workshop if interested to be an auditor)
  • Several round table discussions
  • Participation at the workshop of students of the summer school held just before the workshop on July 22 to August 1 (students primarily at the PhD and Post-Doc level)
  • The inclusion of the summer school students in the workshop: which will allow students and presenters to make collaborative contacts

The Scientific Focus
of the workshop will be on modeling physiological control systems with a primary application of studying clinical problems related to the cardiovascular and respiratory control systems. Important clinical conditions that can be represented as control problems include short-term blood pressure control, blood volume control during hemorrhage or hemodialysis, transfusion treatment regimens, and sleep apnea. A deeper quantitative understanding of control processes in cardiovascular-respiratory physiology is key for developing new and more effective treatment methods and for improving diagnosis.

Workshop Structure
The workshop will be designed as an intensive focus workshop. The workshop will follow a daily schedule similar to the associated summer school with current leading researchers giving state of the art presentations of 45 minutes duration (with discussions) allowing for 16 new presenter talks in the first two days of the workshop. The attending workshop participants will include the school participants, school teachers, and 16 presenters as will as perhaps other visitors. The final Saturday morning session will be devoted to two round table discussions where school and workshop participants can discuss current research problems, potential new approaches to solution, raise questions or issues, and identify bottlenecks or key questions to be answered. Saturday afternoon will be devoted to a social event or outing.

Scientific Network
This event is the first of four events sponsored by the Marie Curie Conferences and Training Courses. The title of the 4 year 4 event sequence is Mathematical Modeling of Human Physiological Systems with Biomedical Applications (BioMedMath). It is hoped that this sequence of events can serve the important goal of promoting a network of researchers in related biomedical modeling areas. The potential to stimulate such a network lies in the intersection of mutual areas of interest in mathematical techniques and the interdisciplinary nature of this area of research. By establishing links between current and prospective researchers, this network will be further supported.
