the use of metaheuristics optimization algorithms to solve biomedical
engineering problems. The session has no thematic limitations, but the research
topics involved must have a direct link with the medical field. We look for
papers dressing both practical and theoretical issues. Topics of interest
include (but not limited) to the application of metaheuristics to : </span></p>
