The Biostec Biosignals 2011 is a periodic annual meeting to bring together researchers and practitioners, including engineers, biologists, health professionals, and informatics/computer scientists, interested in both theoretical advances and applications of signal processing, electronics, and other engineering tools in knowledge areas related to biology and medicine. The Biostec Biosignals 2011 aims to provide a prospective view of the challenges actually opened in the biosignal processing. In this framework, the conference will collect contributions in several areas of biosignal processing, including, but are not limited to:

• Wearable sensors and systems
• Real-time systems
• Biometrics
• Pattern recognition
• Computational intelligence
• Evolutionary systems
• Neural networks
• Speech recognition
• Acoustic signal processing
• Time and frequency response
• Wavelet transform
• Medical image detection, acquisition, analysis, and processing
• Physiological processes, biosignal modeling, and nonlinear dynamics
• Bioinformatics
• Cybernetics and user interface technologies
• Electromagnetic fields in biology and medicine

This special issue will accept extended articles selected from the peer-reviewed papers that will be accepted for presentation at the Biostec Biosignal 2011 (http://www.biosignals.biostec.org) which will take place in Rome, January 26–29, 2011.

This special issue is only restricted to invited papers from the Biostec Biosignals 2011 conference.
