International Conference on Instrumentation, Communication, Information Technology and Biomedical Engineering

International Conference on Instrumentation, Communication, Information Technology and Biomedical Engineering (ICICI-BME) is a scientific meeting held every 2 years by the Bandung Institute of Technology (STEI Biomedical Engineering Study Program and High Energy Theoretical Physics and Instrumentation Study Program, FMIPA ITB), Indonesian Biomedical Engineering Society and Indonesian Sensor and Actuator System Society. ICICI-BME was first held in 2009 in Bandung. The 2^nd ICICI-BME 2011 which coincided with The 6^th Biomedical Engineering Days (BMEDays) is the second ICICI-BME event with the theme "Science and Technology for Health". This activity is also supported by the School of Electrical Engineering and Informatics (STEI), Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA), Faculty of Industrial Technology (FTI), Faculty of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (FTMD) ITB and IEEE BME Society, IEEE Indonesia – BME Chapter, IEEE Indonesia – CAS Chapter.

The 2^nd ICICI-BME 2011 took place over two days, November 8-9, 2011, at the East Hall of ITB. The event was opened by the Vice Rector for Resources and Organization of ITB, Prof. Dr. Irawati, MS. The main objective The 2^nd ICICI-BME 2011 serves as a forum for discussion, interaction, and communication between domestic and international researchers. Furthermore, this event aims to strengthen relationships and networks between academics, researchers, industry, and government. This scientific event is attended by experts in instrumentation, information and communication technology, and biomedical engineering to present the latest research trends, namely:

1. Prof. Jakrapong Kaewkhao
2. Prof. Diego Mantovani
3. Dr. dr. Hermawan Nagar Rasyid, Sp.OT(K), MT (BME), FICS
4. Prof. Seichii Serikawa
5. Prof. Yusaku Fujii
6. Prof. Noriaki Yoshiura

8. Prof. Eko Supriyanto
9. Prof. Soegijardjo Soegijoko
10. Prof. Koichi Kurita
11. Prof. H.-D. Liess
12. Prof. Mitra Djamal

In addition, 129 papers were recorded as having been submitted. After going through the review process, ., 79 papers were selected and given the opportunity to present their papers. These papers will be included in IEEExplore. The 2^nd ICICI-BME 2011 was attended by participants from 10 countries. Other activities were also held in The 2^nd ICICI-BME 2011 is IBES (Indonesian Biomedical Engineering Society) meeting and Conference Dinner which was held in Bumi Sangkuriang Bandung. One of the results of the meeting was The 7^th Biomedical Engineering Days will be held in November 2012 at Swiss German University (SGU) Jakarta.
