The series“Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing” contains publications on theory, applications, and design methods of Intelligent Systems and Intelligent Computing. Virtually all disciplines such as engineering, natural sciences, computer and information science, ICT, economics, business, e-commerce, environment, healthcare, life science are covered. The list of topics spans all the areas of modern intelligent systems and computing such as: computational intelligence, soft comput- ing including neural networks, fuzzy systems, evolutionary computing and the fusion of these paradigms, social intelligence, ambient intelligence, computational neuro- science, artificial life, virtual worlds and society, cognitive science and systems, Perception and Vision, DNA and immune based systems, self-organizing and adaptive systems, e-Learning and teaching, human-centered and human-centric computing, recommender systems, intelligent control, robotics and mechatronics including human-machine teaming, knowledge-based paradigms, learning para- digms, machine ethics, intelligent data analysis, knowledge management, intelligent agents, intelligent decision making and support, intelligent network security, trust management, interactive entertainment, Web intelligence and multimedia.

The publications within “Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing” are primarily proceedings of important conferences, symposia and congresses. They cover significant recent developments in the field, both of a foundational and applicable character. An important characteristic feature of the series is the short publication time and world-wide distribution. This permits a rapid and broad dissemination of research results.

Preface

In several recent decades, it is easy to notice and observe an unusual progress of civilization development in manyfields concerning achievements coming out from technical theories or more generally technical sciences. We can practice an extraordinary dynamics of the development of technological processes including differentfields of daily life, which refers particularly to the problem of communi- cating. We are aspiring for disseminating of the view that the success in the particular action or activity is a consequence of the wisdom won over, collected, and appropriately processed. They are having in mind straight out about the coming into existence of the so called generally information society.

In such a context, the meeting of both experts and specialists dealing with the widely understood innovations in biomedical engineering give the opportunity of a new dimension associated with promoting something like state-of-the-art achieve- ments. Because having the innovative approach as a pointer in today’s world of changing attitudes and socioeconomic conditions can be perceived as one of the most important advantages. Consequently, the way from the universal globalization letting observe oneself of drastically changing surrounding world. Thanks to the development of new biotechnologies coming out from the rapid progress in biomedical sciences comprehending the contemporary needs of surrounding world, it may be said almost without any doubts that life without biomedical sciences would sooner or later stop existing.

At present, implementing the universal standardization of the transfer and processing of information is one of the most important issue what in the significant way influences for expanding the circle of Biomedical applications. It is undoubtedly a kind of challenge to put the proper weight into particular branches covered by biomedical engineering, and therefore, we decided to edit the book as four-part elaboration covering biomaterials, biomechanics, biomedical informatics, and last but not least biomedical signal processing. One should aspire to its permanent integration rather than the disintegration to progress in the context of technological development. Hence the constant observation and the appropriate problem analysis of biomedical sciences as well as checking the technologies development and their applications is picking the great importance up.

The monograph returned to the hands of readers being a result of meeting specialists dealing with above-mentioned issues should in the significant way contribute to the success in implementing consequences of human imagination into the social life. We therefore believe, being aware of a human weakness and an imperfection, that the monograph presenting a joint effort of the increasing numerically crowd of professionals and enthusiasts will influence the further technology development regarding generally understood biomedicine with constantly expanding spectrum of its socially useful applications.

The last part of this preface will be devoted to express our great thanks and appreciation to all the contributors of this book, which were listed in the special section as“contributors’ list” and to persons who gave us an unusual help in the final editing process. Specials thanks are transferred to Szymon Sieciński for incredible engagement and help in creating thefinal version of this book.
