Past Events

Sponsored by TC-BMS

A precursor to the series of Symposia on Modelling and Control in Biomedical Systems was a Conference on "Regulation & Control in Physiological Systems" sponsored by IFAC (Systems Committee), American Physiological Society and the International Union of Physiological Sciences that was held at the University of Rochester, USA in 1973.


Co-sponsored by TC-BMS

Events co-sponsored by the TC-BIOMED included a range of events organised by the International Measurement Confederation (IMEKO) and the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS). Such co-sponsorship follows a long-standing agreement between these three organisations holding meetings involving the applications of measurement, modelling, systems and control ideas in medicine and biology. Hence it is normal practice for an event organised by one of the three to be co-sponsored by the other two.

During the triennium there were no Symposia sponsored by IMEKO TC 13 (Measurement in Medicine and Biology), which would have been events attracting IFAC co-sponsorship. There were, however, two IMEKO Congresses attracting IFAC co-sponsorship which included sessions organised by IMEKO TC13:

  • IMEKO XV, Osaka, Japan, June 1999
  • IMEKO XVI, Vienna, Austria, September 2000
