:: Scope
The inter-disciplinary approach is becoming an increasing need in scientiﬁ c 
and industrial communities. The most evident example of such a need 
is represented by the strong interconnection between biomedical and 
communication engineering. On the one hand, ICT can provide new tools 
for making healthcare systems more efﬁ cient and responsive in order to 
supply in-the-home and mobile healthcare solutions. On the other hand, 
many of the most recent advances in communication technologies – from 
algorithms to the electronics and materials – are “bio-inspired”. Moreover, 
it is increasing the awareness of the great potentials offered by the synergistic combination of many disciplines (e.g., mathematics and physics, biology and chemistry) in both biomedical and communication engineering.
The global interest towards a safer Planet is forcing the industrial and 
scientiﬁ c worlds to seek for engineering solutions in order to reestablish 
normal conditions both in terms of communication and medical-related 
functionalities, which are two of most basic needs of human beings, especially under critical scenarios in the aftermath of a disaster, either natural 
or man-made. Hence, from 2011 onward, ISABEL will also look upon the 
application of sciences in biomedical and communication engineering so 
as to develop novel technologies and solutions that can make our lives 
“safer” in critical situations.
ISABEL aims at creating a stage where researchers, scientists and business people can discuss and share ideas at the frontiers of life sciences, 
pure sciences and engineering.
