Applications of information technology in these areas are of paramount impor- tance. The aim of the first ITBAM conference was to bring together scientists, re- searchers and practitioners from different disciplines (mathematics, bioinformatics, biology, medicine, biomedical engineering and computer science) having such com- mon interests. We hope that ITBAM conferences will provide opportunities for fruit- ful discussions between all attendees and provide a platform where participants can exchange their most recent results, identify future directions and challenges, initiate possible collaborative research and system development, and develop common lan- guages for solving problems in the realm of biomedical engineering, bioinformatics and medical informatics. The importance of computer-aided diagnosis and therapy has drawn more and more attention worldwide and laid the foundation for modern medicine with excellent potential for promising applications such as telemedicine, Web-based healthcare and analysis of genetic information. For this conference, after a peer-review process, we finally selected 13 long papers and 8 short papers that are now published in this volume. They are divided in to the following groups: workflow management and database; decision support and data management in biomedicine; medical data modelling and information retrieval; data mining in bioinformatics; knowledge representation and data management in bioin- formatics; biological data and signal processing. The papers show how broad the spectrum of topics in applications of information technology to biomedical engineer- ing and medical informatics is. The editors would like to thank all the participants for their high-quality contribu- tions and Springer for publishing the proceedings of this conference. Our special thanks go to Gabriela Wagner for her hard work on various aspects of this event.
