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
civilizationdevelopmentinmanyfieldsconcerningachievementscomingoutfrom
technical theories or more generally technical sciences. We can practice an
extraordinary dynamics of the development of technological processes including
different fields 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,
andappropriatelyprocessed.Theyarehavinginmindstraightoutaboutthecoming
into existence of the so called generally information society.
In such a context, the meeting of both experts and specialists dealing with the
widelyunderstoodinnovationsinbiomedicalengineeringgivetheopportunityofa
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
mostimportantadvantages.Consequently,thewayfromtheuniversalglobalization
letting observe oneself of drastically changing surrounding world. Thanks to the
development of new biotechnologies coming out from the rapid progress in
biomedicalsciencescomprehendingthecontemporaryneedsofsurroundingworld,
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
processingofinformationisoneofthemostimportantissuewhatinthesignificant
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.

vi Preface
The monograph returned to the hands of readers being a result of meeting
specialists dealing with above-mentioned issues should in the significant way
contributetothesuccessinimplementingconsequencesofhumanimaginationinto
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 the final version of this book.
