Bioengineering applies engineering methods, applied mathematics and physics to the study of biological problems, leading to a better understanding of systems such as the mechanics of physiological processes. Numerical analysis techniques are used to understand these processes by way of simulation. Both computational facilities and numerical techniques have given the medical community the ability to analyze, manage and visualize biomedical data. This volume contains the proceedings of the First International Conference on Simulation Modelling in Bioengineering, held in Merida, Venezuela in October 1996.
