| Summary: | The 4th IFAC Symposium on Modelling and Control in Biomedical Systems took place from 30 March to 1 April 2000 in Karlsburg/Greifswald, Germany. The Symposium offered the participants an interdisciplinary platform for presenting and discussing new knowledge regarding the understanding of the structure and the functioning of biomedical and biological systems and processes, the measurement and analysis of parameters and innovative methods and strategies in diagnostics and therapy, including the development of decision-aiding systems and artificial organs. The key to success for such an event lies in the competence, the enthusiasm and the hard work of the International and National Organising Committees. These efforts are complemented by the efficient organisational offered by the VDI/VDE Society for Measurement and Automatic Control (GMA), working in close co-operation with the Gerhardt Katsch Institute of Diabetes in Karlsburg. The scientific directors of the meeting were Professor Ewart Carson (City University, London) and Dr Eckhard Salzsieder (Gerhardt Katsch Institute of Diabetes, Karlsburg), who was also Chairman of the Symposium and of the National Organising Committee.
