> PURPOSE
> The International Conference on Biomechanics is a major contact venue for
research scientists, engineers, and practitioners throughout the world to
present their latest research, ideas, developments, and applications in this
field. BioMech 2003 will include keynote addresses, contributed papers, and
tutorials on a wide range of topics. All papers submitted to this
conference will be peer reviewed by at least two members of the
International Program Committee. Acceptance will be based on quality,
relevance, and originality. The full papers will be published in the
conference proceedings.

> LOCATION
> The IASTED International Conference on Biomechanics (BioMech 2003) will be
held at the Rodos Palace Resort Hotel in the beautiful resort city of
Rhodes, Greece from June 30 to July 2, 2003. Rhodes (Rhodos or Rodos in
greek), means "the beautiful island of roses", and has unique physical
scenery that does not cease to impress its visitors. Also unique is its
climate, with more sunny days than any other place in Europe. To experience
the majesty of Rhodes, walk up the cobblestone streets, past austere
guildhouses, to the massive Crusader's Fortress. Or head out through orange
and olive groves to the Acropolis of Lindos which is spectacularly set
overlooking the bluest of seas.
