Modeling and Simulation of Biomedical Applications with the DEVS formalism @ Mackenzie Building Room 3356
Oct 6 @ 12:00 – 13:00

Speaker: Dr. Gabriel Wainer, Prof. Systems and Computer Engineering, Carleton Univ, Ottawa

Date: 6th Oct 2014

Time: 1200-1300 hrs

Place: Mackenzie Building Room 3356, Carleton Univ

Parking: Need to pay

Admission: Free

Registration: Not required

Abstract:

Recent advances in computer technology have influenced simulation techniques to become an effective approach to understand physical systems. In recent years, grid-shaped cellular models have gained popularity in this sense. In particular, the DEVS formalism has been widely used with these purposes.

In this presentation we will show how to use the DEVS formalism and Cell-DEVS and their use in Biomedical applications. We will focus on varied examples on how to model different examples of application, and discuss open research issues in this area. We will start with an introduction to different models in physics (diffusion, binary solidification, excitable media, surface tension, etc.). We will then show some examples of the current use of the methodology in a model of heart tissue simulation, synapsin-vesicle interaction in nerve terminals and in models of artery clogging. We will focus in showing how the application of these techniques can improve model definition. We will also focus in describing how to create models that can be executed automatically in a parallel environment without any modifications to the original models, or user intervention. We will finally discuss current open topics in the area, which include advanced methods for centralized, parallel or distributed execution of the models.

Surgical Simulator – An Emerging Approach to Surgery Training @ Carleton University, Tory Bld. Rm. 202
Feb 6 @ 12:00 – 13:00

Speaker(s): Dr. Peter Liu, Professor, Systems and Computer Engineering, Carleton University

Date/Time: Feburary 6, 2015 12:00 – 13:00

Location: Tory Building Room 202, Carleton University

Parking: Paid parking available (P2 suggested)

Registration: Not required.

Organizer: James Green, SCE, Carleton University

Organized by: EMBS-Ottawa

Abstract:

At present, surgical residents develop required hands-on skills mainly through trials on animals, cadavers and patients. These training approaches, however, have obvious disadvantages: animals have different anatomies from humans; cadavers are unable to provide appropriate physiological responses; it is risky when students practice on patients. With recent advances in haptics, computer graphics and virtual reality, surgical simulators have great potential to overcome these problems. In this talk, the current development of surgical simulators will be reviewed. The main challenges and difficulties will be explained. In particular, we will focus on issues such as tissue modelling, visual feedback and haptic interaction.
