Summary:

Contributors mostly from engineering and mathematics but also some medical fields provide information and insights to help future members of the medical modeling and simulation community develop and perfect a seamless mode of information transmission in the health care domain. The intended readers are graduate engineering students who are grounded in the basics of modeling and simulation, but know little about medical applications. The topics include tools of the trade, mathematical models of tumor growth and wound healing, humans as models, robotics, and patient care.
