Symposium on Physiological System Identification and Modeling; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, November 2, 1990

复杂系统的数学建模通常考虑两类系统分析，称为线性系统分析和非线性系统分析。大多数生物系统都具有使它们具有非线性的特性，这使得它们非常有趣，但同时也很难建模。这次研讨会旨在让工程师和生物学家参与讨论一些当前的问题和最先进的方法，这些方法在生物线性和非线性系统的识别和分析中都是有用的。这次会议将成为一次重要的交叉学科，将对生物学和生物医学工程的基础和应用方面产生影响。

Mathematical modelling of complex systems often considers two general classes of systems analysis, termed linear and non- linear. Most biological systems have properties that make them non-linear, which makes them very interesting but at the same time very difficult to model. This symposium is designed to involve engineers and biologists, in considering some of the current issues and state-of-the-art approaches that can be useful in both identification and analysis of biological linear and non-linear systems. This conference will serve as an important cross-disciplinary fertilization that will have impact on biology and biomedical engineering, in both basic and applied aspects.
