Digital Human Modeling for Design & Engineering (DHMC)
The annual Digital Human Modeling for Design & Engineering Conference (DHMC) is administered by SAE International with primary support coming from SAE's Human Modeling and G-13 Committee on Human Modeling Technology. The conference will provide an international forum for the exchange of new and significant technical information about the development and the application of digital human models. In addition, this event will provide an environment for critical discussion and sharing of information among scientists, industry users and developers of digital human models. Papers from international organizations are welcome and encouraged.
Workshop on Multi-Scale Muscle Mechanics
In the workshop, we will explore the mechanical properties of muscles at spatial scales ranging from molecular to in vivo, multi-muscle/multi-joint systems. From Proteins to Sarcomeres; From Sarcomeres to Fibers; From Fibers to Whole Muscles; From Muscles to the Muscle-tendon Unit; From Muscle-tendon Units to Multi-joint Systems; and using Computational Modeling of Muscle from Proteins to Multi-joint Systems.
World Congress on Biomechanics (WCB)
The 6th World Congress of Biomechanics will be hosted by Biomedical Engineering Society of Singapore (BES) together with the Global Enterprise for Micromechanics and Molecular Medicine (GEM4) and the National University of Singapore (NUS).
We are expecting over 2,000 delegates from all over the World, especially from the Asia Pacific region to attend this congress. Biomechanics covers a wide field such as organ mechanics, tissue mechanics, cell mechanics to molecular mechanics.

International Journal of Human Factors Modelling and Simulation (IJHFMS)
Special Issue: "Application of Digital Human Modelling Tools in User Centred Design Processes"
Accepting papers until October 1, 2009
This special issue will focus on the application, functionality and usability of digital human modelling (DHM) and other human visualisation and simulation techniques in industrial and other professional development processes. The aim of the special issue is to present the current state of the field in terms of application examples and research and to inspire discussion on the future direction of DHM. This in turn should identify the research needed in order to meet the objectives for DHM tools to successfully contribute to user centred design processes and fit within the overall goal of enhanced quality of life and a sustainable development.

Handbook of Digital Human Modeling: Research for Applied Ergonomics and Human Factors Engineering
The rapid introduction of sophisticated computers, services, telecommunications systems, and manufacturing systems has caused a major shift in the way people use and work with technology. It is not surprising that computer-aided modeling has emerged as a promising method for ensuring products meet the requirements of the consumer. The Handbook of Digital Human Modeling provides comprehensive coverage of the theory, tools, and methods to effectively achieve this objective.

Multiscale Muscle Mechanics Lab
The goal of the M3 Lab's research is to identify the principles of muscle design by characterizing the relationships between muscle structure, mechanical properties, biology, and function. We are integrating a variety of computational and experimental approaches to achieve this goal, and we are applying our findings to understanding and improving treatments for musculoskeletal impairments.
Stanford Biomechanical Engineering (BME)
The Biomechanical Engineering (BME) Group offers research and teaching programs that focus on the application of mechanical engineering principles to biology and medicine. Biomechanical Engineering at Stanford has maintained a leadership position in the field by defining itself at multiple length scales including: the cell, tissue, organ, and the physiological systems level. A key element of the program is that research and education approaches are motivated by clinical applications of fundamental principles. Thus the group fosters a multidisciplinary approach that includes strong interactions with the school of medicine as well as other engineering disciplines.

ArtiSynth - 3D Biomechanical Modeling Toolkit for Physical Simulation of Anatomical Structures
ArtiSynth is a 3D biomechanical simulation platform directed toward modelling the vocal tract and upper airway. It provides an open-source, cross-platform environment in which researchers can create and interconnect various kinds of dynamic and parametric models to form a complete integrated biomechanical system that is capable of articulatory speech synthesis.
MeVisLab - Medical Visualization Processing and Visualization
MeVisLab represents a powerful, modular framework for the development of image processing algorithms and visualization and interaction methods, with a special focus on medical imaging.
Besides basic image processing and visualization modules, MeVisLab includes advanced medical imaging algorithms for segmentation, registration, and quantitative morphological and functional image analysis.
SimTK - Simulation Toolkit
Simtk.org is the home of the software framework initiated and developed by Simbios, the National NIH Center for Biomedical Computing focusing on Physics-based Simulation of Biological Structures. Simtk.org represents a centralized organization, a place, where like-minded people can gather to collectively pursue their interests in research areas, related to physics-based simulation of biological structures. One important goal is for Simtk.org to serve as a repository for models that are published (as well as the associated code) to create a "living" archive of simulation scholarship. Hence, anyone interested in physics-based simulation in biomedicine can come to the site and find the right project.
