This Symposium was organised by the University of Reims Champagne Ardenne and the Société de l’Electricité, de l’Electronique et des TIC (SEE).
The Symposium attracted practitioners in engineering, information technology, mathematics, medicine and biology, and other related disciplines, with authors from 24 countries. Besides the abstracts of the four plenary lectures, this volume contains the 92 papers that were presented by their authors at the Symposium The papers included two invited keynote presentations given by internationally prominent and well-recognised research leaders: Claudio Cobelli, whose talk is titled "Dynamic modelling in diabetes: from whole body to genes"; and Irving J. Bigio, whose talk is titled "Elastic scattering spectroscopy for non-invasive detection of cancer". Two prestigious industrial speakers were also invited to give keynote presentations: Terry O'Brien from LIDCO, whose talk is titled "LIDCO: From the laboratory to protocolized goal directed therapy"; and Lorenzo Quinzio of Philips, whose talk is titled "Clinical decision support in monitoring and information systems". A valuable source of information on the state-of- the-art in Modelling and Control in Biomedical Systems
Including abstracts of four plenary lectures, and 92 papers presented by their authors For those interested in the proceedings from one of the most prestigious international events of IFAC (International Federation of Automatic Control) Biomedical & Multimedia Information Technology (BMIT) Research Group, School of Information Technologies, University of Sydney, and Centre for Multimedia Signal Processing, Department of Electronic & Information Engineering, Hong Kong Polytechnic University LAM, UFR Sciences Exactes et naturelles, Moulin de la Housse, FranceA road movie pairing enemies who must help each other in order to survive, “Zaytoun” again finds Israeli filmmaker Eran Riklis (“The Syrian Bride,” “The Lemon Tree”) dramatizing political conflicts in the Middle East and spreading blame for the strife around freely. It’s less allegorical than his best-known films, offering a literal, even simplistic plot whose observations about the cycle of violence are hardly new.
They’re embodied in sensitive performances, though, including one from Stephen Dorff, better known for American indies and the occasional action flick than for world cinema. Dorff plays Yoni, an Israeli fighter pilot whose plane is shot down over Beirut in 1982. A group of Palestinian refugees capture him, locking him in a makeshift jail sometimes guarded by a group of kids. Among them is Fahed (Abdallah El Akal), whose father died recently as a result of Israeli bombing. Fahed never openly accuses Yoni of killing his father, but the idea is clearly on his mind; he’s noticeably more hostile than his friends, who are hardly welcoming (their race-you-home taunt is “last one back is a rotten Israeli!”). In a moment of pique, he shoots Yoni in the leg. Only after doing so does he realize this now-wounded man could, if freed, help Fahed sneak across the border to his familial home in a place he still refers to as Palestine. They strike an angry bargain. Getting to Israel isn’t easy for a mixed pair who trigger suspicion or worse in everyone who sees them.
Palestinian, Syrian and Lebanese soldiers threaten them; cab drivers cheat them; and for most of the trip, Yoni tries to ditch the boy. But as happens in movies of this sort, they stick together long enough to become friends. As the most immediate dangers subside, the film addresses increasingly sentimental concerns: Yoni’s pregnant wife awaits his rescue; Fahed carries an olive sapling his father dreamed of planting near their old house. But Riklis isn’t heavy-handed here, and even when the film’s plot grows a little unlikely, its tone is never sappy. That’s partly due to El Akal’s performance, which keeps humor in check and is informed by too much real-world loss to ever be cute. Dorff’s relative fame doesn’t prevent him from playing his role credibly, and might help with American audiences who feel the pair’s travails play out with less excitement than the high-danger setting might suggest.
