Clinical engineering computing applications

In the future, it is anticipated that clinical engineering departments will provide assistance in the application and management of many other technologies that support patient care, including computer support (which includes the development ofvirtual instrumentation), telecommunications, and facilities operations.

The applications and the importance of optimization go behind the operation research discipline. In 2011 Internet search engines report 113 journals in Elsevier and 88 journals in Springer having as key word optimization (or optimisation). Almost all the scientific disciplines can be affected by optimization. Scientific journals cover optimization, for instance, in computer science, energy, food processing, graphical models, banking, process control, chemistry, biochemistry, clinics, and so on.
