Preface

The area of biological systems and materials is a growing research field ofimmense importance. The possibility to predict or even to influence the ‘lifetime’of parts of the human body or to offer adequate replacements in the case of failuredirectly influences our entire well-being. In many cases, this becomes more andmore important at higher age when joints or other parts must be replaced in orderto guarantee an adequate mobility and function of our body. To adopt themechanical performance of structural parts of our body or to offer alternatives ifthey do no more function properly in order to meet the general biological lifeexpectancy is a great challenge which requires joint efforts of many academicdisciplines. On the other hand, our environment affects biological systems in theshort or long-time range and avoiding negative influence and impact on any livingsystem is a topic of many challenging investigations. Furthermore, many materialsand structures seen in living organisms, i.e. human body, animals, and plants, areoptimized to an extend which is still difficult to achieve for artificial materials andstructures. Thus, learning from nature is nowadays a new direction to overcomelimitations of classical engineering materials.

The 5th International Conference on Advanced Computational Engineering andExperimenting, ACE-X 2011, was held in Algarve, Portugal, from 3 to 6 July, 2011with a strong focus on bio related topics. This conference served as an excellentplatform for the engineering community to meet with each other and to exchangethe latest ideas. This volume contains 18 revised and extended research articleswritten by experienced researchers participating in the conference. The book willoffer the state-of-the-art of tremendous advances in developments of materials fordrug delivery, dental implants and filling materials, biocompatible membranes,bioactive surface coatings, and bio-compatible and eco-sustainable buildingmaterials. Furthermore, biosystems such as microorganisms, the human eye, themusculoskeletal system and human body parts and respective replacements aresubjects of the contributions.
