Dear Colleague,
Within the ISVC08 - International Symposium on Visual Computing (http://www.isvc.net), to be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, in December 1-3, 2008, we are organizing the Special Track “Computational Bioimaging and Visualization”. The main goal of the Special Track “Computational Bioimaging and Visualization” is to bring together researchers involved in the related fields (Image Acquisition, Image Segmentation, Objects Tracking, Objects Matching, Shape Reconstruction, Motion and Deformation Analysis, Medical Imaging, Scientific Visualization, Software Development, Grid Computing, etc.), in order to set the major lines of development for the near future. Therefore, this Special Track will bring researchers representing various fields related to Computational Vision, Computer Graphics, Computational Mechanics, Scientific Visualization, Mathematics, Statistics, Medical Imaging, etc. Thus, it will endeavor to contribute to obtain better solutions for more realistic computational “living” models from images, and attempts to establish a bridge between the researchers from these diverse fields. Due to your research activities in those fields, we would like to invite you to submit your work and participate in the Special Track “Computational Bioimaging and Visualization”. Topics In this Special Track the following topics will be considered (not limited to): - Image Processing and Analysis for Computational Bioimaging and Visualization; - Segmentation, Reconstruction, Tracking and Motion Analyse in Medical Images; - Biomedical Signal and Image Acquisition and Processing; - Objects Simulation and Virtual Reality; - Computer Aided Diagnosis, Surgery, Therapy, Treatment and Telemedicine Systems; - Software Development for Computational Bioimaging and Visualization; - Grid and High Performance Computing for Computational Bioimaging and Visualization. Submission/Proceedings Instructions for authors are available in the website of ISVC'08 (http://www.isvc.net/author.html). Authors should submit electronically their contributions through the website of ISVC'08 (http://www.isvc.net), selecting the Special Track “Computational Bioimaging and Visualization”. Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings which will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Important dates - Submission deadline: July 21, 2008; - Notification of acceptance: September 1, 2008; - Camera-ready version: September 15, 2008.
