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.
