<b>VCBM 2014<br>
Eurographics Workshop on Visual Computing for Biology and Medicine<br>
4.-5. September 2014, Vienna, Austria<br>
<br>
Call for Papers </b><o:p></o:p>
<p>* Aims and Scope<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>EG VCBM is a bi-annual event addressing state-of-the-art visual
computing research with a strong focus on applications in biology
and medicine. EG VCBM is unique, as it provides a highly
interdisciplinary forum for experts from computer graphics,
visualization, computer vision, visual analytics, human computer
interfaces and end users from biology and medicine jointly working
on next generation visual computing solutions for healthcare and
the biotechnology sector.<br>
More information can be found at <a href="http://www.vcbm.org/">http://www.vcbm.org/</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>EG VCBM solicits the submission of original application-oriented
research papers that advance the fusion of visual computing
methods within imaging-based medicine and biological science. All
papers should focus on a well-defined biological or medical
problem, and should demonstrate a significant innovation or
improvement in visual computing.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>* Information for Authors<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>All submitted papers will run through a one-stage peer-review
process. Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop and
will appear in the EG-published printed conference proceedings.
The authors of the best three papers will be invited to submit an
extended article version of their paper as journal publication to<a
