<h3 class="entry-title">Eurographic Workshop on Visualization in
Biology and Medicine 2014</h3>
<h3 class="entry-title">2nd Call for Papers </h3>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Aims and Scope</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<p dir="ltr"> <strong>Suggested topics</strong> for papers include,
but are not limited to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Visual computing solutions for medical applications like
radiology, interventional medicine, pathology, anatomy and
medical education</li>
<li>Visual computing solutions for applications to support
biomedical research in systems biology, omics, molecular
pathology, neuroanatomy, biomedical imaging,…..</li>
<li>Survey papers on visual computing in biology and medicine</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Methods </strong>might include, but are not limited to</p>
<ul>
<li>Visualization and analysis of all kinds of biomedical (image)
data</li>
<li>Visualization, mining and analysis of biomedical data
collections</li>
<li>Fusion, analysis and visualization of heterogeneous and/or
multi-source data</li>
<li>Multi-scale methods and data structures for large data</li>
<li>Interaction and design of visual computing workflows in
medicine and biology</li>
<li>Data tracking and registration</li>
<li>Data reconstruction and geometry extraction</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Information for Authors</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">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
href="http://www.wiley.com/bw/journal.asp?ref=0167-7055">Computer
Graphics Forum</a>.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Submission Format</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">Papers can be up to 8 pages, while posters should be
submitted as a 1 page abstract. They should be prepared in the <a
href="https://srm.eg.org/SRM_VCBM12/templates/latex.zip">supplied
Eurographics style</a> and have to be submitted via the<a
href="https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/VCBM_2014"> online
submission system</a>. Login with your existing SRM account, or
create a new one using the relevant links. Detailed help on the
submission system can be found in the <a
href="https://wiki.eg.org/SRMWiki/index.php/Main_Page">SRM
manual</a>. Please note that the reviewing process will be
double-blind, so take care to anonymize your submission.</p>
