[Call for Papers - VGTC]

=== VCBM 2017 Call for Papers ===
http://www.vcbm.org/
Eurographics Workshop on Visual Computing for Biology and Medicine 2017
in Bremen, Germany

*) Workshop Dates: September 7-8, 2017
*) Submission Deadline: June 19, 2017


== Aims and Scope ==
EG VCBM (http://www.vcbm.org/), the Eurographics Workshop on Visual
Computing for Biology and
Medicine, is an annual event addressing the state of the art in visual
computing research with a
strong focus on applications in biology and medicine. It provides an
interdisciplinary forum for
experts (researchers and practitioners) from visualization, visual
analytics, computer graphics,
image processing, computer vision, human computer interfaces as well as
experts from biology and
medicine, jointly working on next generation visual computing solutions for
medicine, healthcare
and the biotechnology sector. This yearís workshop (already the 7th VCBM
since its foundation in
2008) will be held during September 7-8, 2017, in Bremen, Germany.

EG VCBM solicits the submission of original, application-oriented research
papers that advance the
fusion of visual computing methods within medicine and biology. All papers
(regular papers as well
as short papers) should focus on a well-defined biological/medical problem,
and demonstrate a
significant innovation or improvement in visual computing.

Suggested topics for papers include, but are not limited to:

*) Visual computing solutions for medical applications like radiology,
surgery, pathology,
cardiology, nephrology, neurology, etc., including medical education

*) Visual computing solutions for applications that support biomedical
research in systems biology,
*omics research, molecular pathology, neuroanatomy, biomedical imaging, etc.

*) Medical simulation and visual computing solutions that support new
approaches in computational
medicine, including also the uses of stereoscopy and haptics

*) Visualization approaches for data from new or challenging imaging
modalities including real-time
imaging (e.g., ultrasound)
*) Visual computing solutions in the context of the virtual physiological
human

*) Survey papers on visual computing in biology and medicine


Methods might include, but are not limited to:

*) Visualization and analysis of all kinds of biomedical data (signals and
images)

*) Visualization, mining and analysis of biomedical data collections,
including cohort data

*) Information visualization of medical data sets, e.g., electronic health
records

*) Computer models of biomechanical, physiological, and biochemical
functions in living systems

*) Fusion, analysis and visualization of heterogeneous and/or multi-source
data

*) Multi-scale methods and data structures for large data

*) Interaction and design of visual computing workflows in medicine and
biology

*) Data tracking and registration

*) Data reconstruction and geometry extraction

*) Real time rendering and interaction with anatomy models


== Information for Authors ==

In addition to full-length papers, there will be again a short papers
track, encouraging scientific
contributions from an even more diverse group of researchers and
practitioners. All VCBM 2017
papers (full and short) will be peer-reviewed and will appear in the
Eurographics Digital Library.

*) Full Papers: Full papers are up to 10 pages in length (including
references) and describe
original research contributions in the areas outlined above. The authors of
the best three papers
will be invited to submit an extended article version of their paper as
journal publication to
Computer Graphics Forum.

*) Short Papers: Short papers describe a more focused and concise research
contribution and are
likely to have a smaller - yet significant - scope of contribution.
Potential examples include the
presentation of initial results from novel ongoing research projects or the
exploration of new
application areas. Short papers draw from the same list of topics as full
papers. Their length is
limited to a total of 5 pages (including references).

VCBM 2017 will also feature a poster program, the details of which will be
announced in a separate
call.


== Submission Instructions ==

Papers can be submitted using the Eurographics SRM conference management
system here:
https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/VCBM_2017

Login with your existing SRM account, or create a new one using the
relevant links. Papers can be
up to 10 pages (for full papers) or 5 pages (for short papers) and should
be prepared using the
Eurographics style. More details can be found on the SRM web page. Please
note that the reviewing
process will be double-blind, so take care to anonymize your submission.

More information on the preparation of your submissions will also be
available on the VCBM 2017
website: http://www.vcbm.org/


== Important Dates ==

*) Paper submission deadline (full and short papers): June 19, 2017
*) Author notification: July 22, 2017
*) Camera-ready deadline: August 14, 2017
*) Workshop: September 7-8, 2017

All deadlines are at 23:59 CET (UTC+1).
