[Ieee_vis] 2nd Call for Posters - VCBM 2019 (July 20, 2019)

[Jan Byška]

(Apologies for cross-postings)

This is a friendly reminder about the approaching deadline for submitting
posters to:
Eurographics Workshop on Visual Computing for Biology and Medicine 2019 in
Brno, Czech Republic

== Important Dates ==



*) Poster abstract submission deadline: July 20, 2019

*) Author notification: August 2, 2019

*) Workshop: September 4-6, 2019

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

== 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 year’s workshop (already the 9th VCBM since
its foundation in 2008) will be held during September 4-6, 2019 in Brno,
Czech Republic.

We are also pleased that this year we accept the following types of posters:

*) Original, application-oriented research posters that advance the fusion
of visual computing methods within medicine and biology, according to the
general call that can be found at http://www.vcbm.org/.

*) Research overview posters summarizing biomedical visualization research
on topics below. This is an excellent way to highlight, for example, the
research carried out in the scope of a PhD project, to promote PhD
direction discussions with experts, or to present activities of a specific
research group.

*) Research group overview posters presenting the current research work of
an entire group or a research center. The scope of such a poster can also
include upcoming funded projects and thus even indicate open vacancies.

*) Posters describing an open research problem that may have been defined
by a domain scientist (e.g., a physician or biologist). This is a unique
opportunity to present an exciting research problem to a broad professional
audience and to promote new collaborations.

Suggested topics for posters 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

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 ==

EG VCBM 2019 continues the poster track to enable researchers to present
their work in progress, minor improvements beyond the state-of-the-art, and
the best results of the undergraduate student projects in the area of
visual computing for biology and medicine. Accepted posters will be placed
in the workshop area during the time of the event, and the program will
feature a dedicated poster session where the authors have the opportunity
to present their research and lead fruitful discussions with peer
researchers that will inspire for future research and cooperation.

In addition, accepted papers and posters have, for the first time this
year, the opportunity to be presented in a live demo session.  This unique
opportunity to present the results of current research live to a large
audience of experts is intended to promote not only fruitful expert
discussions, but also the possibility of new collaborations.

== Submission Instructions ==

The submission to the poster track at EG VCBM consists of a ½ – 1 page
abstract (12pt) optionally including pictures. The posters abstracts will
be reviewed by the poster conference chairs and the abstracts of the
accepted posters will be included in the conference publications. The
material from the poster can be re-used for a full paper submission
somewhere else and this act is not to be considered as a self-plagiarism.
Authors of the accepted posters are expected to bring their poster to the
conference, register for the conference participation, and present their
work at the poster at the time of the poster session. Please submit your
non-anonymized poster abstract submissions including authors names,
affiliations, and acknowledgments to posters-vcbm2019 at eg.org.
