CALL FOR PAPERS:

Submission Deadline: July 1, 2005

Acceptance Notification: August 1, 2005

Camera-Ready Copy: August 15, 2005

With the rapid increase in the variety and quantity of biomedical imaging
in the past few years, we see a growing number of computer vision
technologies applied in biomedical applications. The time is ripe for us
to take a closer look at the successes and lessons learned in this
research sub-domain, and to strategically position our future research
directions. The scientific goal of this workshop is to examine the effects
of diverse applications of computer vision techniques to biomedical image
applications, considering both current methods and promising new trends. A
novel workshop format will be used to enforce three additional goals of
providing the opportunity for direct interactions between (1) prominent
senior researchers with young scientists, including students,
post-doctoral associates and junior faculty; (2) local researchers with
international leaders in biomedical image analysis; and (3) computer
scientists with medical doctors. Each contributed paper must be authored
primarily by a young scientist, and should reflect an in-depth
understanding of both the biomedical image analysis problem being
addressed and the computer vision techniques being applied.  Accepted
papers will be included in a printed proceeding as a book series, Lecture
Notes of Computer Science published (www.springeronline.com/lncs) by
Springer. Please submit your paper, no more than 10 pages, in LNCS format.
