VCBM 2019 Call for Papers
http://www.vcbm.org/
Eurographics Workshop on Visual Computing for Biology and Medicine 2019 in
Brno, Czech Republic
*) Workshop Dates: September 4-6, 2019
*) Submission Deadline: June 14, 2019
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 years workshop (already the 9th VCBM since its
foundation in 2008) will be held during September 4-6, 2019, in Brno, Czech
Republic.
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 full and short 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.
*) Operation room of the future, including the uses of virtual reality and
augmented reality in medical applications.
*) 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. Medical simulation and visual computing solutions that support new
approaches in computational medicine.
*) Visual analytics solutions for data coming from epidemiological studies,
like population studies.
In addition to that, we solicit:
*) Survey papers on visual computing in biology and medicine
Information for Authors
In addition to full-length papers, there will be again a short papers track
and a survey track, encouraging scientific contributions from an even more
diverse group of researchers and practitioners. All VCBM 2019 papers (full,
short and surveys) will be peer-reviewed and will appear in the Eurographics
Digital Library.
We encourage the use of digital videos to support all submissions,
particularly if part of, or all of the work covers interactive techniques.
Please use only the most common video codecs such as MP4 to maximize the
chances that the reviewers can view it.
*) Full Papers: We do not impose strict maximum lengths for submitted papers
to the full papers track. However, it is unusual for papers to exceed 10
pages (in CGF latex style including all images and references). Papers
should only be as long as their content would justify. Reviewers might rate
a submission lower if it is perceived as being unnecessarily long or might
recommend it for a short paper, instead. Authors are encouraged to use
supplementary material, such as videos or executable programs to provide
extra contents.
As in previous years, the authors of the best three papers will be invited
by the Computer Graphics Forum (CGF) journal to submit a revised version,
which needs to have a significant amount of novel material, and be within
the focus subjects of the CGF journal.
*) 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).
*) Surveys: We do not impose strict maximum lengths for submitted papers to
the surveys track. However, it is unusual for surveys to exceed 20 pages (in
CGF latex style including all images and references). Authors are encouraged
to use supplementary material, such as videos, to provide extra contents.
Surveys are also eligible for the CGF journal invitation.
VCBM 2019 will also feature a poster program, the details of which will be
announced in a separate call.
