[General] VMLS 2013: Call for short papers (extended abstracts)

Visualization in Medicine and Life Sciences (VMLS 2013) Leipzig, Germany June 15-17, 2013 http://www.faculty.jacobs-university.de/llinsen/vmls/2013/ *** Call for short papers (extended abstracts) *** The third international workshop on Visualization in Medicine and Life Sciences will take place in 2013 (VMLS 2013). After two successful events in 2006 and 2009, VMLS 2013 will, for the first time, be co-located with EuroVis. The goal of the workshop is to discuss novel visualization techniques driven by the needs in medicine and life sciences as well as new application areas and challenges for visualization within these fields. VMLS 2013 intends to generate ideas and concepts for visual analysis of data from scientific studies of living organs or to the delivery of healthcare. Target scientific domains include the entire field of biology at all scales - from genes and proteins to organs and populations - as well as interdisciplinary research based on technological advances such as bioinformatics, biomedicine, biochemistry, or biophysics. Moreover, they comprise the field of medicine and the application of science and technology to healthcare problems. The workshop will be organized in form of presentation sessions of invited and contributed talks and will allocate a significant amount of time to vivid discussions. We invite short papers (extended abstracts) to be submitted via the EuroVis submission system. Accepted papers will be included into the EuroVis online proceedings and presented in a formal presentation during the workshop. All presenters will be invited to submit a full paper to the postproceedings. Accepted full papers will appear in a hard-cover book within the Mathematics+Visualization series of the Springer-Verlag. Submission Deadline: March 8, 2013 https://precisionconference.com/~vlms13 The workshop will consist of two parts: . The first part (June 16-17) is by invitation only. .
