The VCBM Paper submission deadline (for full/short papers and surveys) has been extended to July 17. EG VCBM 2020 �C Call for Papers http://www.vcbm.org/ Eurographics Workshop on Visual Computing for Biology and Medicine 2020 (co-located with DAGM GCPR 2020 & VMV 2020) Given the current COVID-19 situation, we decided to turn to a virtual format. * Workshop Dates: September 28 - October 1, 2020 * Submission Deadline: July 17, 2020 **new** 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 10th VCBM since its foundation in 2008) will be held from September 28 to October 1, 2020. EG VCBM 2020 will be held together with VMV (the International Symposium on Vision, Modeling, and Visualization), and DAGM GCPR (the German Conference on Pattern Recognition). 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 2020 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 content. * 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 content. VCBM 2020 will also feature a poster and an image contest 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: https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/VCBM_2020 More information on the preparation of your submissions will also be available on the VCBM 2020 website: <http://www.vcbm.org/> http://www.vcbm.org/ Important Dates * Paper submission deadline (full, short and survey papers): July 17, 2020 **new** * Author notification: August 14, 2020 **new** * Camera-ready deadline: August 28, 2020 * Workshop: September 28 - October 1, 2020 All deadlines are at 23:59 CET (UTC+1). Sincerely, the Full Paper Co-Chairs of EG VCBM 2020, Barbora Kozlikova (Masaryk University, Czech Republic) Michael Krone (University of T��bingen, Germany) Noeska Smit (University of Bergen, Norway) together with the Short Paper Co-Chairs of EG VCBM 2020, Kay Nieselt (University of T��bingen, Germany) Renata Georgia Raidou (TU Wien, Austria)
