First Announcement and Call for Papers
THE FIRST CONFERENCE ON
VISUALIZATION IN BIOMEDICAL COMPUTING
Ritz-Carlton Buckhead Hotel
Atlanta, Georgia
May 22-25, 1990
Sponsored by/in cooperation with:
National Science Foundation
IEEE Computer Society
American Association of Physicists in Medicine
Georgia Institute of Technology
Emory University School of Medicine
Emory-Georgia Tech Biomedical Technology Research Center
Theme:
Visualization in scientific and engineering research is a rapidly emerging
discipline aimed at developing tools and approaches to facilitate the
interpretation of, and interaction with, large amounts of data, thereby
allowing researchers to "see" and comprehend, in a new and deeper manner,
the systems they are studying. This conference, the first of its kind, is
aimed at bringing together researchers working in various aspects of
visualization in order to present and discuss approaches, tools, and
techniques associated with visualization science in general, and visualization
in biomedical computing in particular.
Topics:
o Theories and approaches
Models of visualization
Representation of multidimensional parameters
Psychological aspects of visualization
Perception
Cognition
Human/machine interface
Artificial intelligence in visualization
Computer vision and image processing
Graphics and display
Visual communications and televisualization
Courses and training in visualization
o Applications, techniques, tools
Visualization in
Modeling and simulation of biomedical processes
Diagnostic radiology
Molecular biology and genetics
Neurophysiology
Prosthetics development
Radiation treatment planning
Education
o Other related topics
