1st Call for Papers:<br><br><b>Workshop on Systems and Architectures for Computer Assisted Interventions</b><br><br>In conjunction with MICCAI 2012<br> - October 5, 2012, in Nice, France<br><br><a href="https://visr.lcsr.jhu.edu/wiki/index.php/Sacai2012">https://visr.lcsr.jhu.edu/wiki/index.php/Sacai2012</a><br>
===============================================================<br><br>CALL FOR PAPERS<br><br>The goal of this workshop is to establish a forum for discussing systems and architectures for computer assisted intervention (CAI) applications. Continuing the success of the last three years, the workshop will focus on open interfaces, interoperability, and<br>
standards. In addition, this year, we will discuss practical issues, clinical applications and future directions of CAI systems and<br>frameworks. As in the previous years, this workshop will include strong participation from industry and academia.<br>
<br>Topics of interest will include but are not limited to:<br><br>-Architectures and Frameworks for Computer Assisted Interventions<br>-Systems integration and the digital operating room<br>-Applications for computer assisted surgery<br>
-Progress and status of standardization efforts, such as DICOM, IHE, CANopen, and ISO 11073<br>-Regulatory and liability issues and solutions for the modularization of CAI systems<br>-Open issues in the standardization process, e.g. semantics, standardized descriptions of components and device communication <br>
-Opportunities for further integration and interoperability<br>-Discussion of successes and unmet needs<br><br>We encourage the submission of full papers (min. 4, max. 8 pages) in Midas Journal format. Papers will be reviewed by the workshop<br>
committee. Accepted papers will be presented as plenary talks and will be included in a special issue of the Midas Journal.<br><br>-------------------------------------------------------------<br>Important dates:<br><br>Paper submission: June 7, 2012<br>
