[Insight-developers] NON-REPRODUCIBLE MICCAI-2010

Lagging behind IEEE CVPR,
 the call for paper for MICCAI 2010
 is
 once again
 lacking a requirement
 for REPRODUCIBLE research.


 One year more of inefficient knowledge transfer,
 where readers (you) will have to spend months
 (thousands of dollars) trying to rebuild from scratch
 what authors report in their incomplete papers.

 Another year of more than 800 papers published:
 without data
 without source code
 without parameters
 without Open Access
 not even with hyperlinks...

 Promoting Medical research by using outdated
 publishing technology from the 18th century.

 Papers whose only purpose
 is to be cited by future papers.

  The time for change is overdue:

Dear All,

The 13th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and
Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI2010) will be held from 20th
to 24th September 2010 in Beijing, China. MICCAI attracts annually
world leading scientists, engineers and clinicians from a wide range
of disciplines associated with medical imaging and computer assisted
surgery.

You are highly encouraged to submit papers for the conference and/or
a proposal for the workshop and tutorial session. If you want to know
more detailed information, please visit the MICCAI2010 website:

MICCAI 2010 – First Call for Papers
20th-24th September 2010, Beijing, China

MICCAI 2010, the 13th International Conference on Medical Image
Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention, will be held from
20th to 24th September 2010 in Beijing, China. The venue for
MICCAI 2010 is the China National Convention Center (CNCC).
Located in the Beijing Olympic Green, the CNCC is right next to
the Bird's Nest (China National Stadium), the Water Cube
(National Aquatics Center) and the National Indoor Stadium.

Topics to be addressed in MICCAI 2010 include, but are not limited to:

General Medical Image Computing
Computer Assisted Interventional Systems and Robotics
Visualization and Interaction
General Biological Image Computing
Brain and Neuroscience Image Computing
Computational Anatomy (statistics on anatomy)
Computational Physiology (virtual organs)
Innovative Clinical/Biological Applications and Surgical Procedures


 Important Dates
 1 February 2010                Tutorial and workshop proposals
 1 March 2010                    Acceptance of tutorials and workshops
 11 March 2010                  Submission of full papers
 20-22 April 2010                Rebuttal of reviews
 18 May 2010                     Notification of acceptance
 18 June 2010                    Camera ready copy of papers due
 20-24 September 2010       Tutorials, Conference, Workshops

Submission of Papers
We invite electronic submissions for MICCAI 2010 (LNCS style, double
blind review)
of up to 8-page papers for oral or poster presentation. Papers will be reviewed
by members of the programme review committee and assessed for quality and
best means of presentation. Besides advances in methodology, we would also
like to encourage submission of papers that demonstrate clinical relevance,
clinical applications, and validation studies.

Proposals for Tutorials and Workshops
Tutorials will be held and will complement and enhance the scientific programme
of MICCAI 2010. The purpose of the tutorials is to provide educational material
for training new professionals in the field including students,
engineers, clinicians
and new researchers. The purpose of the workshops is to provide a comprehensive
forum on topics that will not be fully explored during the main conference.
