It is our pleasure to announce the


Workshop on Systems and Architectures for Computer Assisted Interventions

at

the 12th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and
Computer Assisted Intervention ( MICCAI-2009 )
South Kensington Campus, Imperial College London
London, UK

The goal of this workshop is to establish a forum for discussing open
interfaces, interoperability, and standards for the development of
computer assisted intervention systems. The workshop extends the
successful dialog at the “Systems and Architectures” workshop at
MICCAI 2008 in New York City. The 2008 workshop focused on toolkits.
The current 2009 edition emphasizes the importance of open interfaces
and standards as they will be the key factors towards better
interoperability, resulting in more innovative and reliable solutions.
As in previous editions, this workshop will include strong
participation from industry and academia. Topics for presentation and
discussion at the workshop will include challenges for research
interfaces to commercial systems (e.g., regulatory, liability), the
progress and status of formal standardization efforts (e.g., DICOM,
CANopen, and ISO 11073) as well as efforts in the research community
(e.g., OpenIGTLink and SAW), opportunities for further integration and
interoperability, and discussion of successes and unmet needs.

You are kindly invited to submit your work within the aims and scope
of the workshop. Submissions must include at least an abstract, but
may be up to 8 pages in Midas Journal format. Papers will be reviewed
by the workshop committee and accepted papers will be included in a
special issue of the Midas Journal.

Additional details are available at the workshop web site
