MICCAI 2012: Fifth International Workshop on Systems and Architectures
for Computer Assisted Interventions (SACAI)

https://visr.lcsr.jhu.edu/wiki/index.php/Sacai2012

The submission deadline has been extended to June 20.

Overview
-----------
Open interfaces/frameworks increase the pace of research and discovery
by promoting collaborations within and between clinicians, biomedical
engineers, and software developers. These systems usually employ
modular architectures to model the complexity involved in surgical
assistance systems. Hence, standards are critical to allow for
cross-framework interoperability of systems, and modules. 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 series, the workshop will focus on open
interfaces, interoperability, and standards. In addition, this year,
we will discuss clinical applications and future directions of CAI
systems and frameworks. The workshop will continue to include the
robust discussion between industry and academia.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
---------------------------------------------------------
Architectures and Frameworks for Computer Assisted Interventions --
including dissemination of such frameworks and applications and use
cases of such architectures.
Systems integration and the digital operating room
Applications for computer assisted surgery
Progress and status of standardization efforts, such as DICOM, IHE,
CANopen, ISO 11073, MD FIRE, MD ICE, IEC 80001
Open issues in the standardization process, e.g. semantics,
standardized descriptions of components and device communication
Regulatory and liability issues and solutions for the modularization
of CAI systems
Opportunities for further integration and interoperability
Discussion of successes and unmet needs

A PDF call for contributions is attached. The submission system for
the MIDAS journal is accessible at :
http://www.insight-journal.org/browse/journal/65 .

The journal special issue will keep all submissions confidential
unless accepted for presentation
to permit authors to resubmit their work. All contributions will be
reviewed by three reviewers,
and outstanding contributions will be selected as interactive
presentations, podium presentations
or posters.

Deadlines:
------------
Submission: June 20, 2012 (Extended)
Availability of Reviews: July 7, 2012
Workshop: October 5, 2012
