[Luca Antiga]

Dear all,
   below find an announcement that could be of interest for part of  
the community.

Summer School: From Images to Computational Hemodynamics,
http://simula.no/research/scientific/cbc/events/2009/images_comp

Place and dates: Simula Research Laboratory, Norway, 8-10 June, 2009.

Registration before March 1, 2009 at
http://forms.simula.no/registration_for_CBC_summer_school_2009

Abstract:
Patient-specific modeling of blood vessel anatomy and hemodynamics is a
promising tool that may aid clinicians in their decision-making and, as
such, it is a current hot-topic in computational life-sciences. In this
summer school we will focus on two open source tools, vmtk (the Vascular
Modeling Toolkit, based on VTK and ITK) for creating patient-specific  
geometries
and FEniCS for performing flow computations.
Particular emphasis is put on hands-on sessions in which participants  
will
learn to master the tools under guidance by their very creators.

Organizers:  Kent-Andre Mardal, Luca Antiga, Anders Logg
