[vtkusers] DEADLINE: Open-source and open-data workshop at MICCAI 2006

[Stephen R. Aylward]

*** The paper submission deadline is approaching for the "Open-source 
and open data for medical imaging analysis and computer-assisted 
intervention" workshop at MICCAI, 2006 ***

*** Open science is going to have a greater influence on the field of 
medical image analysis over the next ten years than any other techical 
achievement.   Come to the open-science workshop to present and learn 
more about available and upcoming open science resources, and how 
cutting-edge clinical research uses them. ***


UPDATE
======
Papers are nominally due July 1.   HOWEVER, if you "promise" to also 
contribute two reviews to other papers submitted to the open workshop, 
then you may submit papers up to July 10th!

DETAILS
=======

     The Insight Software Consortium (ISC) and
     The National Alliance for Medical Image Computing (NA-MIC)
are hosting a one-day MICCAI workshop that will feature oral and
poster presentations on open-source toolkits and applications as
well as freely available data.

We strongly encourage researchers with papers accepted at MICCAI to
submit companion papers on the role of open-source software in their
MICCAI research.   Papers related to medical image analysis research
not presented at MICCAI are also welcome!

The wiki for this workshop is located at:

*** ATTEND ***

Our goal is to make this conference "nearly free."   Unlike last
year, due to higher conference service fees, it is not possible for
authors (or organizers) to receive free attendance.  The attendance
fee will match the conference service fee being charged to us.

...The fee to us and therefore the fee to you has been set at 50 euro 
per person....
