[vtkusers] Open Source Workshop at MICCAI 2006

[Stephen R. Aylward]

     The Insight Software Consortium (ISC) and
     The National Aliance 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.
