Workshop on Computational Biomedical Image Processing and Analysis 
(WCBIPA 2012)

In the recent years, extensive research has been performed to develop 
efficient and robust computational methods for image processing and 
analysis. These methods can be applied in numerous areas such as, 
industry, engineering, medicine, and biology, and can perform different 
tasks and address distinct goals, like image restoring, image 
enhancement, image segmentation and description, 3D reconstruction, 
deformation or motion analysis. Medicine has been one of the several 
application domains in which these computational methods can be more 
often found, particularly in supporting the medical diagnosis, the 
follow-up of pathologies and the design of superior treatment plans and 
procedures.
The main goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for discussion of 
issues related to Computational Methods for Biomedical Image Processing 
and Analysis, in order to set the major lines of development for the 
near future. As such, the workshop will consist of researches 
representing various fields related to Biomedical Engineering, 
Computational Vision, Mathematics, Medical Imaging, among others, and 
aims also to establish a network between clinicians and researchers from 
these fields.

Suggested Topics (non-exclusive):
- 3D Reconstruction and Visualization;
- Biomedical Image Analysis and Processing;
- Computational Simulation and Animation;
- Grid Computing in Biomedical Image Analysis and Processing;
- Image Acquisition, Enhancement, Restoring, Compression, Segmentation 
and Description;
- Medical Imaging;
- Motion Analysis;
- Physics of Biomedical Imaging;
- Software and Applications for Biomedical Image Processing and 
Analysis;
- Surgical Simulation.

Paper Submission and Formatting Guidelines:
Authors interested in participate and present their works in the 
workshop “Computational Biomedical Image Processing and Analysis” are 
encouraged to submit original contributions in one of the following 
formats:

Full paper: Finished or consolidated works. These papers are assigned 
to a 6-page limit.

Short paper: Ongoing works with relevant preliminary results, opened to 
discussion. These papers are assigned to a 4-page limit.

Poster paper: Initial work with relevant ideas, opened to discussion. 
These papers are assigned to a 2-page limit.

The contributions can be written either in English, Portuguese or 
Spanish, and should be submitted in PDF format using the EasyChair 
system available at 
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wcbipa2012.
All papers must follow the formatting rules of the Conference 
(http://www.aisti.eu/cisti2012/papersformat.dot). Please note that, the 
contributions to be evaluated by the Scientific Committee should not 
include authors’ identification, e-mail or affiliation (blinded 
submission).

Publication:
To ensure that the contribution (full paper, short paper, poster paper) 
is published in the Conference Proceedings, at least one of the authors 
must be fully registered until 13th of April, and the paper must comply 
with the suggested layout and the page-limit. Additionally, all 
recommended modifications must be addressed by the authors before they 
submit the final version.
No more than two contributions per registration will be published in 
the Conference Proceedings. An extra fee must be paid for each 
additional paper submitted for publication, with a maximum of two 
additional papers.
Full papers will be published in book and CD, with an ISBN. Short 
papers and poster papers will be published in CD only, with an ISBN.
Published full papers will be sent to ISI, IEEE’s XPlore, EI and EBSCO. 
Published short papers will be sent to IEEE’s XPlore, EI and to EBSCO. 
Poster papers will be sent to EBSCO only, where they will subsequently 
be indexed.

Important dates:
Paper submission: March 10, 2012;
Author Notification: March 30, 2012;
Submission of accepted papers: April 13, 2012;
Conference: June 20-23, 2012.
