The goal of the Symposium is to convene in Israel clinicians, scientists,
and engineers actively interested in medical imaging, computer science, and
robotics, and their application to the planning, monitoring, and execution
of medical surgeries. The symposium is the sequel of four previous
symposia
ISRACAS'98 ,
ISRACAS'99 ,
ISRACAS'2000 ,
and ISRACAS'2001 .
Each was attended by over 150 participants including
clinicians, industry, and engineering academia. The one-day events included
invited speakers, oral presentations of peer-reviewed papers,
industrial exhibits, and system demonstrations. Abstracts of selected
peer-reviewed papers were published in the Journal of Computer-Aided
Surgery.
The symposium will take place in one day, from 8:45AM to 5:15PM. It will
consist of two invited talks by internationally recognized experts, 12
paper presentations, a special industrial session, and project and product
exhibits.
The symposium presents relevant research in Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering,
Biomechanics, and Electrical Engineering including but not limited to:
Full-length technical papers (up to 10 pages) or extended abstracts (3-5
pages) of surveys, clinical studies, position papers, and panel topics for
presentation at the Symposium are solicited. Submissions will be reviewed
by members of the local and international program committee. Accepted
extended abstracts will be published in a preprints booklet to be
distributed to Symposium participants. In addition, abstracts of the papers
will be published in the Journal of Computer-Aided Surgery.
Authors should send electronic copies in Word (preferred), LaTeX, ASCII, or
PDF to Prof. Joskowicz at josko@cs.huji.ac.il.
One session of the symposium will be devoted to industry. The goal is to
showcase research and development activities and clinical and technical
achievements of active leading companies in the field. Selected companies
will have the opportunity to make a short technical presentation that can
be accompanied by an exhibit which will be located in the entrance hall of
the conference room.
