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 five previous
symposia
ISRACAS'98 ,
ISRACAS'99 ,
ISRACAS'2000 ,
ISRACAS'2001 ,
and ISRACAS'2002 ,
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
Computer-Aided Surgery.
The symposium will take
place in one day, from 8:30 to 17:30. It will consist of two invited
talks by internationally recognized experts, a special clinical
presentation, 18 paper presentations, 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.
