IEEE Workshop on
Mathematical Methods in Biomedical Image Analysis

MMBIA 2012
Breckenridge, Colorado
January 9-10, 2012
Introduction
Mathematical Methods in Biomedical Image Analysis (MMBIA) 2012 is the twelfth in a series of workshops on biomedical image analysis, being held in conjunction with WACV 2012 at Breckenridge, Colorado, USA. The workshop will bring together researchers in computer vision, medical imaging, computational biology, graphics and robotics communities interested in problems that involve mathematical modeling or analysis in biomedical images, which include emerging molecular and cellular images. 

The event will invite two distinguished speakers addressing exciting emerging areas in biomedical image analysis.
The event will host a competition for the best paper award, sponsored by Siemens, with certificate and cash prize of $500.
In conjunction with the Winter Vision Meetings, a demonstration session will be hosted.
 
Call for papers
Biomedical image analysis is a fast evolving field driven by the advancement of imaging modalities and high content screening techniques. Many clinical applications are also emerging that use biomedical image processing for decision support.  The workshop will bring together researchers in computer vision, medical imaging, computational biology, graphics and robotics communities interested in problems that involve mathematical modeling or analysis in biomedical images, which include emerging molecular and cellular images. 

Topics of interests include but are not limited to:

Please follow the submission guidelines described below.

 
Submissions
Paper Formatting: The workshop will have 6-page papers with both oral or poster presentations (extra pages will be $100 a page, up to an 8-page maximum). The MMBIA proceedings will be published electronically and indexed in IEEE Xplore.
Please use the
CVPR author kit to format the papers.  
  • The best paper award consists of a certificate and cash prize of $500.
  • In conjunction with the rest of the Winter Vision Meetings, a demonstration session will also be held.

Blind review: Submitted papers will undergo a double-blind reviewing process by three program committee members. Authors do not know the names of the reviewers of their papers, and reviewers do not know the names of the authors. Please read the author kit for detailed explanations of how to ensure this in your paper writing.

Submission website: This online submission system will accept submissions after August 1st, 2011.

Please update the final papers through CMT (https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/MMBIA2011/) before 11:59pm PDT December 1st 2011. Refer to http://www.wacv2012.org/camera-ready-instructions/ for detailed instructions.

Supplemental Material: Supplemental material submission is optional. This material may include: videos of results that cannot be included in the main paper, anonymized related submissions to other conferences and journals, and appendices or technical reports containing extended proofs and mathematical derivations that are not essential for understanding of the paper. Contents of the supplemental material should be referred to appropriately in the paper and reviewers are not obliged to look at them. For further details please refer to the author kit.

Simultaneous submissions:  Our policy is that in submitting a paper, authors implicitly acknowledge that no paper of substantially similar  content has been or will be submitted to another conference or workshop until MMBIA decisions  are made.
