Call for Papers BigVis 2020: 3rd International Workshop on Big Data Visual Exploration and Analytics https://bigvis.imsi.athenarc.gr/bigvis2020 March 30, 2020, Copenhagen, Denmark Held in conjunction with the 23rd Intl. Conference on Extending Database Technology & 23rd Intl. Conference on Database Theory (EDBT/ICDT 2020) Information Visualization is nowadays one of the cornerstones of Data Science, turning the abundance of Big Data being produced through modern systems into actionable knowledge. Indeed, the Big Data era has realized the availability of voluminous datasets that are dynamic, noisy and heterogeneous in nature. Transforming a data-curious user into someone who can access and analyze that data is even more burdensome now for a great number of users with little or no support and expertise on the data processing part. Thus, the area of data visualization, visual exploration and analysis has gained great attention recently, calling for joint action from different research areas from the HCI, Computer graphics and Data management and mining communities. In this respect, several traditional problems from these communities such as efficient data storage, querying & indexing for enabling visual analytics, new ways for visual presentation of massive data, efficient interaction and personalization techniques that can fit to different user needs are revisited. The modern exploration and visualization systems should nowadays offer scalable techniques to efficiently handle billion objects datasets, limiting the visual response in a few milliseconds along with mechanisms for information abstraction, sampling and summarization for addressing problems related to visual information over-plotting. Further, they must encourage user comprehension offering customization capabilities to different user-defined exploration scenarios and preferences according to the analysis needs. Overall, the challenge is to offer self-service visual analytics, i.e. enable data scientists and business analysts to visually gain value and insights out of the d! ata as repidly as possible, minimizing the role of IT-expert in the loop. The BigVis workshop aims at addressing the above challenges and issues by providing a forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss, exchange, and disseminate their work. BigVis attempts to attract attention from the research areas of Data Management & Mining, Information Visualization and Human-Computer Interaction and highlight novel works that bridge together these communities.

Call for Paper: [Computers]: Special Issue "Simulation, Imaging and Modelling for Biomedical Systems" (Scopus, ESCI, 50% discount, Deadline Approaching)
by Blink Yu 14 Nov '19

14 Nov '19

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ==================================== Special Issue "Simulation, Imaging and Modelling for Biomedical Systems" Deadline for manuscript submissions: 15 December 2019 Guest Editor: Dr. Elena Casiraghi and Dr. Barbara Barricelli Department of Computer Science; Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy Website: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/computers/special_issues/SIM_BS ===================================== Dear Colleagues, Over the past decades, a continuous increase in computational power, together with substantial advances in the digital image processing and pattern recognition fields, has motivated the development of computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) systems, augmented and virtual reality applications for surgical planning and simulation, and digital-twin applications for healthcare. Thanks to their effective, precise, and repeatable results, validated CAD systems are nowadays exploited as a valid aid during diagnostic procedures. Surgical simulation applications have become an essential part of surgical procedures as well as training, while research on the development of digital-twin applications in healthcare is continuously increasing, to deliver significant societal and health benefits. Similar important advances in the field of microscopy image analysis have been motivated by the advent of digital microscopes producing high-resolution digital images. Indeed, in the past thirty years the development of computerized systems that have helped pathologists in their analysis of images obtained by fluorescence, histochemical, and immunohistochemical labeling has become a main research focus for computer scientists and clinicians. State-of-the-art automatic microscopy image analysis systems automatically identify biological structures of interest and then try to reproduce the evaluation and quantification performed by expert pathologists and clinicians. These tools are much appreciated in the field for their potential to minimize the inherent subjectivity of manual analysis and to largely reduce the workload of clinicians via high-throughput analysis. This Special Issue intends to provide a comprehensive overview of recent, theoretical, and/or practical advances and new trends in biomedical/microscopy image enhancement and analysis, vision modelling, and general physiological models applied to biomedical/microscopy image processing and advanced visualization methods and devices, and to discuss their applications in the biological and medical fields. Keywords: BioMedical/microscopy image enhancement Biomedical/microscopy image quality assessment Biomedical/microscopy image analysis Computational approaches for citology and histology Computer-aided diagnosis Neuro imaging BioMedical/microscopy image databases Machine learning and artificial intelligence Image segmentation, registration, and fusion Interventional imaging systems Image-guided interventions and surgery Surgical and interventional simulation systems Interventional tracking and navigation Surgical planning and simulation Surgical visualization and mixed, augmented and virtual reality Digital twins and end-user development in biomedicine Interventional software and user interfaces Physiological models Dr. Elena Casiraghi Dr. Barbara Barricelli Guest Editors -- Mr. Blink Yu Managing Editor E-Mail: blink.yu(a)mdpi.com Skype: live:c91693ac8277e1f0 -- MDPI Wuhan Office No.6 Jingan Road, 430064 Wuhan, China MDPI Postfach, CH-4020 Basel, Switzerland http://www.mdpi.com -- Disclaimer: MDPI recognizes the importance of data privacy and protection.
