VCBM\u2019s scope encompasses all aspects of visual<br \/>\ncomputing research, technological development, and practices in medicine and life<br \/>\nsciences. Relevant topics include both the acquisition, processing, visualization and<br \/>\ninterpretation of image data in biology and medicine and the visual analysis and<br \/>\ncommunication of life science data.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Submission types for VCBM 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Submissions for this year\u2019s meeting include original papers, survey papers, and tutorial<br \/>\nsessions. Please see previous <a href=\"https:\/\/diglib.eg.org\/handle\/10.2312\/463\">EG VCBM\u2019s proceedings<\/a> for examples of published<br \/>\npapers. We encourage authors to provide supporting information in the form of videos<br \/>\nand other media. The deadline for full paper submissions is May 3, 2024. Please note<br \/>\nthat this is one month earlier than in previous years. Furthermore, <strong>all accepted full<br \/>\npapers and surveys will be featured in a special issue of the journal Computer &amp;<br \/>\nGraphics (C&amp;G)<\/strong>, necessitating the significantly advanced submission deadline this year.<br \/>\nFull Papers should describe original, application-oriented research that advances the<br \/>\nfusion of visual computing methods within medicine and biology. Accepted work will<br \/>\nfocus on a well-defined biological or medical problem, and demonstrate significant<br \/>\ninnovation or improvement in visual computing.<br \/>\nSurveys are long-form submissions addressing new and emerging topics in visual<br \/>\ncomputing and biology and medicine.<br \/>\nTutorials are didactic or hands-on sessions lasting one or two hours and delivered during<br \/>\nthe conference. They should enable participants to learn how to use new tools or<br \/>\ntechniques or gain practical experience with domain-specific data.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Topics<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All aspects relating to the development, application and practices of visual computing in<br \/>\nthe life sciences are relevant to the meeting. These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Visual computing solutions designed for use by medical, biomedical, and<br \/>\nbiological practitioners, researchers and educators.<\/li>\n<li>The use of eXtended Reality (e.g., for surgical procedures, molecular<br \/>\nvisualization, rehabilitation, and therapy).<\/li>\n<li>Approaches for processing, visual analysis, and communication of data from<br \/>\nnew or challenging modalities (e.g., real-time ultrasound, CyTOF,<br \/>\nSpectroscopy, layer fMRI, single-cell and spatial-omics, environmental<br \/>\nmonitoring).<\/li>\n<li>Visual computing approaches incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) and<br \/>\nexplainable AI.<\/li>\n<li>Visual computing solutions that support new approaches for modeling and<br \/>\nsimulation with application in medicine and biology.<\/li>\n<li>Workflows and processes leveraging visual computing to facilitate<br \/>\ninterdisciplinary collaboration in biology and medicine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We encourage the use of digital videos to support all submissions. Please use only the<br \/>\nmost common video codecs, such as MP4 H.264, to maximize the chances that the<br \/>\nreviewers can view them.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Full Papers:<\/strong> We do not impose strict maximum lengths for submitted papers<br \/>\nto the full papers track. However, it is unusual for papers to exceed 10 pages<br \/>\n(in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elsevier.com\/__data\/promis_misc\/elsarticle-CAG-template.zip\">C&amp;G LaTeX style<\/a> including all images and references). Papers should only<br \/>\nbe as long as their content would justify. Reviewers might rate a submission<br \/>\nlower if it is perceived as being unnecessarily long or might recommend it for a<br \/>\nshort paper, instead. Authors are encouraged to use supplementary material,<br \/>\nsuch as videos or executable programs to provide extra content. Authors may<br \/>\nchoose to anonymize their submissions, but this is not required.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Surveys:<\/strong> We do not impose strict maximum lengths for papers submitted to<br \/>\nthe survey track. However, it is unusual for surveys to exceed 20 pages (in<br \/>\nC&amp;G LaTeX style, including all images and references). Authors are<br \/>\nencouraged to use supplementary material, such as videos, to provide extra<br \/>\ncontent. Authors may choose to anonymize their submissions, but this is not<br \/>\nrequired.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tutorials:<\/strong> A brief description of the topic, an outline of the contents of the<br \/>\ntutorial, and a request for duration (e.g., one\/two hours).
