VMLS 2013 - 3rd International Workshop on Visualization in Medicine and Life Sciences 2013 (VMLS 2013)

The third international workshop on Visualization in Medicine and Life Sciences will take place in 2013 (VMLS 2013). After two successful events in 2006 and 2009, VMLS 2013 will, for the first time, be co-located with EuroVis. The goal of the workshop is to discuss novel visualization techniques driven by the needs in medicine and life sciences as well as new application areas and challenges for visualization within these fields. VMLS 2013 intends to generate ideas and concepts for visual analysis of data from scientific studies of living organs or to the delivery of healthcare. Target scientific domains include the entire field of biology at all scales - from genes and proteins to organs and populations - as well as interdisciplinary research based on technological advances such as bioinformatics, biomedicine, biochemistry, or biophysics. Moreover, they comprise the field of medicine and the application of science and technology to healthcare problems. The workshop will be organized in form of presentation sessions of invited and contributed talks and will allocate a significant amount of time to vivid discussions.
The workshop will consist of two parts:
The first part (June 16-17) is by invitation only.
The second part (June 17-18) is part of the EuroVis 2013 conference and open to all EuroVis 2013 participants.
