CALL FOR PAPERS

The goal of this workshop is to establish a forum for discussing
systems and architectures for computer assisted intervention (CAI)
applications. Continuing the success of the last three years, the
workshop will focus on open interfaces, interoperability, and
standards. In addition, this year, we will discuss practical issues,
clinical applications and future directions of CAI systems and
frameworks. As in the previous years, this workshop will include
strong participation from industry and academia.

Topics of interest will include but are not limited to:

-Architectures and Frameworks for Computer Assisted Interventions
-Systems integration and the digital operating room
-Applications for computer assisted surgery
-Progress and status of standardization efforts, such as DICOM, IHE,
CANopen, and ISO 11073
-Regulatory and liability issues and solutions for the modularization
of CAI systems
-Opportunities for further integration and interoperability
-Discussion of successes and unmet needs

We encourage the submission of full papers (min. 4, max. 8 pages) in
Midas Journal format. Papers will be reviewed by the workshop
committee. Accepted papers will be presented as plenary talks and will
be included in a special issue of the Midas Journal.
