CONTENT
Medicine has a long tradition as an application area for visualization
techniques. Still, it poses many open questions and medical
visualization is a vivid research field. One reason for holding the
first VMLS workshop was that newly emerged technologies in the field of
life sciences and the question whether the medical visualization
approaches can be adopted for the new visualization challenges for life
sciences data. Life sciences is meant in its broadest meaning including
(animal and human) biology, biochemistry, bioinformatics, biomathematics,
food sciences, environmental sciences, and pharmaceutics. Different data
collection technologies lead to different types of data including both
spatial and non-spatial data.
The aim of the second international VMLS workshop is to document and
discuss the progress that has been made since the first workshop and to
discover what new challenges have come up in these research endeavors.
We want to analyze which goals have been met and why certain goals have
not been met. We want to (re-)direct the visualization efforts in a
desirable direction from an application perspective. Also, we want to
encourage interaction among participants in the spirit of establishing
new collaborations.
Participants will have the opportunity to present their work and ideas,
approaches, or concepts in one of the presentation sessions.
Presentations should focus on visualization applied or applicable to
data from medicine, or life sciences in general. In addition, we plan on
having several discussion sessions as well as a social program with many
discussion opportunities.
KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
We are going to invite distinguished speakers from the medical and life
science area. It will be of a significant value to our discussion
sessions to have such scientists from the application areas participate.
They can judge best what insight visualization can and should provide.
