Workshop on Bioimage Informatics 2008
Jan 17-18, 2008 at UCSB

 The goal of this NSF sponsored workshop is to bring together
 researchers who work at the intersection of bioimaging and image
 informatics, to present their recent results relying on cutting edge
 image data analysis, computer vision, data mining, machine learning,
 visualization, and informatics methods, to study biological
 processes. One specific emphasis of this workshop will be the
 definition of standardized image datasets for validating computer
 vision and pattern recognition methods in bioimaging applications.

Workshop Format: This will be the second workshop hosted by the Center
for Bio-Image Informatics at UCSB. The workshop will be a two-day
event consisting of invited talks from established investigators in
the field, presentations from both junior faculty and students, and
poster sessions. The workshop format will emphasize discussions rather
than being solely a result-reporting meeting. There will be longer
than customary Q&A periods and breaks to offer the attendees more
extensive discussion and networking opportunities. There will also be
opportunities for industry professionals to showcase state-of-the-art
technology in imaging hardware and software.
