After the past successful conferences, IPCAI again organizes an event in which the best conference articles in computer‐assisted interventions are reviewed, selected, presented and actively discussed.
IPCAI 2012, the 3rd International Conference on Information Processing in Computer-Assisted Interventions, will be held on June 27, 2012 in Pisa, Italy. IPCAI aims at taking the particular aspects of interest and importance to CAI into account directly during the paper review process. IPCAI will include papers presenting novel technical concepts, clinical needs and applications as well as hardware, software and systems and their validation. Similar to Information Processing in Medical Imaging (IPMI), IPCAI makes sure that the paper selection process is finalized before the submission deadline of both MICCAI and CARS conferences organized in the corresponding year. This allows the authors of the papers not accepted by IPCAI criteria to resubmit a revised version of their paper to one of these conferences. The format of the conference allows more time for constructive discussion. Each accepted paper be presented in a poster session with extended (5 minute) teasers and organized discussion. In the afternoon, the papers selected by the audience will get 20 minutes of extra presentation time plus unlimited discussion. Questions will be prepared by committee members. Papers will be published in LNCS Springer proceedings.
