IMPORTANT DATES:
* April 28, 2008 - Paper Submission
* June 20, 2008 - Notification to Authors
* July 4, 2008 - Final Papers due
MFCA-2008 is devoted to statistical and geometrical aspects of the
modeling of the variability of
biological shapes. The goal is to foster the interactions between the
mathematical community
around shapes and the MICCAI community around computational anatomy
applications.
The workshop aims at being a forum for the exchange of the theoretical
ideas and a source
of inspiration for new methodological developments in computational anatomy.
Contributions are solicited in (but not limited to):
* Riemannian and group theoretical methods
* Geometric measurements of the anatomy
* Advanced statistics on deformations and shapes
* Metrics for computational anatomy
* Statistics of surfaces

PAPER SUBMISSION:
6 to 10 pages in pdf in LNCS format (miccai guidelines), send an email
to [log in to unmask]
Best papers will be selected for publication in a special issue of
Journal of Mathematical Imaging and vision.
Double submissions are allowed for this workshop and for the MICCAI
Conference, but the authors have to
declare it at the submission time. Furthermore, if a paper is accepted
both at the MICCAI 2008 conference,
the paper will have to be withdrawn from the workshop.
