Dear Colleague,

The use of computational procedures based on medical images to model
and visualize represented objects requires a high level of research
investment, due mainly to the strong demands of clinical partners.
These procedures can have different goals, such as shape
reconstruction and visualization, segmentation, motion and deformation
analyses, registration, simulation, etc. The main goal of this Mini-
symposium is to promote the debate between researchers involved in the
related fields (Bio-medical Image Acquisition, Analysis and
Processing; Multi-scale Shape and Motion Reconstruction; Multi-scale
Modeling and Analysis; Scientific Visualization, Bio-medical Software
Libraries, Environments; etc.), in order to set the major lines of
developments for the near future.

Mini-symposium Organizers:

João Manuel R.S. Tavares (tavares at fe.up.pt, FEUP, Porto Portugal)
Renato Natal Jorge (rnatal at fe.up.pt, FEUP, Porto, Portugal)
Thomas J.R. Hughes (tjr_hughes at hotmail.com, ICES, University of Texas
at Austin, USA)
Chandrajit Bajaj (bajaj at cs.utexas.edu, ICES, University of Texas at
Austin, USA)
