CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
----------------------

2006 Workshop on Multiscale Biological Imaging, Data Mining & Informatics
Santa Barbara, CA, USA, September 7-8, 2006

http://www.bioimageinformatics.org/2006/

Important dates:
 - August 13: Deadline for reserving discounted hotel rooms
 - August 20: Early registration deadline
 - September 7-8: Workshop

This workshop aims at bringing together interdisciplinary researchers
to identify problems and present answers to multiscale bioimage data
mining and informatics using cutting edge imaging technology
(including fluorescence imaging, electron microscopy imaging, etc.)
and quantitative analysis methods (including image data analysis,
computer vision, data mining, machine learning, as well as other
informatics methods).

Registration: http://www.bioimageinformatics.org/2006/registration.html
(Students, postdocs, and faculty qualify for discounted rates.)
