Scope
The 2nd International Workshop on Medical Image Analysis and Description for Diagnosis Systems (MIAD) aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working in medical and biomedical images processing domain. The workshop will also offer the opportunity to fill the gap between academic researchers, practitioners and industrial parts. MIAD encourages authors to submit papers to one of the main topics indicated below, describing original work, including methods, techniques, advanced prototypes, recent advances in acquisition devices (CT-Scan, MRI, 3D Ultrasound, molecular imaging), applications, diagnosis systems and tools.

1st International Workshop on Metagenomic Sequence Data Analysis - Meta 2011
* CONVERTED TO SPECIAL SESSION *

Scope
The special workshop will focus on metagenomic analysis of natural biological communities. Metagenomic analysis is revolutionizing our understanding of the diversity, function, and inter-relationships among organisms in diverse ecological niches.
Unlike traditional microbial genomics which rely upon pure clonal cultures, metagenomics enables studies of organisms that are not easily cultured in a laboratory. It also allows the direct studies of organisms in their natural environment. The rapid advances in metagenomics are largely due to the technical and analytical methods developed from high-throughput platforms for DNA sequencing, high-density microarrays, mass spectrometry. Novel data types and unprecedently large volumes of data create great challenges for bioinformatics. New methods and applications have to be developed for comprehensive analyses of metagenomics data.

Scope
It is our great pleasure to invite you to participate in the event Living Usability Lab Workshop on AAL latest solutions, trends and applications @ BIOSTEC 2011, to be held in Rome, on 28-29th January 2011.
This event aims to present the latest results in the field of Ambient Assisted Living and to provide a forum for discussing the results achieved in the context of the project Living Usability Lab (LUL) for next generation networks. The technical program will consist of a full day of oral presentations presenting both internal contributions to LUL project and latest research and applications on Ambient Assisted Living area.
The authors are invited to submit their research contributions. All papers will be peer reviewed by a team of reviewers composed by members of the LUL consortium as well as external experts. The event provides an opportunity to present state-of-art research and development in a variety of topics related with LUL project, as well as an opportunity to come up-to-date on important issues involved in the enhancement of Ambient Assisted Living.
