==============================================================================
Welcome in Nice
It is our pleasure to welcome you in Nice to the First International
Conference on Computer Vision, Virtual Reality, and Robotics in Medicine
(CVRMed'95).
The program covers the three major topics of the field, which are Medical
Image Understanding, Registration Problems in Medicine, and Therapy Planning,
Simulation and Control.
The objective is not only to present the most innovative and promising
research work but also to highlight research trends and to foster dialogues
and debates among participants.
This event was decided after a preliminary successful symposium organized in
Stanford in March 1994 by E. Grimson (MIT), T. Kanade (CMU), R. Kikinis
and W. Wells (Chair) (both at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's
Hospital), and myself (INRIA).
We received 92 submitted full papers, and each one was evaluated by at least
three members of the Program Committee, with the help of auxilliary reviewers.
Based on these evaluations, a representative subset of the Program Committee
met to select 19 long papers, 29 regular papers, and 27 posters.
The geographical repartition of the contributions is the following: 24 from
European countries (other than France), 23 contributions from France, 20 from
Northern America (USA and Canada), and 8 from Asia (Japan and Singapore).
All of the selected contributions are printed in a book published by Springer
Verlag, available at the conference.
The 48 oral presentations are organized in a number of thematic sessions,
presented in a single track, and leaving time for two Posters sessions, a
Panel discussion, and a technical tour at Sophia-Antipolis. A number of
stands are reserved for industrial exhibitions and research demonstrations.
We look forward to meeting you in Nice for what promises to be an exciting
event in such a promising and fascinating new research field!

CVRMed'95, a special acronym: the letters of this acronym share a double
meaning: C for Conference and Computer, V for Vision and Virtual, R for
Reality and Robotics, and Med for Medicine and ... Mediterranean. It might
be hard to preserve this Nice property in the future!

===== LOCAL ATTRACTIONS =====
==============================================================================
Nice is one of the most charming cities of the Mediterranean. With magnificent
surroundings and delightful climate (generally pleasant in April with maximum
temperature about 15-20o Celsius, but possibly with cooler evenings), Nice has
kept its charm , its authenticity, its tradition. Discover the "Promenade des
Anglais", stroll along the seafront and through the quaint old town. Relax
and savour the local scents and colours, the flower market and the red and
ochre facades of historic Nice. Nice has plenty to offer for a fabulous night
out: from "bistros" offering Nice specialities to gastronomic restaurants,
theatres, casinos, opera and discotheques.
This is the heart of the French Riviera!
