=================================================
            SPECIAL ISSUE ON IMAGING IN BIOINFORMATICS
           JOURNAL OF REAL-TIME IMAGING, ACADEMIC PRESS

          Guest Editors:  Prof  Luciano da Fontoura Costa
           Coordinator, Cybernetic Vision Research Group,
                University of Sao Paulo, Brazil
and

The application of imaging and pattern recognition techniques in 
biology is posed to catalyze several breakthroughs in critical areas, 
including genetics and neuroscience, over the forthcoming decade.  
This special issue targets high quality and original contributions 
involving the application of imaging concepts and techniques, 
including related works involving pattern recognition and  
datamining, in several relevant biological problems.  

The considered areas include but are not limited to:

 Micrograph image processing and analysis    Karyotyping
 Neuromorphometry 			     Biological shape analysis
 Microarray analysis			     Datamining
 Pattern recognition			     Image databases
 Comparative anatomy			     Morphometry
 Cellular and developmental biology	     Visualization
 Parallel and concurrent processing          Morphogenesis

Intended deadlines:
              Submission:    July 2001
              Publication:   April 2002
