Aim of the Conference
—————————-
The automatic analysis of images and signals in medicine, biotechnology, System Biology, chemistry, biometry, drug discovery and information robots is a challenging and demanding field.

Signal-producing procedures by microscopes, spectrometers and other sensors have found their way into wide fields of medicine, biotechnology, economy and environmental analysis. With this arises
the problem of the automatic mass analysis of signal information. Signal-interpreting systems which generate automatically the desired target statements from the signals are therefore of compelling necessity. The continuation of mass analyses on the basis of the classical procedures leads to investments of proportions that are not feasible. New procedures and system architectures are therefore required.

The scope of conference is to bring together researcher, praticioners and industry
people who are dealing with mass analysis of images and signals to present and discuss recent research in these fields.

The goals of this conference are to:
provide a forum for identifying important contributions and opportunities for research on mass data analysis on microscopic images,
promote the systematic study of how to apply automatic image analysis and interpretation procedures to that field
show case applications of mass data analysis in biology, medicine, and chemistry.
