Aim and Scope
-------------
Medical endoscopy is the process whereby an optical instrument is 
introduced into one or other of the body tubes or cavities so that 
the organs of the body may be directly inspected. 

The aim of this session is to bring together researchers in various 
fields (i.e. physicians, computer scientists, and engineering
technicians) to exchange and discuss new ideas and advances in the 
field of endoscopic image processing and analysis.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): 
- Computer-aided decision support systems targeted at endoscopy
- Processing and analysis of endoscopic images or videos
- Wireless capsule endoscopy applications
- Image enhancement techniques tailored to endoscopic imagery


Paper Submission
----------------
Papers have to be submitted through the CBMS web submission system, 
which will be open approximately one month before the deadline. 
Submissions are allowed a maximum of 6 (six) pages in IEEE 
two-column format.

Papers submitted to this special track will be subject to peer-review. 
Accepted papers will be published in the symposium proceedings in the 
same length and format as regular CBMS papers.

For more details on format guidelines and submitting papers 
visit http://www.cbms2012.org.

This year CBMS offers a prize to a young researcher in memory of 
Prof. Ezio Catanzariti, thanks to the Italian Chapter of the IAPR
(International Association for Pattern Recognition). 
The prize will consist of 500 Euros and a plaque. The application 
to the prize must be done during paper submission.
