pre-ORS 2012 COMPUTATIONAL METHODS IN ORTHOPAEDIC BIOMECHANICS - first call

[Michael Liebschner]

20th ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM on COMPUTATIONAL METHODS IN ORTHOPAEDIC BIOMECHANICS

This is the first announcement and call for abstracts for the 20th Annual Symposium on Computational Methods in Orthopaedic Biomechanics (the “pre-ORS” meeting).

The 2012 pre-ORS will be held in San Francisco, California, on Friday, February 3rd, 2012.
Abstract submission deadline is November 14th, 2011.

Detailed information on the meeting format and registration, maps to the meeting site, and the sponsors for the meeting can be found on the symposium website at http://www.pre-ORS.org/

Objectives: The purpose of the symposium is to communicate the most current ideas on the impact of computer-assisted techniques in the field of orthopaedic biomechanics, to educate scientists, engineers, and researchers in the use of these techniques, to promote the use of computer technology in biomechanics research, and to welcome new researchers into the field. In keeping with the tradition of the symposium, this meeting is a forum for “junior researchers” to present their ongoing research involving computation in orthopaedics.

Topics: This 20th anniversary meeting will feature only ONE topic:
· Validation of Computational Methods in Orthopaedic Biomechanics

Note: Abstracts are requested for all areas of computational research of interest to the general orthopaedic biomechanics community. However, in order to be accepted, a strong emphasis needs to be placed on the method for validating the computational approach.

Abstract Submissions & Presentations: The deadline for submitting abstracts for the symposium is Monday, November 14, 2011. Abstracts not exceeding one page should be sent via email as attachments in .pdf format to pre-ORS@bcm.edu. Any questions concerning abstract submission can be sent to this email address as well. Please be sure to include abstract title, list of authors, and authors' affiliation(s). Text should be structured in a dual column format and font size not be smaller than 10pt.

Presentation: By submitting an abstract, it is understood that the primary author will present her/his work in person if the abstract is accepted, and that this work is not being presented at the Orthopaedic Research Society meeting. With the abstract submission, it is understood that the author agrees to an oral presentation, with the poster presentation being optional. Each oral presentation will be 7 minutes long with 3 minutes allotted for questions. The poster presentation will be informal during the social event in the evening.

Dear Colleagues:

This is the second announcement and call for abstracts for the 20th Annual Symposium on Computational Methods in Orthopaedic Biomechanics (the “pre-ORS” meeting). Detailed information on the meeting format and registration, maps to the meeting site, and the sponsors for the meeting can be found on the symposium website at http://www.pre-ORS.org/ .

We strongly encourage those interested in attending to pre-register for the symposium online through the meeting website so that we can adequately plan to accommodate everyone. Interest was great enough last year to require that registration be closed prior to the date of the symposium. As usual, registration and participation are free of charge.


Topics: This 20th anniversary meeting will feature only ONE topic:
· Validation of Computational Methods in Orthopaedic Biomechanics


Note: Abstracts are requested for all areas of computational research of interest to the general orthopaedic biomechanics community. However, in order to be accepted, a strong emphasis needs to be placed on the method for validating the computational approach.


Abstract Submissions & Presentations: As in the past, this meeting is a non-archival forum for graduate students and postdocs to present their ongoing research. The deadline for submitting abstracts for the symposium is Monday, November 14, 2011. Abstracts not exceeding one page should be sent via email as attachments in .pdf format to pre-ORS@bcm.edu.

Presentation: By submitting an abstract, it is understood that the presentations are expected to be given by the trainee (student or post-doc), primarily conducting the research, not by the PI. During the symposium the authors will be provided with two opportunities to present their work, 1) an oral presentation and 2) a poster presentation. With the submission of abstract, it is understood that the author agrees to an oral presentation, with the poster presentation being optional. Each oral presentation will be 7 minutes long with 3 minutes allotted for questions. The poster presentation will be informal during the social event in the evening.

****** FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT WITH NEW LOCATION******

20th ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM on COMPUTATIONAL METHODS IN ORTHOPAEDIC BIOMECHANICS

http://www.pre-ORS.org

Friday, February 3rd, 2012
University of California – Berkeley
Berkeley, California

NOTE: LOCATION/VENUE CHANGE

Dear Colleagues:

This is the final announcement for the 20th Annual Symposium on Computational Methods in Orthopaedic Biomechanics (the “pre-ORS” meeting). Detailed information on the meeting format and registration, maps to the meeting site, and the sponsors for the meeting can be found on the symposium website at http://www.pre-ORS.org.

Location: The symposium will be held on Friday, February 3rd, 2012 on the campus of the University of California – Berkeley (UCB) in Berkeley, California, and locally hosted by the Berkeley Orthopaedic Biomechanics Laboratory and the Departments of Mechanical Engineering and Bioengineering. The actual meeting site is the auditorium of the Lawrence Hall of Science, One Centennial Drive, Berkeley, CA 94720 (Ph: 510-642-5132). The site can be reached by public transportation. Registration will begin at 8:00 a.m., with presentations starting at 8:30 a.m. and continuing through the afternoon in a single-session format. http://www.lawrencehallofscience.org

Registration: Pre-registration for the meeting will be available electronically at: http://www.pre-ORS.org/preregistration.html. We strongly encourage those interested in attending to pre-register for the symposium online through the meeting website so that we can adequately plan to accommodate everyone. Interest was great enough last year to require that registration be closed prior to the date of the symposium. As usual, registration and participation are free of charge.

In keeping with the tradition of the symposium, this meeting is a forum for “junior researchers” to present their ongoing research involving computation in orthopaedics. Therefore, presentations are expected to be given by the student/postdoc primarily responsible for the research. The symposium will provide ample opportunity for personal interaction with faculty and other symposium participants, and will be a unique educational experience for the presenters. The pre-ORS is the premier international forum on the use of a new breed of computer based tools in orthopaedic biomechanics.

Topics: This 20th anniversary meeting will feature only ONE topic:
• Validation of Computational Methods in Orthopaedic Biomechanics

Note: Abstracts are requested for all areas of computational research of interest to the general orthopaedic biomechanics community. However, in order to be accepted, a strong emphasis needs to be placed on the method for validating the computational approach.

Presentation: Presentations are expected to be given by the trainee (student or post-doc), primarily conducting the research, not by the PI. During the symposium the authors will be provided with two opportunities to present their work, 1) an oral presentation and 2) a poster presentation. With the submission of abstract, it is understood that the author agrees to an oral presentation, with the poster presentation being optional. Each oral presentation will be 6 minutes long with 3 minutes allotted for questions. The poster presentation will be informal during the social event in the evening.
