Re: pre-ORS 2012 COMPUTATIONAL METHODS IN ORTHOPAEDIC BIOMECHANICS - final call
****** FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT WITH NEW LOCATION******
20th ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM on COMPUTATIONAL METHODS IN ORTHOPAEDIC BIOMECHANICS
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.
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. 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.
