The 18th Annual Meeting of the International Society for Computer Assisted Orthopaedic Surgery will be held in Beijing from June 6th-9nd, 2018.
Artificial intelligence and robotic techniques are blooming all over the world this year. In collaboration with CAOS China and the Chinese Orthopaedic Association, we would like to gather many surgeons and researchers in this area, in order to result in a rich and fruitful exchange of ideas, information on various new technologies, as well as the formulation of future directions for CAOS.
Beijing, the most representative city of China, is celebrated for its history and culture. The Great Wall, Forbidden City, Summer Palace, Beijing roast duck, as well as the Beijing opera are the highlights for trips in Beijing.
Submission Guidelines
Papers are expected to demonstrate novelty by arguing that there is a gap in existing literature that the presented work addresses and to present data to support any conclusions drawn.
You will be asked to submit two files, for which templates are available:
- Main paper (500-1000 words), in PDF format, details below
- Bone and Joint Journal abstract (250 words), in PDF format, which will be published in their online "Orthopaedic Proceedings" for all accetped podium presentations (see details below)
All papers will be required to include at least three references in the Introduction to establish the need for and novelty of the work, and at least two references in the discussion section to establish significance of the findings compared with the existing literature. Papers should be 500-1000 words in length (excluding references and title block). Only two graphics are allowed, each of which can be a picture, a diagram or a table. The use of collages (multi-part figures) is permitted, as long as the text is legible and the graphics are clear. Please try to limit formatting complexity and make sure to embed text labels within diagrams and pictures. These images will be used without change in the final digital proceedings.
We especially encourage young researchers to take part in the conference. Accordingly, some preference will be given to presenting authors who do not yet hold (or have only very recently taken up) faculty appointments or post-graduation industry positions.

Publication
The Society supports open access publication of the proceedings via EsyChair's EPiC Series in Health Sciences. All accepted papers will be made available online via this route, unless the Opt Out option is ticked at submission type. Further information about the Series format, indexing and access information is available here.
Additionally, authors of abstracts that have been selected for oral presentation will have a shortened version of their abstracts (250 words) published within a special issue of the Bone and Joint Journal (BJJ).
