Abstract
The cosmetic result after breast surgery is an important marker in clinical studies. Most authors used subjective scales to judge breast cosmesis. However, inter-observer discrepancies are very high and the use of such subjective scales for prospective trials is highly disputed. In this study we present for the first time a new invented breast symmetry index This BSI is calculated by subtracting the size and the shape between both breasts (frontal view and side view). The BSI is measured with a software system called breast analysing too( (BAT (c))) from digital. photographs. The photographs of 27 patients have been analysed with this software by different physicians to evolve inter-observer reproducibility. The Harris scale for subjective cosmetic analyses has been correlated with the BSI. In our study the inter-observer reproducibility was excellent (Pearson correlation r = 0.9; p < 0.05) and the 1351 was able to significantly differentiate between good and bad cosmesis (BSI values from 0%d to 30%d is good, BSI > 30%d is bad cosmesis). Thus the BSI may be used for clinical studies.

Abstract
In this demonstration, I exemplify how a musical channel of communication can be established in computer-mediated interaction between musicians and dancers in real time. This channel of communication uses a software library implemented as a library of external objects for Max/MSP[1], that processes data from an object or library that performs frame-differencing analysis of a video stream in real time in this programming environment.

Abstract
This paper describes methods used to construct an interactive installation using human motion to animate both a visual and aural particle system. It outlines the rotoscoping, meta-motion processing, aural and visual rendering systems. It goes into detailed explanation of the "particle flow" systems which lend form to the virtual characters. The paper finishes with a description of the tracking system and "inverse interaction", used by the installation. Copyright 2007 ACM.

Abstract
This work presents the development of a software for data acquisition and control (ASYS) on a clinical setup. Similar to the industrial Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) the software assembles a Target Controlled Infusion (TCI) monitoring and supervisory control data in real time from devices in a surgical room. The software is not a full controller since the TCI systems comprehend permanent interaction from the anesthesiologist Based on pharmacokinetic models, the effect-site and plasma concentrations can be related with the drug dose infused and vice versa. The software determines the infusion rates of the drug which are given as commands to the infusion pumps. This software provides the anesthesiologist with a trustworthy tool for managing a safe and balanced anesthesia. Since it also incorporates the acquisition and display of patients brain signals.
