The Data Analysis in Imaging (DAIM) RMS science section and international collaborators are launching a special issue of the Journal of Microscopy, with the topic: 'High-Performance Computing and Cloud-based solutions for image analysis in life and physical sciences'.
 
The DAIM special issue can include invited manuscripts, original research articles, reviews, and methods & protocols.

The guest editors will meet all the colleagues working on HPC and Cloud image analysis who might be interested in contributing with manuscripts for this special issue, all together with two time zone meetings: East time - zone 2 pm AEST and  11 am EDT/8amPDT on 15 Oct 2025.
