Dear "SVM" members,
My name is Pedro Latorre Carmona, program co-chair of the 2012
"International Conference on Pattern Recognition Applications and
Methods" (ICPRAM 2012). Please find below the Call for Papers that I
hope you will find interesting.
Please take into account that regular paper submission deadline has
been extended to September 8, 2011.
I would also like to draw your attention to the six Special Sessions
that are organised for this conference. These sessions have a
different submission deadline to the deadline of the regular paper
submission.
I hope to see you in Algarve, Portugal in 2012!.
CALL FOR PAPERS
*********************************************************************
2012 International Conference on Pattern Recognition
Applications and Methods (ICPRAM2012)
February 6-8, 2012
Vilamoura, Algarve, Portugal
http://www.icpram.org
*********************************************************************
ICPRAM (1st International Conference on Pattern Recognition
Applications and Methods - http://www.icpram.org/) has an open call
for papers, whose deadline is set for September 8, 2011. We hope you
can participate in this conference by submitting a paper reflecting
your current research in any of the following tracks:
- Theory and Methods
- Applications
ICPRAM 2012 will be held in Vilamoura, Algarve, Portugal next year, on
February 6-8, 2012.
The conference will be sponsored by the Institute for Systems and
Technologies of Information, Control and Communication (INSTICC) in
cooperation with the Association for the Advancement of Artificial
Intelligence (AAAI) and Pattern Analysis, Statistical Modelling and
Computational Learning (PASCAL2), and technically co-sponsored by IEEE
Signal Processing Society, Machine Learning for Signal Processing
(MLSP) Technical Committee of IEEE, AERFAI (Asociación Espanola de
Reconocimiento de Formas y Analisis de Imagenes) and APRP (Associacao
Portuguesa de Reconhecimento de Padroes). INSTICC is member of the
Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC).
ICPRAM would like to become a major point of contact between
researchers, engineers and practitioners on the areas of Pattern
Recognition, both from theoretical and application perspectives.
Contributions describing applications of Pattern Recognition
techniques to real-world problems, interdisciplinary research,
experimental and/or theoretical studies yielding new insights that
advance Pattern Recognition methods are especially encouraged.
The conference program features a number of Keynote Lectures to be
delivered by distinguished world-class researchers, including those
listed below.
The proceedings of ICPRAM will be submitted for indexation by Thomson
Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP and
Elsevier Index (EI).
All accepted papers (full, short and posters) will be published in the
conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on
CD-ROM support.
A short list of presented papers will be selected so that revised and
extended versions of these papers will be published by Springer-Verlag
in a AISC Series book.
Top selected papers in specific areas of interest will be published as
a special issue in the Neurocomputing Journal.
Best paper awards will be distributed during the conference closing
session. Please check the website for further information
(http://www.icpram.org/best_paper_awards.asp).
All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the
SciTePress Digital Library (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/).
SciTePress is member of CrossRef (http://www.crossref.org/).
We also would like to highlight the possibility to submit to the
following Special Sessions:
- Algebraic Geometry in Machine Learning
- Shape Analysis and Deformable Modeling
- Machine Learning for Sequences
- Pattern Recognition Applications in Remotely Sensed Hyperspectral
Image Analysis
- High-Dimensional Inference from Limited Data: Sparsity, Parsimony
and Adaptivity
- Interactive and Adaptive Techniques for Machine Learning,
Recognition and Perception
Workshops and further special sessions are also invited, with the
condition that the topics do not overlap with the existing ones. If
you wish to propose a workshop or a special session, for example based
on the results of a specific research project, please contact the
secretariat. Workshop chairs and Special Session chairs will benefit
from logistics support and other types of support, including
secretariat and financial support, to facilitate the development of a
valid idea.
ICPRAM 2012 will be held in conjunction with ICAART 2012
(http://www.icaart.org/home.asp) and ICORES (http://www.icores.org) in
Vilamoura, Algarve, Portugal next year, on February 6-8, 2012.
Registration to ICPRAM will enable free access to the ICAART and
ICORES conferences (as a non-speaker).
