CFP: EVOIASP2004 (extended deadline)

CALL FOR  PAPERS 

EVOIASP2004  
Sixth European Workshop on  Evolutionary Computation in Image Analysis
and Signal Processing 

(please notice: DEADLINE EXTENDED TO NOVEMBER 21 PER REQUEST OF A FEW
PERSPECTIVE CONTRIBUTORS)

Coimbra, Portugal, 5 April 2004

Evolutionary algorithms have been shown  to be tools which can be used
effectively in  the development of systems (software  or hardware) for
image  analysis  and signal  processing  in  complex  domains of  high
industrial and social relevance.

EvoIASP  is the  first European  event specifically  dedicated  to the
applications of  evolutionary computation  (EC) to image  analysis and
signal   processing  (IASP)  and   gives  European   and  non-European
researchers  in those  fields, as  well  as people  from industry,  an
opportunity to  present their latest  research and to  discuss current
developments  and   applications,  besides  fostering   closer  future
interaction between members of the three scientific communities.

The previous  editions of the  Workshop were held in  Goteborg, Sweden
(1999),  Edinburgh, UK  (2000), Como,  Italy (2001),  Kinsale, Ireland
(2002), and Colchester, UK (2003).

The  workshop is  sponsored by  EvoNet, the  Network of  Excellence in
Evolutionary Computing, and  is one of the activities  of EvoIASP, the
EvoNet working  group on  Evolutionary Computation for  Image Analysis
and Signal Processing. It will be part of EvoWorkshops2004 and will be
held  in  conjunction  with  EuroGP2004, the  European  Conference  on
Genetic Programming,  and EvoCOP2004,  the 4th European  Conference on
Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimization.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 

  - applications of evolutionary computation to real-life IASP
problems,
  - evolvable vision and signal processing hardware,
  - evolutionary pattern recognition,
  - hybrid  architectures  for machine  vision  and  signal 
processing
  - including evolutionary components,
  - theoretical developments,
  - comparisons between  different evolutionary techniques and 
between
    evolutionary and non-evolutionary techniques in IASP applications,
  - time series analysis by means of EC techniques.

Submissions

  Send your  manuscript, at  most 10 A4  pages long, in  Springer LNCS
  format           (instructions           downloadable           from
  http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/instruct/typeinst.pdf)    to    the
  programme  chair,  Stefano Cagnoni,  in  gzipped  PostScript or  pdf
  format by email no later than November 21, 2003.  The papers will be
  peer  reviewed by  at least  two members  of the  program committee.
  Authors will be  notified via email on the results  of the review by
  December 19, 2003.

  The authors of  accepted papers will have to  improve their paper on
  the basis  of the reviewers'  comments and will  be asked to  send a
  camera ready  version of their manuscripts, along  with text sources
  and pictures, by January 16,  2003. The accepted papers will appear
  in  the workshop  proceedings,  published in  Springer LNCS  Series,
  which will be available at the workshop.

Important Dates:

Submission deadline: 21 November 2003   (no further extension
allowed!)
Notification of acceptance: 19 December 2003
Camera ready papers due: 16 January 2004
Workshop: 5 April 2004
