The 8th International  Conference on  Image  Analysis and  Processing is
organized by three  Departments of the University of Genova and by Elsag
Bailey on behalf of the Italian Chapter of the International Association
for Pattern Recognition.


SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM
==================

The  scientific  program  will include the presentation of invited talks
and  contributed  papers. The goal  of  the  8th  ICIAP  is to provide a
discussion  forum  for  researchers   and  practitioners  interested  in
pattern  recognition,  image  processing,  computer  vision,  shape  and
object representation and other related topics.


CONFERENCE TOPICS
=================

Original and unpublished papers dealing both with theoretical and applied
aspects in the following fields are welcome. 

1. Image Processing
Low Level (feature  extraction, filtering,  segmentation), Coding, Signal
Processing, Neural Approaches. 

2. Image Understanding
Shape and Texture, Motion  Analysis, Statistical  and  Structural Pattern 
Recognition,  Perception  and  Spatial  Reasoning,  Active  Methods, Data
Fusion.

3. Image Synthesis
Geometric  Modeling,  Pictorial  Simulation,  Animation, Virtual Reality.

4. Image Architectures
Embedded Architectures, Host Architectures, Intelligent Capture and VLSI.

5. Image Languages and DBMS
Image Management, Procedural Languages, Visual Languages.

6. Application Domains
Astronomy, Biomedical, Document   Analysis, Industrial Automation, Remote
Sensing, Robotics, Entertainment.


INVITED SPEAKERS
================

Invited  lectures  will  be given by H. Bunke (Universitat Bern), A. Jain
(Michigan  University),   M.  D.  Levine  (McGill  University),  G.  Nagy
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute), A. N. Netravali (AT&T Bell Labs ), L.
Shapiro ( University of Washington). 


PAPER SUBMISSION AND REVIEWING PROCESS
======================================

Authors should submit four copies of a full paper to

Leila De Floriani - ICIAP '95
DISI - University of Genova
Viale Benedetto XV, 3  I -16132 Genova (Italy).

Paper  length  is typically  four  A4 and cannot exceed six A4 pages. The
first  page  should  be  anonymous,  containing  only  the  title  of the
paper,  a  200-words abstract and 3-5 keywords. A separate page including 
the title, the name(s) and affiliation(s) of the author(s), the abstract,

Each  paper  will be  reviewed  by at least two members of the Scientific 
Committee using a blind procedure.  Accepted papers will be discussed  in 
an oral presentation or presented as posters. All presented contributions 
will be included in the proceedings volume published  by  Springer-Verlag 
in  the  Lecture  Notes  in  Computer  Science  series  in  time  for the
