ICPR '96

IAPR - 13th ICPR

August 25-30, 1996, Vienna, Austria

The 13th ICPR of the International Association for Pattern Recognition will be organized as a set of four conferences, each dealing with special topics in pattern recognition in order to guarantee scientific substance plus an adequate coverage of a rapidly expanding discipline. The program for each individual conference will be organized by its own program committee.

The opening session and the social events are common to all four conference parts. In addition, a set of tutorial sessions, given by prominent researchers in the field, will be offered during the day prior to the actual conference (Sunday). Specialized workshops, organized by technical committees, will be held in the local surroundings of Vienna during the week before and after the conference. The conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press.

General Chairman: Walter G. Kropatsch, TU Vienna, Austria
Honorary Chair: Azriel Rosenfeld, Univ. Maryland, USA

Program Chairman: Yannis Aloimonos, Univ. Maryland, USA
Program Co-Chair: Ruzena Bajcsy, Univ. Pennsylvania, USA

In order to guarantee a balanced distribution of papers, authors should submit their papers not to individual conferences but should mention two topics of the list below.
Paper submission deadline: January 15, 1996
Notification of acceptance: April 1996. Camera-ready copy: May 1996
Send four copies of paper to: 13th ICPR96
