                       Preliminary Call for Papers

           INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON MATHEMATICAL MORPHOLOGY

         and its Applications to Image and Signal Processing IV 

               June 3-5, 1998, Amsterdam, The Netherlands


This symposium is the fourth in a series of international workshops
devoted to the area of mathematical morphology and its applications in
image and signal processing. The scientific programme includes
presentation of invited talks and contributed papers. The size of the
workshop will be limited in order to enable interaction between the
participants.

SUBMISSION PROCEDURES:

Prospective authors are invited to submit five copies of a full paper
devoted to any topic in the area of mathematical morphology to the
address listed below. The manuscript should include a separate title
page, containing the names and the addresses of the authors (including
e-mail and fax), an abstract of up to 200 words, and 3-5 keywords.
Papers submitted by fax or email will not be considered.

Acceptance of papers is based on appropriateness of the topic and on
quality, novelty, and clarity of exposition. Each paper will be
reviewed by at least two members of the Programme Committee using a
blind procedure, and their reviews will be returned to the author.
Accepted papers will appear in the proceedings volume published by
Kluwer in their Computational Imaging and Vision series.  This volume
will be available at the beginning of the workshop. The final paper has
to be be prepared using the LaTeX typesetting system using the style
file provided by the organisers (see web-site below), and should be
limited to 8 pages including artwork and references.

IMPORTANT DATES:

September 30, 1997: Submission of full paper
December 15,  1997: Notification of acceptance
February 15,  1998: Camera-ready full paper

SUBSIDIARY GRANTS:

The organisers plan to make available a very limited number of
subsidiary grants for participants from countries in Eastern Europe and
former Soviet Union. These grants will cover traveling expenses
(cheapest option), full registration and hotel expenses.  The main
criterion for achieving a grant is that the applicant is the (first)
author of an accepted paper. Selection will be on the base of paper
quality. Applications for these grants have to be submitted to the
ISMM'98 secretariat.
