SSPR'98 In Australia
Swiss Grand Hotel, Bondi Beach, Sydney, August 1998
Preliminary call for papers and participation
You are invited to participate in the 7th International workshop on
Structural and Syntactic
Pattern Recognition to be held on August 11-13. 1998 at the Swiss Grand
Hotel, Bondi Beach,
Sydney, Australia.
The Structural and Syntactic Pattern Recognition workshop series has
traditionally been held in
conjunction with ICPR-the International Conference on Pattern
Recognition. In 1998 both will be
held back-to-back in Australia: SSPR in Sydney and the 14th ICPR in
Brisbane.
Honorary chairperson:
Professor Herbert Freeman,
Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey,
USA

Aim and Scope
The workshop will provide a forum for presenting and discussing novel
research results in areas related to structure and syntax in pattern
recognition and their applications. The workshop will focus on the
transfer and integration of new theoretical issues into practical
applications.
Special emphasis will be put on pattern-based methods for storage,
retrieval, search and querying. The workshop will feature invited talks,
oral paper presentations and poster presentations.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
Theoretical issues and formal methods:
---------------------------------------
* Grammar and language based methods
* Structural matching: string, trees, graphs, etc..
* Machine learning and grammatical inference
* Mathematical morphology
* Neural-net based recognition
* Object-Oriented and Object-Process Methodologies
Applications:
-------------
* Shape and motion analysis and planning
* Pattern-based information retrieval from image document databases and
knowledge bases
* Pattern-based 2D and 3D object recognition
* Pattern-based search on the Internet and other distribution
heterogeneous databases
* Applications of SSPR to multimedia
* Structured document image analysis and recognition
* Pattern-based speech recognition
* Grouping processes
Submission Procedure
--------------------
Papers should describe original and unpublished work. Prospective
authors should submit five
copies of their contribution(s) by December 1, 1997 to:
Adnan Amin (SSPR'98)
School of Computer Science and Engineering
University of New South Wales
Sydney, 2052, NSW, Australia
The manuscript submitted should be no longer than 15 pages, and the
cover page should contain:
title, author's name, affiliation and address, e-mail address, fax and
telephone number, and
an abstract no longer than 150 words. In case of joint authorship, the
first name will be used
for correspondence unless otherwise requested. All manuscripts will be
reviewed by at least
two members of the program committee. Accepted papers will appear in
the proceedings which are
expected to be published in the series Lecture Notes in Computer
Science by Springer-Verlag, and
will be distributed to all participants at the workshop.
Special Issue of Pattern Recognition
------------------------------------
Selected papers from the workshop will be published in a special
edition of the journal PATTERN
RECOGNITION scheduled for July 1999. Prospective authors will be asked
to submit enhanced papers
for review at the workshop.
Important Dates
---------------
Extended paper submission deadline: December 1, 1997
Notification of acceptance: March 1998
Camera-ready paper due: May 1998
