Description :
-------------
 
Due to its extremely high performance requirements, Signal and Image
Processing (SIP) has always been one of the major application areas 
and one of the driving forces behind the design of special-purpose 
processors and massively parallel architectures. New challenges arise 
from areas like computer vision or multi-media applications.
Submissions are invited from academia and industry on various aspects
of signal, image processing and vision: parallel architectures, 
methods for designing parallel algorithms, languages and environments 
for programming parallel architectures or for designing special-purpose 
architectures, applications of parallel processing and architectures 
and their development and design methodologies.
 
 
Topics of interest include :
----------------------------
 
          parallel architectures and algorithms
          dynamically reconfigurable architectures
          parallel DSP systems
          application specific parallel architectures
          distributed processing for perception systems
          embedded use of perception systems
          methods and tools for the design of SIP architecture
          languages, software environments and programming tools for SIP
          computer vision and machine perception
          smart sensors and sensor fusion
          neural and evolutionary computations applied to machine
perception
          parallel video servers
          signal and image compression
          dependability and security of SIP
 
 
Euro-Par conference series :
----------------------------
 
Euro-Par is the annual European conference on parallel computing. It
is dedicated to the promotion and advancement of all aspects of parallel
computing.
 
Euro-Par'99 is  organized as a day  of tutorials, two half-day plenary
sessions, and a number of parallel sessions.
