Euro-Par'99 Toulouse, France August 31 - September 3, 1999 =========== Topic 12: Architectures and Algorithms for Vision and other Senses --------- Topic Committee : ----------------- Global chair : Virginio Cantoni (University of Pavia, Italy) Vice-chair : Concettina Guerra (Purdue Univ., USA and Padoa Univ., Italy) Vice-chair : Pieter Jonker (TU Delft, The Netherlands) Local chair : Alain Ayache (ENSEEIHT-IRIT, Toulouse, France) 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.
