BMCV2000 FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS

IEEE International Workshop on Biologically Motivated Computer Vision 
http://image.korea.ac.kr/BMCV2000/

May 15-17, 2000
Hotel Inter-Continental, Seoul, Korea

You are invited to participate in an intensive, three-day, single-track
workshop on Biologically Motivated Computer Vision(BMCV2000). This workshop
aims to facilitate debates on biologically based systems and to provide a
chance for the researchers in the area of computer vision to exchange
up-to-date knowledge and experiences. Although the workshop will focus on
theories and implementations of computer vision and on modeling for human or
animal vision, any contribution of related area including e.g. visual
psychophysics, neuroscience, robotics and cybernetics will be highly
encouraged.

Electronic Paper Submissions

To submit a paper, you have to register it on the workshop home page by filling
out all the requested information. To facilitate fast review process,
electronic submissions are encouraged in PDF or PostScript format to the
workshop home page by December 15, 1999. Alternatively, four paper copies can
be submitted via regular mail to the workshop secretariat. Papers must be
written in English and should not be longer than 20 double-spaced pages.
