GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Second International Workshop on Digital and Computational Video (DCV'01)
presents and explores the trends in digital and computational video including,
but not limited to, the applications, technology and mathematical aspects of
this 21st century area.  This one-day workshop aims to bring together
researchers and users to share their experiences, vision and methodologies. By
providing a forum which would include experts from mathematical sciences,
medicine, engineering, computer science, education, fine arts and television,
it
intends to cross-fertilize ideas and to bridge cross-cultural differences.  The
workshop will include keynote presentations and regular paper presentations on
topics including, but not limited to:

       o   Telemedicine                     o   Stereo vision 
       o   Digital television               o   Computed medical imaging
       o   Standards conversion             o   Mass communications
       o   Motion estimation                o   Mathematical morphology
             and compensation               o   Networked video 
       o   3D modeling                      o   Distance learning
       o   Digital arts and animation       o   Camera on a chip 
       o   Algorithms and software          o   Microelectronics for Video

LOCATION

The workshop will be held in Tampa, on Florida's west coast. It is widely known
that two of the best beaches in the world are located on this coast; therefore
the Tampa Bay area is an exceptional vacation destination, or for that matter a
conference destination.  The workshop site is next door to the famous Busch
Gardens, and only an hour away from the Walt Disney World.  Tampa is also the
home to the University of South Florida, the intellectual and technological
center for nearly four million people.  The weather in early February is
usually
mild and very pleasant.

PAPERS

The program committee invites authors to submit a three to four page summary of
their paper. Papers should clearly describe the nature of the work, explain its
significance, highlight its novel features, and project its scientific,
medical,
industrial or other applications significance.  Authors of selected papers will
be requested to prepare a manuscript for the workshop proceedings, which will
be
published and mailed to the participants after the workshop.  Final paper
length
should not exceed ten (10) pages.

    o   Summaries due                                   October 27, 2000
    o   Notification of acceptance                      November 24, 2000
    o   Final camera ready manuscript due               Feb. 9, 2001
