PRESENTATION

ICISP'2001 aims to provide researchers and
practitioners from academia and industry with a forum
to report on the latest developments in image and signal
processing and their applications. The conference will
also provide a unique opportunity for dialogue and
synergy between scientists and engineers from different
backgrounds with the common interest in image and
signal processing.
We cordially invite you to participate in this event by
submitting your work in all aspects of this field from
underlying technologies to applications, and from
theory to practice. We look forward to seeing you in
Agadir in May 2001 for what will be a most rewarding
and exciting experience!
