I S S P A 2 0 0 1 Sixth International Symposium on Signal Processing and its Applications 13-16 August 2001 Shangri-la Hotel, Kuala-Lumpur, Malaysia SPECIAL SESSION: Video and Image Indexing Dear Colleagues, I am writing you on behalf of the organizers of the conference ISSPA 2001, the Sixth International Symposium on Signal Processing and its Applications, 13-16 August 2001, Kuala-Lumpur, Malaysia, sponsored by ISSPA and IEEE. This conference attracted last years about 500 papers. I attach the CFP in text and pdf format; you will also find more information at: http://www.sprc.qut.edu.au/conf-isspa2001/index.html The organizers asked me to organize a special session on the topic of "Video and Image Indexing". The special session would consist of about 5 oral presentations, possibly complemented by a dedicated poster session. I would like to ask you whether you would be interested in submitting an article to this session. By using this fairly focused mailing list, I hope to have a very interesting and simulating series of presentations and discussions. I will therefore expect people whose article is accepted to attend the conference. Papers should be 4 pages, and the deadline for submission to the special session is February 28, 2001. The proceedings will be published by IEEE. If you feel potentially interested, could you be kind enough to reply to this email by indicating a tentative title for your submission? Also, please feel free to forward this mail to other possibly interested researchers. I hope to receive a positive feedback from you, and send you our best regards (and wishes for the year 2001!).
