Special Workshop on
APPLICATIONS OF FRACTALS
IN COMPUTER SCIENCE, SIGNAL AND IMAGE PROCESSING
(APPLI-FRACT 02)
in
THE 2002 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON IMAGING SCIENCE,
SYSTEMS, AND TECHNOLOGY
(CISST'2002)
June 24 - 27, 2002
Monte Carlo Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
This workshop is mainly devoted to the applications Of fractal
analysis and techniques in all fields of Computer science, signal
and image processing including (but not restricted to) the fields
of:
- speech characterization and processing, speaker identification
- character and text recognition
- fractal techniques for data analysis
- visualization and physical models, hybrid models
- automatic object classification
- fractal and multifractal texture characterization
- shape generation, rendering techniques and image synthesis
- 2D, 3D fractal interpolation
- image denoising and restoration
- image indexing, thumbnail images
- fractal still image and video compression, wavelet and fractal
transforms, hardware
- audio, image and video watermarking
- fractal and compilers, VLSI design
- fractals and formal languages, cellular automata
- biomedical applications
- non classical applications
* PAPER SUBMISSION AND REVIEW PROCESS
All submissions will be reviewed by at least 2 members of the
International Programme Committee; additional reviewers may be
consulted if needed. The papers have to provide sufficient
information about the background to the problem, clearly indicate the
original contribution, evaluate the results, draw conclusions and
provide adequate references.
Full regular papers have a maximum of 7 pages long (including
figures) in times 11pt, A4.
We strongly recommend the use of LaTex format; the style macros will
be available soon at the conference web server (see below). Word
documents or other formats are also accepted, but only accompanied by
the corresponding PostScript files. Make sure that PS files are kept
within reasonable limits.
The papers can be sent by e-mail to mailto:jacques.blanc-talon@etca.fr
* PROCEEDINGS
All accepted papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings.

* CONFERENCE VENUE
As part of CISST, the workshop will be held in the Monte Carlo Resort
hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. This is a great hotel with excellent
conference facilities and over 3,000 rooms. The hotel is minutes from
the Las Vegas airport with free shuttles to and from the airport. This
hotel has many vacation and recreational attractions, including:
waterfalls, casino, spa, pools & kiddie pools, sunning decks, Easy
River water ride, wave pool with cascades, lighted tennis courts,
health spa (with workout equipment, whirlpool, sauna, ...), arcade
virtual reality game rooms, nightly shows, snack bars, a number of
restaurants, shopping area, bars, ... Many of these attractions are
open 24 hours a day and most are suitable for families and
children. The negotiated hotel's room rate for conference attendees is
very reasonable (79USD + tax) per night (no extra charge for double
occupancy) for the duration of the conference.
The hotel is within walking distance from most other Las Vegas
attractions (major shopping areas, recreational destinations, fine
dining and night clubs, free street shows, ...). For the benefit of
our international colleagues: the state of Nevada neighbors with the
states of California, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, and Arizona. Las Vegas is
only a few driving hours away from other major cities, including: Los
Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix, Grand Canyon, ...
