Scope  of the Workshop:
----------------------

CAMP 2002 is the sixth in a series of workshops initiated with CAMP
'91 in Paris. The CAMP workshops represent a continuation of the very
successful IEEE CAPAMI (Computer Architectures for Pattern Analysis
and Machine Intelligence) workshops held during the 1970's and 1980's.

The purpose of CAMP Workshops is to bring together researchers who
seek to improve the performance of machine perception systems through
a combination of specialized hardware and software. It will provide a
forum of discussion of new developments, latest results, innovations,
emerging technologies and new paradigms in design, construction,
deployment and evaluation of machine perception systems. 
The past five IEEE CAMP Workshops have been very successful in meeting
this goal. All papers will be presented in single-track sessions.
