         Aim and Scope
          
         Research on automatic face recognition in images has rapidly developed into several inter-related
         lines, and this research has both lead to and been driven by a disparate and expanding set of
         commercial applications.  The large number of research activities is evident in the growing
         number of scientific communications published on subjects related to face processing and
         recognition. 
          
         This special issue will focus on four of the most notable aspects of face recognition by computer: 
                          
                       ˇ        Face modeling
                       ˇ        Face detection and localization
                       ˇ        Identifying individuals by their face images
                       ˇ        Face expression recognition
                          
         Only original, high-quality papers -- in-line with the CVIU guidelines -- will be considered for
         publication in this special issue.  If an author is concerned whether  a potential submission falls
         within the scope of the special issue, please contact Dr. Aleix M. Martínez at aleix@ecn.purdue.edu.
          
          
         Submission Guidelines
          
         All papers should be submitted electronically via anonymous ftp. Files should be in PDF or PS
         format and should be named using the first author's full name (i.e. full_name.ps  or full_name.pdf;
         for multiple submissions full_name1, full_name2, etc. should be used). E.g. jane_doe.pdf
          
         Authors should also submit a cover letter with the following information: title of the submitted
         article, all authors full names, and, corresponding author's mailing address, day time phone
         number, FAX and e-mail. Authors should also specify the category of their paper: regular or short
         communication. Please, send all cover letters via e-mail to Dr. Aleix M. Martínez at
         aleix@ecn.purdue.edu
          
         The ftp submission should be done as follows:
