First Announcement and Call for Contributions
Workshop on Computer Vision System Control Architectures
VSCA 2003
March 31, 2003
Convention Center Graz, Austria
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- In conjunction with ICVS 2003 http://dib.joanneum.at/icvs03
- Sponsored by ECVision http://www.ecvision.info and
CAVIAR project: http://www.dai.ed.ac.uk/homes/rbf/CAVIAR/
- Local organisation by Edinburgh University : http://www.dai.ed.ac.uk/homes/rbf
*** note that the www.dai.ed.ac.uk domain will be down for a few
*** more days due to a large fire in Edinburgh
--- SCOPE ------------------------------------------------------------------
Modern high-level vision algorithms must take account of greater options
than in the past:
alternative algorithms
alternative hypotheses
larger datasets
temporal activity sequences
coarse and fine grained processes
real-time interpretation systems
All these lead to vision systems with embedded specialized process controllers.
This workshop will bring together recent research into the issues involving
the control of the system's processing (in contrast to what the system is
processing). This means research that includes:
model-driven control architectures
data-driven control architectures
opportunistic control architectures
blackboard systems
reactive and behavior-based systems
The goal of the workshop is to invigorate a research area that has not
had much exposure in the past decade, but which is likely to become
important in the next decade as the research community shifts to problems
in data stream interpretation.

--- PROGRAMME --------------------------------------------------------------
INVITED TALKS:
TBD
REVIEWED PRESENTATIONS:
10 approximate 1/2 hour talks
The provisional set of paper titles (with associated abstracts) will be
available (also as PDF file) on March 3, 2003.
--- AUTHOR INFORMATION -----------------------------------------------------
This is intended to be an informal, work-in-progress workshop.
Therefore, we will only require submission of a 2-3 page extended
abstract for review. Those authors selected for presentation at
the workshop will be required to submit a revised abstract for the
final "proceedings", which will be the full set of abstracts.
SUBMISSION:
Please submit your abstract as a PDF email attachment to
rbf @ inf.ed.ac.uk
The abstract should be anonymous during the review process,
so please remove any indications of name and affiliation.
In the email body, please include the following information:
* Title
* Authors (first and last names)
* Affiliation of authors (institute, address)
* Corresponding author (including his/her address, email, phone, fax)
Abstracts will be considered for review that have also been submitted to the
main ICVS conference. Double submission must be indicated by authors.
