-- CALL FOR PAPERS -- -- Deadline for all submissions: November 12 2004 -- CAMP05 - Computer Architecture for Machine Perception July 4-6, 2005 - Palermo, Italy http://www.camp05.unipa.it Conference background and goals CAMP 2005 is the seventh in a series of workshops initiated with CAMP91 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 specialised 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 six IEEE CAMP Workshops have been very successful in meeting this goal. Format of the Conference The conference will comprise invited talks and oral presentations and poster session. The proceedings of the conference will be published in the form of IEEE Press. Types of submissions Full and short papers, posters/demonstrations, panels. All submissions are subject to a blind refereeing process. Topics Topics related to Computer Architecture are of interest and include best practice, case studies, strategies and tendencies in the following areas: . Architectures for image understanding, sound recognition, other senses . Smart sensors and sensor fusion . Configurable and FPGA-based perception architectures . VLSI architectures in perception (including co-design, low power etc.) . Coprocessors and instruction set architecture extensions . Parallel architectures and algorithms for machine perception . Real-time embedded systems (re-configurable, heterogeneous, etc.) . Grid computing applied to perception . Parallel video/audio servers . Neural network and genetic algorithm applications in perception . Rule-based systems, learning and knowledge-based perception machines . Languages, software environments and programming tools . Architectural performance evaluation . Design methodology for perception systems . Internet imaging . Wearable computers . Special purpose architectures: mobile robots, remote sensing, biomedical . etc. Invited speakers . George DJORGOVSKI, Calteh Astronomy, USA . Ebroul IZQUIERDO, Queen Mary, University of London, UK .
