Call for Paper ICAPR 2007 --------------------------------- The Objective: Some of the important concepts of pattern recognition are being redefined with the advancement of computational intelligence techniques. The pattern recognition community is active in integrating these advancements and in upgrading them to suitable tools tailor made for challenging applications. To recognize these achievements and to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to deliberate and exchange ideas on advances in pattern recognition, the Electronics and Communication Sciences Unit of the Indian Statistical Institute will be organizing the 6th International Conference on Advances in Pattern Recognition during January 2nd . 4th, 2007. The conference will be preceded by a one-day tutorial. Format: A number of oral paper presentation sessions in the areas of, but not limited to, approximate reasoning, artificial intelligence, atmospheric modeling, bioinformatics, computer vision, digital signal processing (including speech), wave propagation, evolutionary computing, fractals and chaos, fuzzy systems, neuro-computing, computational neuroscience, hybrid systems, image & video processing, visual cryptography, steganography and related mathematical tools & techniques will be organized under four major conference tracks: (i) Computational Intelligence (ii) Image and Video Processing (iii) Pattern Recognition (iv) Remote Sensing and Atmospheric Science All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, which will be made available during the conference. Proceedings will be published by World Scientific Publisher, Singapore. Location: The conference will be held in the Indian Statistical Institute Campus, which is in the northern fringes of the city of Kolkata. It is close to Kolkata international airport and two important railway termini of eastern India. Submission Procedure: Electronic version of full paper in appropriate format as specified in the conference website (not exceeding four A4 pages including figures and tables) should be submitted (PDF file only) thorough our online paper submission system. The paper will not be accepted for review if it is not as per format available through the conference website. Important Dates: Paper submission July 31, 2006 Acceptance notification Sept. 15, 2006 Camera ready copy due Oct. 01, 2006 For Further Details: ICAPR Secretariat Electronics and Communication Sciences Unit Indian Statistical Institute 203 B T Road, Calcutta 700108, INDIA.
