==========================================================
The International Conference on Image Analysis and Recognition (ICIAR)
aims to bring together researchers in the fields of Image Processing,
Image Analysis and Pattern Recognition. The conference addresses recent
advances in theory, methodologies and applications. The scientific
program includes invited speakers and fully refereed contributions that
are published in the conference proceedings.

The ICIAR series of conferences is organized annually, alternating
between Europe and North America. ICIAR 2007 will be held in Montreal,
Canada.

Past conferences: In 2004, the first ICIAR conference was held in
Porto, Portugal. ICIAR 2005 was held in Toronto, Canada. ICIAR 2006 was
held in Pvoa de Varzim, Portugal.
