Call for Papers
7th IAPR-TC15 Workshop on Graph-based Representations -- GbR 2009

Venue: Venice, Italy 
Workshop dates: 26-28 May 2009
Organizers/Chairs
Andrea Torsello, University of Venice (Italy)
Francisco Escolano, University of Alicante (Spain)
Luc Brun, GREYC ENSICAEN (France)


GbR is a biennial workshop organized by the technical committee 15
of the IAPR (http://www.greyc.ensicaen.fr/iapr-tc15/), aimed at
encouraging research works in Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis
within the graph theory framework.  GbR 2009 will provide a forum
for presenting and discussing research results and applications in
the intersection of pattern recognition and image analysis on one
side, and graph theory on the other side.  Several invited speakers
will present the state of the art in research fields concerned with
the conference topics.  Papers are welcome, describing original and
unpublished work about the topics concerning, but not limited to:
- graph matching,
- graph based image segmentation,
- irregular (graph) pyramids,
- graph representation of shapes,
- graph learning and clustering,
- graphs vs rigid structures (quadtrees, pyramids),
- graph transformations,
- data mining with graphs,
- belief-propagation methods,
- graph-cuts methods,
- graphs in constellation models,
- graphs in computational chemistry and bioinformatics.

Electronic submission is requested. The manuscript (not longer than 10
pages, formatted according to the LNCS instructions), should be send
to the scientific secretaria.  Prospective contributors are encouraged
to submit papers and to attend GbR2009.  Each paper will be reviewed
by at least two members of the program committee.

Accepted papers will be included in the proceedings of the workshop
published in the LNCS series of Springer.
Authors of best papers will be encouraged to submit a revised version
to a forthcoming special issue on graph based representations of the
Computer Vision and Image Understanding journal.
