CALL FOR PAPERS VISAPP 2009 - International Conference on Computer Vision Theory and Applications web site: http://www.visapp.org 5 - 8 January, 2009 Lisboa - Portugal proceedings indexed by ISI Proceedings, INSPEC and DBLP EI already agreed to index some of the VISAPP past proceedings and VISAPP-2009 will be considered by EI after their publication. best papers published by Springer-Verlag ************************************************************** Dear Colleague, VISAPP welcomes the submission of position, workshop, special session and doctoral consortium papers. A position paper presents an arguable opinion about an issue. The goal of a position paper is to convince the audience that your opinion is valid and worth listening to, without the need to present completed research work and/or validated results. It is, nevertheless, important to support your argument with evidence to ensure the validity of your claims. A position paper may be a short report and discussion of ideas, facts, situations, methods, procedures or results of scientific research (bibliographic, experimental, theoretical, or other) focused on one of the conference topic areas. The acceptance of a position paper is restricted to the categories of "short paper" or "poster", i.e. a position paper is not a candidate to acceptance as "full paper". All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, in paper and in CD-ROM support. Looking forward to receiving you paper submission. Don't hesitate contacting me should you have any question. Kind regards, Bruno Encarnação VISAPP Secretariat Av.
