CALL FOR PAPERS AND SPECIAL TRACKS

9th International Symposium on Visual Computing (ISVC'13)
July 29-31, 2013
Aquila Rithymna Beach Hotel
Rethymnon, Crete, Greece
http://www.isvc.net

ISVC provides a common forum for researchers, scientists, engineers
and practitioners to present their latest research findings, ideas,
developments and applications in visual computing. We seek papers
contributing to the state of the art and practice in the four central
areas of visual computing: (1) computer vision, (2) computer graphics,
(3) virtual reality, and (4) visualization.  Of particular interest
are papers that combine technologies from two or more areas. For a
list of topics, see http://www.isvc.net

ISVC'13 will consist of invited and contributed presentations dealing
with all aspects of visual computing. In addition to the main program,
the symposium will include several keynote presentations, special
tracks, and a poster session. A selection of best papers will be
published in a special issue of the International Journal on
Artificial Intelligence Tools (IJAIT) (ISI/SCIE indexed) and the
Computers and Graphics journal(ISI/SCIE indexed). Also, a "best paper"
award ($500) is sponsored by Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs
(MERL). The symposium's proceedings will be published by
Springer-Verlag in Lecture Notes in Computer Science.

Submission Procedure

Papers submitted to ISVC'13 must not have been previously published
and must not be currently under consideration for publication
elsewhere. A complete paper should be submitted in camera-ready
format. The length should match that intended for final
publication. The page limit is 12 pages. In submitting a paper the
author(s) agree that, upon acceptance, they will prepare the final
manuscript in time for inclusion into the proceedings and will present
the paper at the symposium.

Special Tracks

Proposals are invited for special tracks on any topic relevant to the
symposium. Special tracks are intended to stimulate in-depth
discussions in special areas relevant to the symposium theme. A
special track may span multiple sessions, depending on the quantity
and quality of the papers submitted. All papers accepted in a special
track will be published in the symposium proceedings. If you are
interested in organizing a special track, please email a special track
proposal to admin@isvc.net by February 1, 2013. Each special track
proposal should include the following information:

1. Title
2. Scope and Topics
3. Names of organizers and contact information
4. Initial special track committee
5. Anticipated number of papers
