====================================================================== EvoIASP 2015 ====================================================================== incorporated into Evostar 2015 (http://www.evostar.org) Copenhagen, Denmark, 8-10 April 2015 EvoApplications 2015 track on Evolutionary Computation in Image Analysis, Signal Processing and Pattern Recognition and ====================================================================== Special issue of ELCVIA on "Evolutionary Computer Vision and Image Analysis" ====================================================================== =============== CALL FOR PAPERS =============== Evolutionary algorithms have been shown to be tools which can be used effectively in the development of systems (software or hardware) for image analysis and signal processing in complex domains of high industrial and social relevance. EvoIASP, held yearly since 1999, has been the first European event specifically dedicated to the applications of Evolutionary Computation (EC) to image analysis and signal processing (IASP) and gives European and non-European researchers in those fields, as well as people from industry, an opportunity to present their latest research and to discuss current developments and applications, besides fostering closer future interaction between members of the three scientific communities. Since 2009, EvoIASP has become a track of EvoApplications, the Conference on Applications of Evolutionary Computation, one of the events which take place under the common name of Evostar. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - applications of evolutionary computation to real-life image analysis, signal processing and pattern recognition problems - evolvable vision and signal processing hardware - hybrid approaches to machine vision, signal processing and pattern recognition including evolutionary components - theoretical developments - comparisons between different evolutionary techniques and between evolutionary and non-evolutionary techniques in image analysis, signal processing and pattern recognition applications - time series analysis by means of EC techniques. ===================================================== Fast review track for the special issue of ELCVIA on "Evolutionary Computer Vision and Image Analysis" ===================================================== This year, authors of the best papers submitted to EvoIASP will be invited to submit an extended version of their paper to an upcoming special issue of "Electronic Letters on Computer Vision and Image Analysis"* (http://elcvia.uab.es/, open access and free publication journal, indexed in Scopus) and will benefit of a fast-track review of their papers. * Call for papers to be published soon. =========== Submissions =========== Submit your manuscript, at most 12 A4 pages long, in Springer LNCS format (instructions are downloadable from http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0) at http://myreview.csregistry.org/evoapps15/ no later than November 15, 2014. The papers will be peer reviewed by at least two members of the program committee. Authors will be notified on the results of the review in early January 2015. The authors of accepted papers will be invited to improve their paper on the basis of the reviewers' comments and asked to send a camera ready version of their manuscripts, along with text sources and pictures within two weeks from the notification of acceptance. The accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of Evo*, published in Springer Lecture Notes on Computer Science Series shortly after the conference. ================= Student Bursaries ================= We anticipate the availability of several bursaries for students and young scientists partially covering travel and lodging expenses and registration for the whole Evostar event. Priority will be given to young scientists who will present their work at the conference. ====================== Web address http://www.evostar.org ====================== =============== IMPORTANT DATES =============== Submission deadline: 15 November 2014 Notification: 7 January 2015 Camera-ready deadline: 21 January 2015 Bursary application deadline: late February 2015
