ICPR 2016 Call for Proposals
Demos, Exhibits, Contests, Tutorial and Workshop
================================================
The ICPR 2016 Organizing Committee invites proposals for demos,
exhibits, contests, tutorials and workshops in conjunction with the
23rd International Conference on Pattern Recognition
(www.icpr2016.org). These events will be held on December 04, 2016,
immediately before the main conference.
================================================
Demos, Exhibits
We seek demos and exhibits on core techniques, application areas and
emerging research topics that are of interest within the ICPR
community.
Deadline Demos and Exhibits proposal: July 01, 2016.
Acceptance Demos and Exhibits: proposal July 07, 2016
Contests
The aim of contests and challenges is to advance algorithm and method
development by objective evaluation on common data sets. The contest
organizer is responsible for providing good quality data and defining
objective evaluation criteria that are applied to the results of
submitted algorithms.
Deadline contest proposal: From March 01 to May 31, 2016.
Acceptance contest proposal: (FIFO) From March 07, 2016 onwards, constrained to our room facilities.

================================================
Tutorials
We seek tutorials on core techniques, application areas and emerging
research topics that are of interest within the ICPR community. A good
tutorial should provide a broad introduction to the chosen research
area as well as in-depth coverage on selected advanced
topics. Proposals that focus exclusively on the presenters' own work
or commercial presentations are not eligible.
Deadline tutorial proposal: July 01, 2016.
Acceptance tutorial proposal: July 07, 2016.

Workshops
Workshops provide an informal setting for discussing specific topics
in depth. Good workshops encourage discussion and interaction between
the participants. This can be achieved in a number of ways,
e.g. through presentations of submitted work, panel discussions and
hands-on sessions.
Deadline workshop proposal: March 01, 2016 to May 31, 2016, constrained to our room facilities.
Acceptance contest proposal: (FIFO) From March 07, 2016 onwards.

Proposal assessment
Each proposal will be assessed based on its scientific merit, proposed
