ICPR 2016 Workshop on Reproducible Research in Pattern Recognition Call for Papers


--------------------------------------------------
           ICPR 2016 Workshop on
   Reproducible Research in Pattern Recognition 
               Cancun, Mexico
              4 December 2016
          joint with ICPR 2016
        https://wrrpr2016.sciencesconf.org
---------------------------------------------------


Important dates:
----------------
  - Submission deadline: 31 August 2016
  - Author notification: 25 September 2016
  - Camera-ready: 1 October 2016
 
 
 
Aim :
-----

This workshop aims to give an overview of Reproducible Research (RR)
for authors, with a special focus on Pattern Recognition
algorithms. It is intended as both a participative short course on the
basis of RR with open discussions with the attendants, and also as a
practical workshop on how to do actual RR. Some existing
platforms and tools to do RR will be presented, and invited guest speakers will
explain how their platform and journal work.



Call For Paper:
---------------

This Call for Papers aims to attract two kinds of contributions.

The first one is dedicated to the general topic of Reproducible
Research in Computer Science with a potential link to Image Processing
and Pattern Recognition. For instance, papers describing experiences,
frameworks or platforms are welcome. Contributions might also include
discussion on software libraries.

In the second kind of contributions, authors will be invited to
describe their work in terms of Reproducible Research. For example,
authors of already accepted ICPR papers might propose a companion
paper describing the implementation details of their algorithm and
highlight how their work benefits from Reproducible Research. Among
the accepted contributions, a set of selected papers will be proposed
to be published in a special issue of the [IPOL](http://www.ipol.im/)
journal.

The tentative topics could overlap with the main topics of the ICPR tracks:

  - Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning
  - Computer Vision and Robot Vision
  - Image, Speech, Signal, and Video Processing
  - Document Analysis, Biometrics, and Pattern Recognition Applications
  - Biomedical Image Analysis and Applications

Submissions and general information
-----------------------------------

The submission format should follow the LNCS Springer layout with
length from 6 to 12 pages (extra pages can be requested if needed).
The peer-review process will be blind. We encourage to submit
Supplementary Material (such as source code or datasets) associated
with the submission, in order to help reproducibility.

The submitted papers should contains new original and high quality
work. Dual submission to RRPR and other conferences or journal are not
allowed. Each paper will be reviewed by at least two reviewers.

For submisssions describing a reproducible research result, a
special "Reproducible Label" will be decerned by the committee
according to the material provided by the authors.

Proceedings
-----------

The conference proceedings will be published by HAL or by Springer in
the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.
