CAMP05 - Computer Architecture for Machine Perception
July 4-6, 2005 - Palermo, Italy
http://www.camp05.unipa.it

Conference background and goals
  CAMP  2005  is  the  seventh in a series of workshops initiated
  with  CAMP91  in  Paris.  The  CAMP   workshops   represent   a
  continuation  of  the  very  successful  IEEE  CAPAMI (Computer
  Architectures for Pattern Analysis  and  Machine  Intelligence)
  workshops  held  during  the  1970's and 1980's. The purpose of
  CAMP Workshops is to bring together  researchers  who  seek  to
  improve the performance of machine perception systems through a
  combination  of  specialised  hardware  and  software.  It will
  provide a forum  of  discussion  of  new  developments,  latest
  results,  innovations,  emerging technologies and new paradigms
  in design, construction, deployment and evaluation  of  machine
  perception  systems. The past six IEEE CAMP Workshops have been
  very successful in meeting this goal.

Format of the Conference
  The  conference  will   comprise   invited   talks   and   oral
  presentations  and  poster  session.  The  proceedings  of  the
  conference will be published in the form of IEEE Press.

Types of submissions
  Full and  short  papers,  posters/demonstrations,  panels.  All
  submissions are subject to a blind refereeing process.

Topics
  Topics  related to  Computer Architecture  are of  interest and
  include best practice, case studies,  strategies and tendencies
  in the following areas:
  . Architectures for  image  understanding,  sound  recognition,
    other senses
  . Smart sensors and sensor fusion
  . Configurable and FPGA-based perception architectures
  . VLSI  architectures  in perception  (including co-design, low
    power etc.)
  . Coprocessors and instruction set architecture extensions
  . Parallel architectures and algorithms for machine perception
  . Real-time  embedded  systems (re-configurable, heterogeneous,
    etc.)
  . Grid computing applied to perception
  . Parallel video/audio servers
  . Neural   network  and   genetic  algorithm   applications  in
    perception
  . Rule-based systems, learning and  knowledge-based  perception
    machines
  . Languages, software environments and programming tools
  . Architectural performance evaluation
  . Design methodology for perception systems
  . Internet imaging
  . Wearable computers
  . Special purpose architectures: mobile robots, remote sensing,
    biomedical
  . etc.
