                              EVOIASP2006

            Eighth European Workshop on  Evolutionary Computation 
                 in Image Analysis and Signal Processing 

                   Budapest, Hungary,  10-12 April 2006

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  is 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.

The previous editions of the  Workshop were held in Gothenburg, Sweden
(1999),  Edinburgh, UK  (2000), Como,  Italy (2001),  Kinsale, Ireland
(2002), Colchester, UK (2003), Coimbra, Portugal (2004), and Lausanne,
Switzerland (2005).

The  workshop will be  part of  EvoWorkshops2006 and  will be  held in
conjunction with  EuroGP2006, the  9th European Conference  on Genetic
Programming,   and  EvoCOP2006,   the  6th   European   Conference  on
Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimization.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 

  applications of evolutionary computation to real-life IASP problems,    
  evolvable vision and signal processing hardware,
  evolutionary pattern recognition,
  hybrid  architectures  for machine  vision  and  signal  processing  
  including evolutionary components,
  theoretical developments,
  comparisons between  different evolutionary techniques and  between
  evolutionary and non-evolutionary techniques in IASP applications,
  time series analysis by means of EC techniques.

Submissions

Submit your  manuscript, at most 12  A4 pages long,  in Springer LNCS
format (instructions downloadable from
 http://www.springeronline.com/sgw/cda/frontpage/0,11855,5-164-2-72376-0,00.html)
using          the          online         submission          service
(http://www.ads.tuwien.ac.at/evoiasp06)  no  later  than November  11,
2005.  The papers will be peer reviewed by at least two members of the
program committee.  Authors will be  notified via email on the results
of the review by December 12, 2005.\\[-2mm]

The authors of accepted papers will have to improve their paper on the
basis of  the reviewers' comments and  will be asked to  send a camera
ready  version  of their  manuscripts,  along  with  text sources  and
pictures, by January  9, 2006. The accepted papers  will appear in the
workshop proceedings, published in Springer LNCS Series, which will be
available at the workshop.
