Suite 808, 1220 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware, USA 19801
PURPOSE / HISTORY:
IPCV'06 is an international conference held simultaneously (ie, same
location and dates) with a number of other joint conferences as part of
WORLDCOMP'06 (The 2006 World Congress in Computer Science, Computer
Engineering, and Applied Computing). WORLDCOMP'06 is the largest annual
gathering of researchers in computer science, computer engineering and
applied computing.

PROPOSAL FOR ORGANIZING TECHNICAL SESSIONS:
Each technical session will have at least 6 paper presentations (from
different authors). The session chairs will be responsible for all
aspects of their sessions; including, soliciting papers, reviewing,
selecting, ... The names of session chairs will appear as Associate
Editors in the conference proceedings and on the cover of the books.
Proposals to organize technical sessions should include the following
information: name and address (+ E-mail) of proposer, title of session,
a 100-word description of the topic of the session, the name of the
conference the session is submitted for consideration, and a short
description on how the session will be advertised (in most cases,
session proposers solicit papers from colleagues and researchers whose
work is known to the session proposer). Mail your proposal to H. R.
Arabnia (address is given above); E-mail submissions are preferred. We
would like to receive the proposals by December 29, 2005.
SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:
Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft paper (about 5 to
8 pages - single space, font size of 10 to 12) to H. R. Arabnia by Feb.
20, 2006. E-mail submissions in MS document or PDF formats are
preferable (Fax or postal submissions are also fine.) All reasonable
typesetting formats are acceptable (later, the authors of accepted
papers will be asked to follow a particular typesetting format to
prepare their papers for publication.)
The length of the Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be limited to 7
(IEEE style) pages. Papers must not have been previously published or
currently submitted for publication elsewhere. The first page of the
draft paper should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation,
postal address, E-mail address, telephone number, & Fax number for each
author. The first page should also include the name of the author who
will be presenting the paper (if accepted) and a maximum of 5 keywords.
Also, the name of the conference that the paper is being submitted to
must be mentioned on the first page.
Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and
soundness. Each paper will be refereed by two researchers in the
topical area. The Camera-Ready papers will be reviewed by one person.
MEMBERS OF PROGRAM & ORGANIZING COMMITTEES:
The Program Committee includes members of chapters of World Academy of
Science (chapters: supercomputing; scientific computing; artificial
intelligence; imaging science; databases; simulation; software
engineering; embedded systems; internet and web technologies;
communications; computer security; and bioinformatics.) The Program
Committee for individual conferences is currently being formed. Those
interested in joining the Program Committee should email H. R. Arabnia
( mailto:hra@cs.uga.edu ) the following information: Name, affiliation and
position, complete mailing address, email address, tel/fax numbers, a
short biography together with research interests and the name of the
conference offering to help with.
LOCATION OF CONFERENCES:
The conferences will be held in the Monte Carlo Resort hotel, Las Vegas,
Nevada, USA (with any overflows at other near-by hotels). The Monte
Carlo Resort is a mega hotel with excellent conference facilities and
over 3,000 rooms.
