papers presented in a single track, and posters. The proceedings of the
conference will be published by SPRINGER VERLAG in the series "Lecture
Notes on Computer Science.
It will be hosted by the Vienna University of Technology and organized
by the Pattern Recognition and Image Processing (PRIP) Group.
