CALL FOR PAPERS and CALL FOR SPECIAL SESSIONS (WORKSHOPS)
Vienna, Austria
August 25th - August 28th 2008
IAPR-TC19 Workshop on Computer Vision for Cultural Heritage
in cooperation with
EVA Conferences International
======================================================================
Paper submission deadline: April 7th, 2008
======================================================================
Following the successful 1st EVA conference in Vienna in 2006, the
Pattern Recognition and Image Processing (PRIP) Group of the Vienna
University of Technology and the Austrian Computer Society (OCG)
invites authors and guests to the 2nd EVA conference in Vienna,
Austria, August 25th - August 28th, 2008. The conference is endorsed
by the TC19 Computer Vision for Cultural Heritage Applications of
the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR).
The main aim of this EVA Event in Vienna is to create a forum for
discussions between the cultural heritage research community,
technology researchers and cultural institutions. Our mission is to
establish new technical tools for experts in the cultural heritage
field. The accompanying motto of this conference is "Digital Cultural
Heritage - Essential for Tourism". The conference will focus on image
analysis, cultural tourism, speech and communication in cultural
heritage, archaeography, and museum and archaeological applications.
The focus will be on both applied work as well as theoretical advances.

Paper Submission
----------------
Prospective authors are invited to contribute to the conference by
electronically submitting a full paper in English of no more than 6
pages including illustrations, results and references. Layout
instructions and the electronic submission procedure are located

Therefore, submissions should be in pdf format in accordance with the
OCG publication guidelines, see:
http://www.ocg.at/publikationen/books/indexengl.html.
For submission the manuscript should not contain the authors' names and
affiliations for double blind reviewing. In addition to the manuscript,
the submission should include a summary page with title, authors' names,
affiliation and address, telephone, fax and e-mail, up to three keywords
and answers to the following questions (please answer each separately):
1. What is the original contribution of this work?
2. Why should this contribution be considered important?
3. What is the most closely related work by others and how does this
work differ?
4. How can other researchers make use of the results of this work?
5. Has this work been presented/submitted elsewhere?
6. Which form of presentation is preferred: Oral or Poster?
Important Dates

Best Student Paper Award
------------------------
The Best Student Paper Award will be given to the author of the best
paper written solely or primarily by a student appearing in the workshop
proceedings. The award includes a plaque and a prize to the student
author. Students at all levels are invited to submit papers, however all
papers submitted should be original manuscripts (not previously
published) and should not be submitted to other publications or groups
while they are being considered for the best student paper.
Eligibility for this award is indicated during the paper submission
process. The ranking of student papers to determine the winner is based
on four equal parts of (a) significance of the research, (b) clarity of
the written paper, (c) clarity of the presentation, and (d) reviewers'
average ranking. The paper must be presented by a student (or students)
to be eligible for the award. The program committee's decision will be
final with respect to best paper selection.
