We are pleased to distribute the 2nd Call for Papers for the ICVS2008. 

ICVS 2008 is the 6th International Conference dedicated in advanced research
on Computer Vision Systems (http://icvs2008.info). The conference,
continuing a series of successful events in Las Palmas, Vancouver, Graz, New
York and Bielefeld, will now take place in Santorini, Greece on 12-15 May
2008. This year the theme of the conference is "Vision for Cognitive
Systems". 

In the past years, with the advances in microelectronics and digital
technology, cameras became a widespread media. This gave thrust to the
development of new and fast computer vision systems. To further encourage
the research in this area, this conference aims to gather researchers and
developers from academic fields and industries worldwide to explore the
state-of-the-art. The program committee invites you to attend the
conference, which will be held in the sunlit island of Santorini, and submit
papers on all aspects of computer vision systems including, but not limited
to:

-Computer vision from a system perspective: paradigms, applications,
architectures, integration and control; 
-Cognitive vision techniques for recognition and categorization, knowledge
representation, learning, reasoning, goal specification and context
awareness; -Methods and metrics for performance evaluation and benchmarking.

Besides the main conference program, workshops and keynote speeches will
allow practitioners building computer vision systems to exchange knowledge
and ideas.

Keynote speakers:
Dr. P. Anandan, Managing Director of Microsoft Research India.
Prof. Heinrich H. Buelthoff, director at the Max Planck Institute for
Biological Cybernetics.

The Proceedings of the ICVS 2008 conference will be published by Springer
Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series, which is indexed by
several major international indexers (e.g. ISI, INSPEC, DBLP). Submitted
papers will be double-blind reviewed (by at least three reviewers).

Important Dates

Paper submission deadline: 		11 November 2007
Notification of acceptance: 		13 January 2008
Camera ready deadline:: 		15 February 2008

Santorini, is a sunlit volcanic island of immense natural beauty. It is a
popular tourist destination and offers vacation activities for everybody.

We look forward to receiving a paper from you and meet you at Santorini.

Kind regards,

Antonis Gasteratos, Conference Chair
