KEYNOTE SPEAKER: Prof. Alberto del Bimbo --- University of Florence, Italy
The IASTED International Conference on Visualization, Imaging, and
Image Processing (VIIP 2008) will establish an international medium
for the exchange of new ideas and practical experience between
researchers and practitioners working in the fields of imaging, image
processing, and visualization. It is an opportunity to present and
observe the latest research, results, and ideas in these areas, as
well as their applications. All papers submitted to this conference
will be evaluated by at least two reviewers. Acceptance will be based
primarily on originality and contribution. VIIP 2008 will be held in
conjunction with the IASTED International Conferences on: Artificial
Intelligence and Soft Computing (ASC 2008) and Communication Systems
and Networks (CSN 2008).
LOCATION: Coastlines of fine sand and clear water abound on the island
of Mallorca, the commercial centre of the autonomous community of the
Balearic Islands. Mallorca is surrounded by the Serra Tramunta
mountains, offering spectacular views of the varied landscape,
including sheer cliffs that drop into the sea, cities of stunning
architecture, and Es Raiguer, Mallorca's agricultural
plain, where thousands of almond trees, orchards, and vineyards
thrive. Palma de Mallorca, the capital city of Mallorca and the
Balearic Islands, bustles with all types of tourist activities. Enjoy
strolling through elaborate gardens, walking the medieval city walls,
discovering breathtaking basilicas, cathedrals, and Arab baths dating
back to the thirteenth century, or visiting the many art galleries
that the city has to offer. If you find your way to the Paseo
Maritimo, you can join the Mallorcan locals at the Club de Mar for
exciting yachting adventures. After dark, the quaint bistros,
traditional Spanish bars, and small jazz and blues clubs will charm
their way into your fondest memories.
