IMPRESS 2010 Call for Papers

Call for Papers 1st International Workshop Interactive Multimodal Pattern Recognition in Embedded Systems IMPRESS 2010 1st September 2010 http://web.iti.upv.es/~hendrik/IMPRESS-2010/ In conjunction with DEXA 2010 (Aug. 30 - Sept. 3, 2010) University of Deusto Bilbao, Spain Dates and Deadlines * Submission: 20 March 2010 * Notification: 20 April 2010 * Camera Ready: 20 May 2010 Scope Embedded computing systems enable highly optimized special-purpose services, such as pattern recognition (PR), provided by host devices. PR in embedded systems is one of the foremost examples of AI-based expert systems that have converted from theoretical studies to practical solutions in real-life applications. The spectrum of PR in embedded systems is vast. Recognized objects and events can be synthetic or biologic. Deployed methods can be analytical or statistical, programmed or hardwired, digital or analogue, supervised or unsupervised, etc. User interaction with such systems can be optical, phonetic, tactile or based on other kinds of sensors. Often, multiple modes of interaction and input data processing are provided by embedded PR systems. The diversity of aspects of interaction, multimodality and embedding of PR will receive special attention in the focus of IMPRESS. The workshop aims to raise awareness of, and foster the increasing importance of PR in Embedded Systems. IMPRESS provides a forum for presenting and discussing the state of the art, as well as on-going r & d and innovative system features in the field. We are calling for papers presenting original research results, innovative ideas, work in progress, industrial experience, case studies or position statements. In particular, we welcome submissions that highlight aspects of interaction, multimodality or embedding. In general, submitted work should deal with PR systems in areas including, but not limited to the following topics: * Analysis of Images, Signals, Sounds, Tracks, Videos * Applications: Automotive, Biometric, Data Mining, Domotic, Forensic, Gaming, Genomic, Medical, etc * Classification and Indexing of Items * Coding and Processing * Computer Vision * Databases and Digital Libraries for PR * Descriptors and Representation * Device- and Application-Embedded PR * Distributed, Clustered, Networked PR * Enhancement of Audio, Images, Video * Feature Detection * Filtering, Separation and Segmentation * Formal, Mathematical, Statistical Methods * Fuzzy and Hybrid Techniques * Hardware Acceleration of PR Algorithms * Implementations of PR Algorithms (DSP, FPGA, SoC, VLSI) * Machine Learning, Relevance Feedback * Morphology * Motion Tracking * Multimedia * Navigation (Aural, Tactile, Visual) * On-line and Off-line PR * Performance Evaluation * Recognition of Faces, Graphics, Objects, Shapes, Sounds, Text, Voices, Writings, etc * Retrieval of Images, Patterns, Sounds, Videos; Semantic Retrieval * Robotics * Sensor Systems * Similarity Metrics * System Design * Understanding of Audio, Images, Scenes, Video * User interfaces Submissions Authors are encouraged to submit an electronic version (preferably .pdf) of original unpublished work by March 20, 2010. Full papers must neither be published nor currently revised elsewhere, contain an abstract of up to 200 words, be written in English and not exceed 5000 words. The IEEE format of final versions of accepted papers is recommended. All papers submitted to IMPRESS 2010 will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings volume of the DEXA 2010 workshops. In case of questions or problems, please contact the IMPRESS organizers.
