ISVC 2014

CALL FOR PAPERS and SPECIAL TRACKS

10th International Symposium on Visual Computing (ISVC’14)

December 8-10, 2014 Monte Carlo Resort & Casino Las Vegas, Nevada, USA http://www.isvc.net

ISVC provides a common forum for researchers, scientists, engineers and practitioners to present their latest research findings, ideas, developments and applications in visual computing. We seek papers contributing to the state of the art and practice in any of the four central areas of visual computing: (1) computer vision, (2) computer graphics, (3) virtual reality, and (4) visualization. Of particular interest are papers that combine technologies from two or more areas. For a list of topics, see http://www.isvc.net ISVC'14 will consist of invited and contributed presentations dealing with all aspects of visual computing. In addition to the main program, the symposium will include several keynote presentations, special tracks, and a poster session. Significantly extended and revised versions of selected papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of the International Journal on Artificial Intelligence Tools (IJAIT) (ISI/SCIE indexed) and the Computers and Graphics journal(ISI/SCIE indexed). Also, a "best paper" award ($500) will be sponsored by industry (TBA). The symposium's proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in Lecture Notes in Computer Science.
