IWCIA’08 is the twelfth of a series of international meetings on combinatorial image

analysis. It will take place in Buffalo, NY, USA, April 7-9, 2008. Previous meetings

were held in Paris (France) 1991, Ube (Japan) 1992, Washington DC (USA) 1994, Lyon (France)

1995, Hiroshima (Japan) 1997, Madras (India) 1999,
<A HREF="http://mat.gsia.cmu.edu/DMANET/archive/0124.html">Caen (France,
2000), <A HREF="http://euclid.cs.qc.edu/iwcia/">Philadelphia (USA, 2001),
Palermo (Italy, 2003), <A HREF="http://www.tcs.auckland.ac.nz/~IWCIA04/">Auckland

Image analysis is a scientific discipline providing theoretical foundations and methods for

solving problems appearing in a wide range of areas, as diverse as medicine, robotics,

defense, and security. As a rule, the processed data are discrete; therefore, the "discrete

approach" to image analysis appears to be a natural one and has an increasing importance. It

is based on studying combinatorial properties of the considered digital data sets.

Combinatorial image analysis often features various advantages (in terms of efficiency and

accuracy) over the more traditional approaches based on continuous models requiring numeric

computation.




The scientific program of the workshop will consist of keynote addresses, contributed papers

presented in a single track, and posters. We are planning to publish the workshop proceedings

in the Springer’s "Lecture Notes on Computer Science" series.








<font size="5">Topics</font>




The Workshop will be a forum for current research on topics such as the following:



    <LI>Combinatorial problems in the discrete plane and space related to image analysis; lattice

    polygons and polytopes
    <LI>Discrete/combinatorial geometry and topology and their use in image analysis
    <LI>Digital geometry of curves and surfaces
    <LI>Tilings and patterns; combinatorial pattern matching
    <LI>Image representation, segmentation, grouping, and reconstruction
    <LI>Methods for image compression
    <LI>Discrete tomography
    <LI>Applications of integer programming, linear programming, and computational geometry to

    problems of image analysis
    <LI>Parallel architectures and algorithms for image analysis
    <LI>Fuzzy and stochastic image analysis
    <LI>Grammars and models for image or scene analysis and recognition; cellular automata
    <LI>Mathematical morphology and its applications to image analysis
    <LI>Applications in medical imaging, biometrics, and others

    </UL>


    Prospective authors are invited to submit a paper on some of the above or closely related

    topics. The submitted work should contain only results that are unpublished and not included

    in other work considered for publication elsewhere. Thus by submitting a paper the author(s)

    warrant that neither it nor any other paper with essentially the same technical content has

    been published or submitted for publication anywhere else.




    The emphasis of this Workshop is on theory. Therefore, considerable mathematical depth of the

    submitted works is expected. The authors should also make clear how their work is related to

    problems of image analysis. In order to be accepted, a submitted paper will have to reach

    very high standards by satisfying serious evaluation criteria. Each paper will be thoroughly

    reviewed by three referees. Double-blind review process ensures maximal objectiveness.




    Most of the papers will be presented orally. There will also be a Poster Session at which

    some of the papers will be presented as posters. All the papers will be published in the

    workshop proceedings. Traditionally, IWCIA’s proceedings are published in a volume of

    Springer’s LNCS series.





      <LI> <font size="4">Special Track on Applications</font>
      </UL>


      In addition to the theoretical research papers, a special track on applications will take

      place as a part of IWCIA’08. Authors are invited to submit original papers describing in

      detail working computer systems for image analysis. The algorithms should mostly be based on

      discrete/combinatorial approaches. Theoretical contributions are appreciated but not

      required. The criteria for acceptance will be originality, efficiency and overall performance

      of the computer system that is demonstrated by extensive experimental work. During a

      presentation the authors are expected to demonstrate the work of the software. Industry

      representatives will be welcome to these presentations.




      The accepted papers will be published in proceedings separately from the theoretical papers.

<font size="5">Paper Submission</font>




The workshop proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag in Lecture Notes in Computer

Science Series (pending approval).



Prospective authors are invited to submit a paper on some of the Workshop's or closely

related topics. The submitted work should contain only results that are unpublished and not

included in other work considered for publication elsewhere. Thus by submitting a paper the

author(s) warrant that neither it nor any other paper with essentially the same technical

content has been published or submitted for publication anywhere else.



All manuscripts must be prepared according to <A

HREF="http://www.springer.com/west/home/computer/lncs?SGWID=4-164-7-72376-

0&teaserId=45515&CENTER_ID=73062">LNCS requirements and submitted electronically by

October 10, 2007 in PDF format. The length should be between 8 and 12

pages. The manuscripts may not contain information revealing authors' identity.




Papers will be reviewed toroughly with an emphasis on potential to contribute to the state of

the art in the field. Each paper will receive at least three double-blind reviews

ensuring maximal objectiveness. Selection criteria will include mathematical depth, accuracy

and originality of the ideas, clarity and significance of the results, and presentation

quality.




The notification of acceptance will be sent by e-mail by November 10, 2007. The

accepted papers should be revised according to the referees' comments and submitted in

camera-ready form by December 5, 2007 together with all the source files and the

signed copyright form. The final version should be prepared following strictly LNCS

requirements. The length should not exceed 12 pages. Extra pages will be charged at rate $100

per page. Color pages usually cannot be printed.




A paper will be included in the proceedings only if at least one author registers by

December 5, 2007 and sends the workshop fee. This author takes the obligation to attend

the workshop and present the paper.
