| Description |
The purpose of the International Symposium CompIMAGE'10 is to provide a common forum for researchers, scientists, engineers, and practitioners around the world to present their latest research findings, ideas, developments, and applications in the area of computational modeling of objects represented in images. In particular, the Symposium aims to attract scientists who use various approaches - such as finite element method, optimization methods, modal analysis, stochastic methods, principal components analysis, independent components analysis, distribution models, geometrical modeling, digital geometry, grammars, fuzzy logic, and others - to solve problems that appear in a wide range of areas - as diverse as medicine, robotics, defense, security, astronomy, material science, and manufacturing.
The previous issue of this CompIMAGE symposium, held in Coimbra, Portugal, was recognized as very successful by the participants who came from 19 different countries and five continents. Information about it can be found <A HREF="http://paginas.fe.up.pt/CompIMAGE/CompIMAGE06/menu.html">here.
The special guest of CompIMAGE'10, <A HREF="http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/1985/hauptman-autobio.html">Dr. Herbert A. Hauptman (Nobel Laureate, President of the <A HREF="http://www.hwi.buffalo.edu/">Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute) will open the scientific program with a question-answer session and discussion.
Keynote talks will be given by <A HREF="http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~bajaj/"> Prof. Chandrajit L. Bajaj, University of Texas at Austin, <A HREF="http://users.isr.ist.utl.pt/~jsm/">Prof. Jorge S. Marques , Instituto Superior Tecnico, Lisbon, Portugal, <A HREF="http://www.med.unc.edu/~dgshen/">Prof. Dinggang Shen, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and <A HREF="http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/jessicaz/">Prof. Yongjie (Jessica) Zhang, Carnegie Mellon University.
The scientific program of the symposium will consist of keynote addresses, contributed papers, and posters. The symposium proceedings will be published by <A HREF="http://www.springer.com">Spinger's <A HREF="http://www.springer.com/west/home/computer/lncs?SGWID=4-164-12-72397-0">"Lecture Notes in Computer Science" series.

After the symposium, the authors of the best ranked papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their works for publication in special journal issues.
<font size="5">Topics</font>
The symposium will cover the following topics:
<LI>Image Processing and Analysis

<LI>2D and 3D Reconstruction
<LI>Discrete Tomography
<LI>Data Interpolation, Registration, Acquisition and Compression
<LI>Objects Tracking
<LI>Medical Imaging

</UL>
Prospective authors are invited to submit papers on some of the above or closely related topics. The submitted work should contain only results that are unpublished and not included in other articles considered for publication elsewhere. Thus, by submitting a paper, the author(s) warrant that neither this nor any other paper with essentially the same technical content has been published or submitted for publication anywhere else. More about the paper format and submission procedure can be found <A HREF="./submission.html">here.
In order to be accepted, a submitted paper will have to meet very high standards by satisfying serious evaluation criteria; to ensure maximal objectiveness, each paper will undergo a double-blind review process by three referees.
In addition to the papers addressing the above topics, a Special Track on Object Modeling, Algorithms, and Applications will take place as a part of CompIMAGE'10. Authors are invited to submit original papers describing mathematical models for various real problems and algorithms and software for these problems. The criteria for acceptance will be originality, efficiency and overall performance of the model and the algorithms, that is demonstrated by extensive experimental work.
The papers of the Special Track will be published in a volume of <A HREF="http://www.researchpubonline.com/">Research Publishing Services with ISBN. After the symposium, the authors of the best ranked papers of the Special Track will be invited to submit extended versions of their works for publication in special journal issues.
