Mathematical Morphology can be defined as a discipline for the analysis of spatial structures. It is called morphology because the analysis concentrates on the shape, form, and neighbourhood relations of these structures. It is mathematical because it relies on set theory (with emphasis on lattice theory), geometry, and topology. Mathematical Morphology offers to practitioners a wide range of effective methods and efficient algorithms for analysing digital images and other forms of spatial data.

The International Symposium on Mathematical Morphology (ISMM) has established itself as the main scientific event in the field. This edition of ISMM will be the eleventh in the series initiated in 1993 in Barcelona, and has never been this far North before. The goal of the conference is to bring together researchers, students, and practitioners of Mathematical Morphology, to present and discuss new advances in the field, be they purely theoretical developments or novel applications.
