=====================================================================

CIARP'2010 will be held in São Paulo, Brazil, from November 8th to
11th, 2010. This conference is supported by several scientific
associations, including: Cuban Association for Pattern Recognition
(acrp), International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR),
Mexican Association for Computer Vision, Neural Computing and Robotics
(MACVNR), Portuguese Association for Pattern Recognition (APRP),
Spanish Association for Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis
(AERFAI), Special Interest Group on Pattern Recognition of the
Brazilian Computer Society (SIGPR-SBC), and Chilean Association for
Pattern Recognition (ChAPR).

This conference will be a forum for the exchange of scientific results
and experiences, as well as the sharing of new knowledge, and the
increasing of the co-operation between research groups in pattern
recognition and related areas.

=====================================================================

São Paulo (http://www.visitesaopaulo.com/) is the most cosmopolite
Brazilian city, with a broad set of opportunities for cultural life,
shopping, sports, museums, natural resources and restaurants. CIARP
will be held on November 08-11, 2010, Monday-Thursday, so that
attendees and families may visit Brazilian turistic places the
weekends before and after the conference. Examples include Río de
Janeiro and Foz do Iguaçu, which are less than 1 hour flying from São
Paulo. Touristic information, directions, etc. will be available
soon.

=====================================================================
The CIARP-IAPR Award to the best paper:

We are pleased to announce that an award, consisting of a cash prize
and a certificate, will be given to the author(s) of the Best Paper
registered and presented at CIARP 2010. The aim of this award is to
acknowledge and encourage excellence and originality of new models,
methods and techniques with an outstanding theoretical contribution
and practical application to the field of pattern recognition and/or
data mining. The selection of the winner will be based on the wish of
the author to be considered to the prize, the evaluation and
recommendations from members of the Program Committee and the
evaluation of the CIARP-IAPR Award Committee. This committee,
carefully chosen to avoid conflicts of interest, will evaluate each
nominated paper in a second review process, which will include the
quality of the oral and/or poster presentation.
