Best Paper Award

Selection of the best paper will be made at the Conference based on both the technical content and presentation. The winner will be chosen by the Technical Program Committee in consultation with the International Advisory Committee.

Paper Submission

Papers must be written in English and should describe original work in detail. Please download the template from the conference website and submit the full papers online http://www.icarcv.org by 1 April, 2010. Upon acceptance, authors will be required to register and present their papers.

Invited Sessions

Prospective organizers of Invited Sessions are invited to submit proposals focusing on topics of ICARCV 2010 to the Invite Session Chairs, Professors Lihua XIE (Control), Chien Chern CHEAH (Robotics and Automation) and Eric SUNG (Vision) by 1 April, 2010. Invited sessions are to provide a forum for focused discussions on new topics, or innovative applications of established approaches.

Keynote Addresses and Plenary Panel Sessions

Prominent researchers will give keynote speeches and participate in plenary panel sessions in control, automation, robotics and vision.

In the area of control , a keynote will be delivered by Professor Miroslav Krstic from the University of California, San Diego.
