CALL FOR PAPERS and SPECIAL TRACKS

11th International Symposium on Visual Computing (ISVC'15)

December 14-16, 2015
Monte Carlo Resort & Casino
Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
http://www.isvc.net

ISVC provides a common forum for researchers, scientists, engineers and
practitioners to present their latest research findings, ideas,
developments and applications in visual computing. We seek papers
contributing to the state of the art and practice in any of the four
central areas of visual computing: (1) computer vision, (2) computer
graphics, (3) virtual reality, and (4) visualization. Of particular
interest are papers that combine technologies from two or more areas.

ISVC'15 will consist of invited and contributed presentations dealing with
all aspects of visual computing. In addition to the main program, the
symposium will include several keynote presentations, special tracks, and
a poster session. Significantly extended and revised versions of selected
papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of the
International Journal on Artificial Intelligence Tools (IJAIT) (ISI/SCIE
indexed). Also, a "best paper" award ($500) will be sponsored by industry
(TBA). The symposium's proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in
Lecture Notes in Computer Science.

*** Submission Procedure ***

Papers submitted to ISVC'15 must not have been previously published and
must not be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. A
complete paper should be submitted in camera-ready format. The length
should match that intended for final publication. The page limit is 12
pages. In submitting a paper the author(s) agree that, upon acceptance,
they will prepare the final manuscript in time for inclusion into the
proceedings and will present the paper at the symposium.

*** Special Tracks ***

Proposals are invited for special tracks on any topic relevant to the
symposium. Special tracks are intended to stimulate in-depth discussions
in special areas relevant to the symposium theme. A special track may span
multiple sessions, depending on the quantity and quality of the papers
submitted. All papers accepted in a special track will be published in the
symposium proceedings. If you are interested in organizing a special
track, please email a special track proposal to admin@isvc.net by April
13, 2015. Each special track proposal should include the following
information:

1. Title
2. Scope and Topics
3. Names of organizers and contact information
4. Initial special track committee
5. Anticipated number of papers
