The 8th International Conference on Computer Vision Systems (*ICVS 2011*) will take place in Sophia Antipolis on the French Riviera.
While most computer vision conferences focus on either algorithms or applications, ICVS addresses issues arising in the design and deployment of computer vision /systems/. Its scope includes but is not limited to the following topics:

* Building Vision Systems: paradigms, architectures, integration, control
* Real-time and Mobile Vision: embedded systems, non-standard hardware, mobile applications
* Vision for the Real World: robustness, learning, adaptability, self-assessment, failure recovery
* Vision for Action: robotics, human-computer interaction, perception-action loops
* Vision in Context: knowledge representations, reasoning, goal specification, context awareness
* Biological Vision: computer vision inspired by biology or psychology
* Performance Evaluation: benchmarks, methods and metrics

ICVS brings together researchers and developers from academe and industry around the world. Due to its perspective on systems, it is a platform for knowledge and technology transfer and for the identification of application-driven research questions.
