Call for Workshops
The ICPR-2006 Program Committee invites workshop proposals for the International
Conference on Pattern Recognition 2006. The workshops will be held on
August 20, immediately before the start of the main conference. The workshops
must be full-day.
The ICPR-2006 workshops will provide an informal setting where workshop
participants will have the opportunity to discuss technical topics in
an atmosphere that fosters the active exchange of ideas. Members from
all segments of the pattern recognition community are invited to submit
workshop proposals for review. Example topics are as those highlighted
in the Topics but proposers should not feel limited to these areas as
each proposal will be assessed according to individual content, proposed
structure and overall relevance. Workshop organizers will be responsible
for inviting speakers, ensuring their participation, ensuring submission
of preliminary texts and structuring and leading the discussion sessions.
Each workshop organizing committee will be responsible for producing a
Call for Participation in the workshop by March 15, 2006.
