ISVC08

4th International Symposium on Visual Computing
December 1-3, 2008
Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

The purpose of the International Symposium on Visual Computing (ISVC) is to provide a common forum for researchers, scientists, engineers and practitioners throughout the world to present their latest research findings, ideas, developments and applications in the broader area of visual computing.

ISCV seeks papers describing contributions to the state of the art and state of the practice in the broad field of visual computing. In particular, ISVC is structured around four central areas of visual computing: (1) computer vision, (2) computer graphics, (3) virtual reality, and (4) visualization. In particular, we are interested in papers that combine technologies from two or more of these areas.

This is the third in the series of symposia following three successful meetings in 2005, 2006 and 2007. ISVC08 will consist of invited and contributed presentations dealing with all aspects of visual computing. In addition to the main symposium, the symposium will include several keynote presentations, special tracks, and a poster session. Two "best paper awards", each worth of $500, are sponsored by Siemens and Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs (MERL). In addition, Informatics Circle of Research Excellence (iCORE) offers a $500 award for the best paper in the special track on Analysis and Visualization of Biomedical Visual Data.

The symposium's proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.
