2nd CALL FOR PAPERS

This symposium will provide a forum for presenting and exploring the newest research and development in image and video technology. The symposium
combines a conference with an exhibition (showing the latest products in image and video technology), and offers also tutorials. The symposium will bring
together technical issues, theory and practice, artistic and consumer innovations, and invites researchers, artists, developers, educators, performers, andpractitioners of image and video technology from the Pacific Rim and around the world.

Paper Submission
The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture
Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Articles should be preparedaccording to the LNCS recommendations and templates and theyshould be at most 12-page long. All papers must be submitted inelectronic format as PDF files in our online conference management
system before the submission deadline.
To maintain the highest possible standards, all submitted papers will
be subject to a double-blind review process which will be carried out by
at least three experienced researchers in the field. The review will berigorous and based on criteria related to the relevance (for thesymposium topics), originality, technical correctness, clarity and qualityof presentation.
More details on paper submission are available in our web-site.
