Euro-Par'97 =========== Announcing a Euro-Par'97 Workshop ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Image and Signal Processing and Special-Purpose Processors ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Program Committee: ------------------ * Patrice Quinton, IRISA--CNRS, Rennes, France, Chair * Hartmut Schmeck, University of Karlsruhe, Germany, Local Chair * Ed F. Deprettere, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands, Vice-Chair * Edward A. Lee, UC Berkeley, USA, Vice-Chair Deadline: --------- 20 January 1997 (paper) 1 February 1997 (electronic) General Description: -------------------- Euro-Par is the annual European conference in Parallel Processing. Like the 1996 conference in Lyon, the 1997 version will consist of a number of highly focussed workshops on all aspects of parallel processing, from theory to practice, from academy to industry. The workshops will present the latest advances in their respective domains. In addition, there will be a number of high-level tutorials of general interest plus a series of invited talks. Calls for papers for 20 workshops are being launched. All accepted papers will appear in the proceedings published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS Series. Workshop Description: --------------------- Workshop #10: Image and Signal Processing and Special-Purpose Processors Our evolving information society increasingly relies on efficient algorithms and architectures for Signal and Image Processing (SIP). Due to its extremely high performance requirements, SIP has always been one of the major application areas and one of the driving forces behind the design of special-purpose processors. New challenges arise from areas like computer vision or multi-media applications. Submissions are invited from academia and industry on various aspects of SIP: parallel architectures, methods for designing parallel algorithms, languages and environments for programming parallel architectures or for designing special-purpose architectures for SIP applications, applications of parallel processing in SIP, interactions between algorithms, architectures and their development and design methodologies. Topics of interest include: * parallel architectures and algorithms * dynamically reconfigurable architectures * parallel DSP systems * application specific parallel architectures * parallel custom computing machines for SIP * methods and tools for the design of SIP architecture * SIP design environments * computer vision * parallel video servers * signal and image compression * dependability and security of SIP Further information ------------------- is available at URL http://www.uni-passau.de/europar97/. It includes the list of all workshops. Please send all information requests and comments to europar97@fmi.uni-passau.de. Register today on the Euro-Par'97 mailing list by sending us a mail! See below for additional information. Official Address: ----------------- Euro-Par'97, Universitaet Passau, D-94030 Passau, Germany Phone: (+49) (851) 509-3071; Fax: (+49) (851) 509-3092 E-mail: europar97@fmi.uni-passau.de URL: http://www.uni-passau.de/europar97/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ---------------------- Submissions are expected to be no longer than 12 pages in the LNCS style (page size 12.2 cm x 19.3 cm, 12 pt Computer Modern font). Style files are on the Web at http://www.springer.de/author/tex/help-tex.html (for TeX click on PLNCS, for LaTeX on LLNCS). Text processors other than TeX or LaTeX may be used, but we strongly suggest that the submissions satisfy the LNCS specifications! Submitted papers must not be simultaneously under review for any other conference, and authors must point out any substantial overlap with their previously published work. Papers will be published in three categories: distinguished papers (12 pages), full papers (8 pages), and short papers (4 pages). Authors should state with their submission whether classification as a short paper would be acceptable. Except in extenuating circumstances, submission should be electronic. ! Electronic submissions are mandatory for all people having ! ! access to standard electronic facilities. ! ELECTRONIC SUBMISSIONS should consist of two e-mails: ---------------------- * the first one containing an ASCII cover page, giving the author's full name, address, phone and fax number, e-mail address, a 100-word abstract and keywords, as well as the workshop number (#10) and the workshop title (Image and Signal Processing and Special-Purpose Processors), * the second one with the printable file. Accepted formats are uuencode'd compressed EPSF PostScript files (most preferably generated by dvips). ! Important! We are sorry that we are unable to accommodate ! ! other file formats. If at all possible, please attempt to ! ! preview the document with Ghostview and print it on more ! ! than one brand/model of laser printers. If your program ! ! requests it, assume that the document will be printed on a ! ! 300 DPI standard PostScript Unix Sun laser printer. We will ! ! do our best to get all files printed. If a file cannot be ! ! printed in spite of all our efforts, we will have to reject ! ! the electronic submission. In case of doubt, send us a ! ! (possibly preliminary) paper version of the submission ! ! before the 20 January 1997 paper deadline (one copy is ! ! enough in this case). We will assume that the electronic ! ! version of the submission, if printable, is the final one. ! The files should be mailed to europar97@fmi.uni-passau.de and received at this address before 1 February 1997. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A FIRM DEADLINE. PAPER SUBMISSIONS are only allowed for people without easy access to standard electronic facilities. The cover page must clearly indicate the name, address, phone and fax numbers and e-mail address of the author(s), and contain a 100-word abstract and keywords. The workshop number (#10) and the workshop title (Image and Signal Processing and Special-Purpose Processors) relating to each submitted paper must also be clearly indicated on the cover page. Authors should send six copies of their submission to the official address, postmarked before 20 January 1997. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A FIRM DEADLINE. Proceedings: ------------ All accepted papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series. Proceedings will be available at the conference. Important Dates: ---------------- Register on the mailing list: Today! Deadline for paper submissions: 20 January 1997 Deadline for electronic submissions: 1 February 1997 Notification of acceptance: 2 May 1997 Final version due: 10 June 1997 Early registration: 30 June 1997 Euro-Par'97 in Passau: 26--29 August 1997
