International Workshop on Image Processing" Theory, Methodology, Systems and Applications 20-22 June 1994, Budapest, Hungary

The workshop is open to all aspects of image proc- essing including - Image coding, compression, restoration, archivation - Classification and understanding - Segmentation and feature extraction - Filtering, colour, texture and motion analysis - New approaches of fast algorithms - New fast algorithm oriented processing systems, pro-

cessor arrays - Parallel processing methods and algorithms - I m p l e m e n t a t i o n s of floating and fixed point arith-

metic DSPs - Parallel processing systems and computer vision - Systems and applications (biomedical, nuclear, com-

munications, robotics, remote sensing, industrial- quality control, etc.)

Objectives: - I n v i t e d tutorials providing the state of the art in

selected areas - P r e s e n t a t i o n s containing new, original and unpub-

lished material of research works - P o s t e r session dedicated to new approaches and

applications of fast processing algorithms - Round table to discuss and present open problems - Small exhibition Prospective authors are invited to send 4 copies of an

extended summary (4 pages in A4 format) to the Local Program Committee (Scientific Society for Telecom- munications, Budapest, Kossuth Lajos t6r 6-8, Hun- gary, H-1055). The first page should include the title and the author's names, addresses with phone and fax numbers.

The accepted papers will be published in the Work- shop Proceedings. The best papers will be selected for publication also in a special issue of journal on "Com- munications" published by the Scientific Society for Telecommunications.

EUSIPCO-94 VII European Signal Processing Conference 13-16 September 1994, Edinburgh, Scotland

The 1994 European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO-94), is the 7th biennial conference pro- moted and organised by EURASIP; the European Association for Signal Processing. Its aim is to cover all aspects of signal processing theory and applications. Sessions will include tutorials in addition to presenta- tions on new research results. An extensive technical exhibition will also be incorporated.

Papers describing original work are invited in any of the areas listed below, and will be presented in both oral and poster sessions. A four page copy of each paper will be published in the Proceedings of EUSIPCO-94. Acceptance will be based on quality, relevance and originality.
