Purpose

The IASTED international Conference on Visualization, Imaging, and Image Processing (VIIP 2007) will establish an international medium for the exchange of new ideas and practical experience between researchers and practitioners working in the fields of imaging, image processing, and visualization. It is an opportunity to present and observe the latest research, results, and ideas in these areas, as well as their applications.

VIIP 2007 will be held in conjunction with the IASTED International Conferences on:

• Applied Simulation and Modelling (ASM 2007)
• Power and Energy Systems (EuroPES 2007)
• Artificial Intelligence and Soft Computing (ASC 2007)
• Communication Systems and Networks (CSN 2007)

Important Deadlines

• Submissions due: May 22, 2007 (extended deadline!!!)
• Notification of acceptance: June 15, 2007
• Final manuscripts due: July 9, 2007
• Registration and full payment: July 13, 2007

Submission

• Initial Papers. Submit your paper via our website at: Submit a paper. All submissions should be in Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format. The IASTED Secretariat must receive your paper by April 10, 2007. Receipt of paper submission will be confirmed by email. Complete the online initial paper submission form designating an author who will attend the conference and provide four key words to indicate the subject area of your paper. At least one of the key words must be taken from the list of topics provided under Scope. Initial paper submissions should be approximately six pages. Formatting instructions are available at: Formatting initial. All papers submitted to IASTED conferences must be previously unpublished and may not be considered for publication elsewhere at any time during IASTED's review period. Authors are limited to a maximum of three paper submissions. Authors are responsible for having their papers checked for style and grammar prior to submission to IASTED. Papers may be rejected if the language is not satisfactory. Late registration fees or paper submissions will result in the papers being excluded from the conference proceedings.
• Final Papers. Send your final manuscripts via email to: Final Papers. The subject line for the final manuscript submission must include your six-digit paper number. The formatting instructions can be found at: Formatting guide and must be strictly followed. The page limit for final papers is six single-spaced pages in 10 point Times New Roman font. Only one paper of up to six pages is included in the regular registration fee. There will be an added charge for extra pages and additional papers.
• Tutorials. Proposals for three-hour tutorials should be submitted by April 10, 2007 via this Website address. A tutorial proposal should clearly indicate the topic, background knowledge expected of the participants, objectives, time allocations for the major course topics, and the qualifications of the instructor(s).
• Special Sessions. Persons wishing to organize a special session should email a proposal to this email by April 10, 2007. Proposals should include a session title, a list of the topics covered, and the qualifications and brief biography of the session organizer(s). Papers submitted to the special session must be received by April 10, 2007, unless otherwise stipulated by the Special Session Organizer. A minimum of five papers must be registered and fully paid in order for this session to be included in the conference program. More information on special sessions is available at this LINK.
• Journals. Expanded and enhanced versions of papers published in the conference proceedings can also be considered for inclusion in one of the IASTED journals. Information on the submission of papers to journals is available at HERE.

Whole proceedings as well as single papers can now be purchased online. "Please visit ACTA Press"http://www.actapress.com.
