Preliminary Call for Papers
ISMM'2007
INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON MATHEMATICAL MORPHOLOGY
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
October 10-13, 2007
http://ismm.dpi.inpe.br
This symposium is the eighth in a series of international workshops
devoted to the area of mathematical morphology and its applications in
image and signal processing. The scientific program will include
invited talks, tutorials, contributed papers and poster
presentations. Participants will have the opportunity to be exposed to
the most recent developments in the field and meet colleagues from all
around the world. In addition, the city of Rio de Janeiro is
internationally renowned for its tourist attractions and natural
beauty, displaying a unique combination of beach, mountain, and
tropical rain forest all in one place.

CONFERENCE INFORMATION
The conference website for ISMM'2007 is hosted by the Brazilian
National Institute of Space Research (INPE), at the URL:
http://ismm.dpi.inpe.br/ The website is under on-going
construction. It will contain updated information about all aspects of
the conference, as well as author instructions for electronic
submission. It also contains the Call for Donations to the Henk
Heijmans Solidarity Fund. Upon registering for the conference,
participants will be given the option to contribute to this
fund. Additionally, the Organization Committee can be reached at the
e-mail address: ismm2007@ime.usp.br
SUBMISSION PROCEDURES
There will be three classes of submission to ISMM'2007:
* Tutorials
* Papers
* Abstracts (to be presented as posters)
Prospective authors are invited to submit contributions in one or more
of the categories above, using the electronic procedure described on
the conference web site. All submissions must be written in English
and include the names, addresses, and e-mail addresses of the
authors. Document length (including artwork and references) is limited
to 12 pages for papers and 2 pages for abstracts, with no a-priori
length limit for tutorial proposals (initial submission of tutorial
proposals may consist of extended summaries). Authors are strongly
encouraged to adopt the LaTeX typesetting system for submission
(appropriate style files will be available from the conference
website).
In case of problems with the electronic procedure, the authors are
advised to contact the Organization Committee at the address:
ismm2007@ime.usp.br
Acceptance of papers will be based on appropriateness of the topic,
quality, novelty, and clarity of exposition. Each paper will be
reviewed by at least two referees appointed by the Program
Committee. The reviews will be returned to the authors. Abstracts are
held to a lower requirement of novelty and completeness, and will be
reviewed by the Poster Session chairpersons. Tutorials will be
evaluated by the Organizing Committee for merit, breadth, timeliness,
and usefulness to the ISMM'2007 targeted audience.
All accepted contributions will appear in the online proceedings,
whereas accepted papers will also appear in the printed
proceedings. Both will be available at the start of the
conference. Final submissions of accepted contributions will have to
be prepared by the authors in camera-ready form using LaTeX, according
to style files to be provided on the conference web site (final
submissions do not include any audiovisual materials to be presented
during the conference). There are plans for a special issue of a
peer-reviewed journal in the field of image analysis, containing
expanded versions of the best papers, as judged by the Program
Committee (details to be announced on the website).
