CALL FOR PAPERS

The 17th International Conference on Systems, Signals and Image Processing, IWSSIP 2010 is co-organized by UFF (Niteroi, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), in co-operation with SBC, ABCM, IEEE Latin America Transactions and IEEE Region 9/Latin American/South Brazil Section and Bahia Section.

As incorporated in its name, IWSSIP used to be a workshop meeting. However, it has evolved to be a conference in the course of time. The Program Committee has therefore decided to change its official designation, but, considering the historical values exhibited by this event, the traditional abbreviation shall be maintained further on. The program includes keynote and invited lectures by eminent international experts, peer reviewed contributed papers, invited sessions on related topics, industrial presentations and exhibitions around, but not limited, to the topics of IWSSIP. The IWSSIP 2010 program will also include a variety of special sessions and tutorials devoted to recent and important developments in the field.
