The 2013 International
Conference on
Image Processing, Computer Vision, and
Pattern Recognition
IPCV'13
July 22-25, 2013, Las Vegas,
USA
INDEXING:
The
proceedings/books of this conference WILL BE indexed and integrated into
Elsevier indexing products (Elsevier products include, among others: Scopus, www.info.scopus.com; Engineering Village, www.ei.org; EMBASE, www.info.embase.com; and others.) The above is already
approved.
In addition, the
proceedings will also be indexed by a number of other science citation
databases that track citation frequency/data for each paper.
You are invited
to submit a full paper for consideration. All accepted papers will be published
in printed conference books/proceedings (ISBN) and will also be made available
online. Like prior years, extended versions of selected papers (about 35%) will
appear in journals and edited research books (publishers include: Springer,
Elsevier, BMC, and others).
In addition to
the above, we have arranged two new book series; one with Elsevier publishers
(Transactions on Computer Science and Applied Computing) and another with
Springer publishers (Transactions of Computational Science and Computational
Intelligence). After the conference, a significant number of authors of
accepted papers of our congress, will be given the opportunity to submit the
extended version of their papers for publication in these books. The web sites
for the two book series will be made available after the logistics are
finalized between our committee and the publishers (both book series projects
have been approved.) We anticipate having between 10 to 20 books a year in each
of these book series projects.
Each book in
each series will be subject to Elsevier and Springer science indexing products
(which includes: Scopus, Ei village, SCI, ...).

SUBMISSION OF
REGULAR PAPERS:
Prospective
authors are invited to submit their papers by uploading them to the evaluation
web site at: http://world-comp.org .
Submissions must
be uploaded by March 18, 2013 and must be in either MS doc or pdf formats
(about 7 pages including all figures, tables, and references - single space,
font size of 10 to 12). All reasonable typesetting formats are acceptable
(later, the authors of accepted papers will be asked to follow a particular
typesetting format to prepare their final papers for publication.) Papers must
not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication
elsewhere.
The first page
of the paper should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation, postal
address, and email address for each author. The first page should also identify
the name of the Contact Author and a maximum of 5 topical keywords that would
best represent the content of the paper. The name of the conference (ie, IPCV)
must also be stated on the first page of the paper as well as a 100 to 150-word
abstract. The length of the final/Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be
limited to 7 (two-column IEEE style) pages.
Each paper will
be peer-reviewed by two experts in the field for originality, significance,
clarity, impact, and soundness. In cases of contradictory recommendations, a
member of the conference program committee would be charged to make the final
decision (accept/reject); often, this would involve seeking help from
additional referees.
Papers whose
authors include a member of the conference program committee will be evaluated
using the double-blinded review process.
(Essay/philosophical
papers will not be refereed but may be considered for discussion/panels).
The proceedings
will be published in printed conference books (ISBN) and will also be made
available online. The proceedings will be indexed in science citation databases
that track citation frequency/data for each published paper. Science citation
databases include: Elsevier indexing products (SCI Elsevier products include,
among others: Scopus, www.info.scopus.com; Engineering Village, www.ei.org; EMBASE, www.info.embase.com; and others); Inspec / IET / The Institute

Research, CNRS, INIST databases, PASCAL (accessable from INIST, Datastar,
Dialog, EBSCO, OVID, Questel.Orbit, Qwam, and STN International); ipcv4042 and
others. The printed proceedings/books will be available for distribution on
site at the conference.
In addition to
the above, we have arranged two new book series; one with Elsevier publishers (Transactions
on Computer Science and Applied Computing) and another with Springer publishers
(Transactions of Computational Science and Computational Intelligence). After
the conference, a significant number of authors of accepted papers of our
congress, will be given the opportunity to submit the extended version of their
papers for publication in these books. We anticipate having between 10 to 20
books a year in each of these book series projects. Each book in each series
will be subject to Elsevier and Springer science indexing products (which
includes: Scopus, Ei village, SCI, ...).

GENERAL
INFORMATION:
IPCV is an
international conference that serves researchers, scholars, professionals,
students, and academicians who are looking to both foster working relationships
and gain access to the latest research results.
It is being held
jointly (same location and dates) with a number of other research conferences;
namely, The 2013 World Congress in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and
Applied Computing (WORLDCOMP). The Congress is the largest annual gathering of
researchers in computer science, computer engineering and applied computing. We
anticipate to have 2,100 or more attendees from over 85 countries.
The 2013
Congress will be composed of research presentations, keynote lectures, invited
presentations, tutorials, panel discussions, and poster presentations. In
recent past, keynote/tutorial/panel speakers have included: Prof. David A.
Patterson (pioneer, architecture, U. of California, Berkeley), Dr. K. Eric
Drexler (known as Father of Nanotechnology), Prof. John H. Holland (known as
Father of Genetic Algorithms; U. of Michigan), Prof. Ian Foster (known as
Father of Grid Computing; U. of Chicago & ANL), Prof. Ruzena Bajcsy
(pioneer, VR, U.
of California,
Berkeley), Prof. Barry Vercoe (Founding member of MIT Media Lab, MIT), Dr. Jim
Gettys (known as X-man, developer of X Window System, xhost; OLPC), Prof. John
Koza (known as Father of Genetic Programming, Stanford U.), Prof. Brian D.
Athey (NIH Program Director, U. of Michigan), Prof. Viktor K. Prasanna
(pioneer, U. of Southern California), Dr. Jose L. Munoz (NSF Program Director
and Consultant), Prof. Jun Liu (pioneer, Broad Institute of MIT & Harvard
U.), Prof. Lotfi A. Zadeh (Father of Fuzzy Logic), Dr. Firouz Naderi (Head,
NASA Mars Exploration Program/2000-2005 and Associate Director, Project
Formulation & Strategy, Jet Propulsion Lab, CalTech/NASA; Director, NASA's
JPL Solar System Exploration), Prof. David Lorge Parnas (Fellow of IEEE, ACM,

University, New Jersey, USA and former director of Division of Information and
Intelligent Systems, National Science Foundation, USA), Dr. Flavio Villanustre
(Vice- President, HPCC Systems), and many other distinguished speakers. To get
a feeling about the Congress's atmosphere, see the 2012 delegates photos
available at: http://infinitydempsey.smugmug.com/WorldComp
An important
mission of the Congress is "Providing a unique platform for a diverse community
of constituents composed of scholars, researchers, developers, educators, and
practitioners. The Congress makes concerted effort to reach out to participants
affiliated with diverse entities (such as: universities, institutions,
corporations, government agencies, and research centers/labs) from all over the
world. The Congress also attempts to connect participants from institutions
that have teaching as their main mission with those who are affiliated with
institutions that have research as their main mission. The Congress uses a
quota system to achieve its institution and geography diversity
objectives."
One main goal of
the Congress is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research conferences,
workshops, and symposiums into a coordinated research meeting held in a common
place at a common time. This model facilitates communication among researchers
in different fields of computer science, computer engineering, and applied
computing. The Congress also encourages multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary
research initiatives; ie, facilitating increased opportunities for
cross-fertilization across sub-disciplines.
MEASURABLE
SCIENTIFIC IMPACT OF CONGRESS:
As of December
2012, papers published in the Congress proceedings have received over 27,000
citations (includes about 2,000 self-citations).
