[Imageworld] CFP: PSIVT2009

[Akihiro Sugimoto]

          Preliminary call for papers: PSIVT2009
 The 3rd Pacific-Rim Symposium on Image and Video Technology
              
           Tokyo, Japan, January 13 - 16, 2009
               http://psivt2009.nii.ac.jp/                 
                (or http://www.psivt.org/ )

This symposium will provide a forum for presenting and exploring 
the newest research and development in image and video technology. 
The symposium combines a conference with an exhibition (showing 
the latest products in image and video technology), and offers 
also tutorials. The symposium will bring together technical issues, 
theory and practice, artistic and consumer innovations, and invites 
researchers, artists, developers, educators, performers, and 
practitioners of image and video technology from the Pacific Rim 
and around the world.

All papers will be subject to a double-blind review process which 
will be carried out by at least two experienced researchers in the 
field. Details on paper submission will be available at the 
conference website: http://psivt2009.nii.ac.jp/
