ICDSC 2012 - 2012 Sixth International Conference on Distributed Smart Cameras (ICDSC)

Technological developments in imaging, processing, and networking have created an opportunity for multi-disciplinary approaches to applications based on vision. The extensive availability and use of cameras in various application domains calls for the study of new embedded processing systems and algorithms. After the successful meetings in Vienna (2007), Stanford (2008), Como (2009), Atlanta (2010), and Ghent (2011), the sixth edition of the ACM/IEEE International Conference on Distributed Smart Cameras will be held in Hong Kong, where the cultures and traditions of East and West converge into a vibrant cosmopolitan known for, among other things, its diverse offering of food and shopping experiences. The conference will attract researchers from multiple fields such as computer vision, pervasive computing, embedded systems and sensor networks.
Quality papers will be selected for special issues in the relevant journals. In the past, they include the IEEE Journal of Special Topics in Signal Processing and the ACM Transactions on Sensor Networks.

The conference invites researchers and industry-based developers to participate in a demo session and present the latest results implemented in related areas. Written material can be submitted as a 2-page demo paper. As with the previous editions, ICDSC 2012 will feature a PhD Forum where students present and defend their research topics and receive feedback from an academic jury.
Accepted papers (including demo and PhD forum papers) will be published and catalogued at IEEEXplore.
Special Session proposal deadline: 20-05-2012
Paper submission deadline: 10-06-2012
PhD Forum and demo papers deadline: 20-08-2012
