Iberian Conference on Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis IbPRIA 2005 is the second edition of the Iberian Conference on Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis and will be held in Estoril (Portugal) in June 7-9, 2005. IbPRIA is an international event co-organised every two years, by the Spanish and Portuguese Associations for Pattern Recognition (AERFAI and APRP). Its mission is to bring together researcher from all over the world working in Pattern Recognition and in all areas of Video, Image and Signal Processing. Participants will have the opportunity to meet colleagues working in these areas, to attend oral sessions and to exchange ideas during poster sessions. IbPRIA 2005 is sponsored by IAPR-International Association for Pattern Recognition and the conference proceedings are planned to be published by Springer in LNCS series. Topics The topics of the conference include, but are not limited to: Pattern Recognition Image Analysis Computer Vision Multimedia Systems Statistical and Structural Pattern Recognition Neural Networks Bioinformatics Image Coding and Processing Shape and Texture Analysis Biomedical Pattern Analysis Information Systems Speech Recognition Natural Language Analysis Document Processing Robotics Remote Sensing Industrial Applications of Pattern Recognition Special Hardware Architectures Paper Submission and Review Process Papers should describe original and unpublished work on the topics of the conference. Prospective authors should prepare a full paper, written in english, not exceeding 8 pages and must submit it electronically. All manuscripts will be blind-reviewed by at least two members of the program committee. We are planning that all accepted papers will appear in the Springer LNCS series which will be distributed to all participants at the Conference. Submission implies that at least one of the authors has to register and to present the communication at the conference if the paper is accepted.
