CALL FOR PAPERS and SPECIAL TRACKS 11th International Symposium on Visual Computing (ISVC\'15) December 14-16, 2015 Monte Carlo Resort & Casino Las Vegas, Nevada, USA http://www.isvc.net ISVC provides a common forum for researchers, scientists, engineers and practitioners to present their latest research findings, ideas, developments and applications in visual computing. We seek papers contributing to the state of the art and practice in any of the four central areas of visual computing: (1) computer vision, (2) computer graphics, (3) virtual reality, and (4) visualization. Of particular interest are papers that combine technologies from two or more areas. ISVC\'15 will consist of invited and contributed presentations dealing with all aspects of visual computing. In addition to the main program, the symposium will include several keynote presentations, special tracks, and a poster session. Significantly extended and revised versions of selected papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of the International Journal on Artificial Intelligence Tools (IJAIT) (ISI/SCIE indexed). Also, a \"best paper\" award ($500) will be sponsored by industry (TBA). The symposium\'s proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in Lecture Notes in Computer Science. *** Important Dates *** Special track proposals: April 13, 2015 Paper submissions August 21, 2015 Notification of acceptance September 23, 2015 Final camera ready paper October 20, 2015 Advance Registration October 20, 2015 *** Keynote Speakers *** Fei-Fei Li, Stanford University, USA Ravi Ramamoorthy, UCSD, USA Claudio Silva, New York University, USA Oncel Tuzel, MERL, USA Evan Suma, USC, USA Luc Vincent, Google, USA (Area 1) Computer Vision Chairs: Pavlidis Ioannis, University of Houston, USA (Area 2) Computer Graphics Chairs: McGraw Tim, Purdue University, USA Elendt Mark, Side Effects Software Inc., USA (Area 3) Virtual Reality Chairs: Kopper Regis, Duke University, USA Ragan Eric, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA (Area 4) Visualization Chairs: Yang Jing, University of North Carolina, USA Weber Gunther, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA *** Submission Procedure *** Papers submitted to ISVC\'15 must not have been previously published and must not be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.
