It is an opportunity to present and observe the latest research, results, and ideas in these areas. All papers submitted to this conference will be peer reviewed by at least two members of the International Program Committee. Acceptance will be based primarily on originality and contribution. VIIP 2002 will be held in conjunction with the IASTED International Conferences on Artificial Intelligence and Applications (AIA 2002) and Communication Systems and Networks (CSN 2002). CONFERENCE CHAIR J.J. Villanueva - Computer Vision Center/Autonomous University of Barcelona, Spain LOCATION VIIP 2002 will take place in Benalmádena Costa, Málaga, in the heart of Spain's Mediterranean coast. The Costa del Sol is a 150-kilometer stretch of beaches and coves warmed by the Andalusian sun and tempered by the warm Mediterranean breeze. The coast's weather, with an average of 325 sun-filled days per year, is the best in Europe and makes the enjoyment of sports and outdoor activities a way of life. The conference venue is the Torrequebrada hotel, situated on the beach just 12 km from Málaga's International Airport. The history of the region dates back at least 20,000 years, and each civilization - Phoenician, Iberian, Roman, Muslim, and Christian - has left visible traces that continue to enrich contemporary culture. The white-washed mountain village of Mijas and the superb historical city of Granada are nearby. This area of Spain is also famous for its charming streets, wine, tapas, cathedrals, colour, music, monuments, and gardens.
