ICPR 2016 – Call for Bids

Call for bids to host ICPR 2016

The International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR) is the major scientific event organized under
the auspices of the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR).

The aim of this conference is to bring together international experts to share their experiences and to promote research and development in Pattern Recognition.

The conference is hosted by an institution under the auspices of an endorsing IAPR member organisation
(national association).

Any such organisation interested in making a proposal to host an ICPR must proceed according to the rules
outlined in the latest version of the guidelines document (http://www.iapr.org/conferences/proposals.php).

It is expected that Proposers familiarise themselves with the guidelines for organising ICPR first, to fully
plan their bid. The submission of a bid implies full agreement with the guidelines and procedures for
organising the conference as well as with the IAPR constitution.

Note: the current version of the guidelines is identical to the previous one (dated 8 December 2009) with the
exception of point 3 of section 5.2 where the skeleton organizational structure is better clarified.

Bids to host ICPR 2016 must be submitted to the IAPR Conferences and Meetings Committee by July 28th 2012.

The selection of the conference venue will be made by the IAPR Governing Board (GB) during its meeting at
ICPR 2012 in Tsukuba.

Organizations interested to organize ICPR 2016 should submit the bid to Simone Marinai (simone.marinai@unifi.it)
C&M chair by July 28 2012.
