Call for papers: International Conference on Signal Processing and Imaging Engineering (ICSPIE 2008) From: International Association of Engineers (IAENG) San Francisco, USA, 22-24 October, 2008 http://www.iaeng.org/WCECS2008/ICSPIE2008.html The conference ICSPIE'08 is held under the World Congress on Engineering 2008. The WCECS 2008 is organized by the International Association of Engineers (IAENG), a non-profit international association for the engineers and the computer scientists. The conference has the focus on the frontier topics in the theoretical and applied engineering and computer science subjects. Our last IAENG conference has attracted more than one thousand participants from over 50 countries, and our IAENG conference committees have been formed with over two hundred committee members who are mainly research center heads, faculty deans, department heads, professors, and research scientists from universities like Harvard, MIT, Stanford, UCLA, UC Berkeley and Yale etc. All submitted papers will be under peer review and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceeding (ISBN: 978-988-98671-0-2). The abstracts will be indexed and available at major academic databases. The accepted papers will also be considered for publication in the special issues of the journal Engineering Letters, in IAENG journals and in edited books. Revised and expanded version of the selected papers may also be included as book chapters in the standalone edited books under the framework of cooperation between IAENG and Springer, and between IAENG and America Institute of Physics. For reference, the following post conference edited books of our recent IAENG 2007 conferences: Trends in Intelligent Systems and Computer Engineering, Advances in Communication Systems and Electrical Engineering, Advances in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research, and Advances in Computational Algorithms and Data Analysis, have been published by Springer.
