* Scope of the Workshop
Computational Intelligence techniques are adopted in many industrial
applications, like visual based quality control, image enhancement in
consumer electronics, image quality enhancement, video based recognition of
identity or behaviors, audio based speech recognition for enhanced human
like interaction with machines etc. It also has a strong impact in medical
applications, like medical image enhancement, semi-automatic detection of
pathologies, pre-filtering and reconstruction of volumes from medical scans
etc. Despite this growing diffusion, there are still many possible areas
where computational intelligence application is partial or could be extended
and improved, due to the actual limitations in terms of computational power
or strict requirements in terms of assurance of the results. 
This workshop aims to investigate the impact of the adoption of advanced and
innovative Computational Intelligence techniques in industrial and medical
applications. This edition of the workshop is focused primarily on image
processing and industrial and medical applications with special emphasis to
real time systems and image acquisition pipelines. The workshop will bring
together researchers on different disciplines from academia and industry
with a common objective: go beyond the frontiers of today industrial
applications of Computational Intelligence techniques. 

Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to:
- Imaging for Industrial applications
- Computational Intelligence approaches in Biomedical Signal Processing 
- Computational Intelligence approaches in Consumer Electronics
- Real-time Multimedia Signal Processing
- Intelligent User Interfaces
- Virtual-augmented reality for Healthcare
- Real-time digital images & watermarking 
- Real-time signal compression and analysis 
- Demosaicking and denoising in digital image acquisition pipeline
- Spatial and temporal estimation and protection of media streams
- Learning systems for signal and information processing and evidential
reasoning for recognition
- Soft computing approaches for embedded multimedia systems
- Real time signal processing & vision 
- Expert system for embedded system 
- Color and illumination processing

* Submission
Each submission should be at most 8 pages in total including bibliography
and well-marked appendices, and must follow the IEEE double columns
publication format available at:
- Microsoft Word DOC
- LaTex Formatting Macros
Paper submission will only be online via: Easy Chair.
Only pdf files will be accepted. Submissions not meeting these guidelines
risk rejection without consideration of their merits. All submitted papers
will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical
soundness, and clarity of expression by at least two reviewers. The
organizers will examine the reviews and make final paper selections.

* Publication
All the papers accepted for the workshop will be included in the conference
proceedings. The proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society.
Content will be submitted to the indexing companies for possible indexing.
They will be available at the conference. 

* Registration
At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the workshop.
Workshop registration fee is determined by SITIS. A single registration for
the workshop or the conference allows attending both events.
