Instructions for authors

• The manuscript must be submitted electronically, as a PDF file.
• The conference accepts articles written in English or Portuguese, but the manuscript title and abstract must be written in English. Only articles written in English will be published in IEEE-CPS.
• The abstract should contain no more than 150 words, and the manuscript total length should not exceed 6 pages.
• The manuscripts should be formatted using the IEEE templates, which are blind-submission review-formatted templates ( link for the templates ).

Submission

Policies

• WVC 2017 reviewing is double blind, in that authors do not know the names of the area chair/reviewers of their papers, and area chairs/reviewers do not know the names of the authors.
• Avoid providing information that may identify the authors in the acknowledgments (e.g., co-workers and grant IDs).
• Avoid providing links to websites that identify the authors. Violation of any of these guidelines will lead to rejection without review.
• By submitting a manuscript to WVC 2017, the authors guarantee that it has not been previously published (or accepted for publication) in substantially similar form.
• It is the authors' responsibility to ensure that all authors on their paper have registered their conflicts into JEMS website. Conflicts are needed to resolve assignments to both reviewers and area chairs.

John Tsotsos

John Tsotsos is Distinguished Research Professor of Vision Science at York University. He received his doctorate in Computer Science from the University of Toronto. After a postdoctoral fellowship in Cardiology at Toronto General Hospital, he joined the University of Toronto on faculty in Computer Science and in Medicine. In 1980 he founded the highly respected Computer Vision Group at the University of Toronto, which he led for 20 years. He was recruited to move to York University in 2000 as Director of the Centre for Vision Research. He has been a Canadian Heart Foundation Research Scholar (1981-83), a Fellow of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (1985-95) and Canada Research Chair in Computational Vision (2003-2017). He has received many awards and honours including several best paper awards, the 2006 Canadian Image Processing and Pattern Recognition Society Award for Research Excellence and Service, the 1st President’s Research Excellence Award by York University on the occasion of the University’s 50th anniversary in 2009, the 2011 Geoffrey J. Burton Memorial Lectureship from the United Kingdom's Applied Vision Association for significant contribution to vision science. He was elected as Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 2010 and was awarded its 2015 Sir John William Dawson Medal for sustained excellence in multidisciplinary research, the first computer scientist to be so honoured. Over 125 trainees have passed through his lab. His current research focuses on a comprehensive theory of visual attention in humans. A practical outlet for this theory forms a second focus, embodying elements of the theory into the vision systems of mobile robots.

Cosimo Distante

Cosimo Distante received the degree in Computer Science in 1997 at the University of Bari and PhD in Engineering in 2001 at University of Salento. In 1998 he has been visiting researcher at the Computer Science Department of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst MA (USA) where has worked in the context of Perceptual Robotics and Artificial Neural Networks systems. He served as a teaching Assistant of the Artificial Intelligence Class of the University of Massachusetts. In 2001 he joined the Italian National Research Council CNR leading the signal and image processing laboratory. In 2009 he joined the National Institute of Optics. Since 2003 Dr. Distante is contract professor on “Image Processing” and “Pattern Recognition” in computer engineering at the University of Salento Italy. In 2011, Dr. Distante has been awarded with the national innovation Prize working capital PNI-Cube with the project Taggalo. In 2012 he has been awarded from the Senate President and Minister of Education University and Research of the Republic of Italy with the “Prize of the Prizes” for Innovation. Currently he is with the Institute of Applied Sciences and Intelligent systems ISASI “ScienceAPP” of the CNR. He chaired VAAM (Video analytics for Audience Measurement workshop), ACIVS 2016 (Int. Conf. on advanced concepts for intelligent vision systems) and IEEE AVSS 2017 (Int. Conf. on Advanced Video and Signal Based surveillance). His main research interests are in the field of computer vision and pattern recognition applied to: audience measurements, security and surveillance, robotics, medical imaging and manufacturing.
