Call for Papers

Authors are invited to submit the following types of papers:

  • Regular Papers (12 pages, with up to 2 extra pages for a fee) that entail a complete study with novelty in method, a systematic performance analysis, and related interpretation.
  • Short Paper (8-9 pages) that describe either a novel method with initial testing, or a previously reported method but with new systematic analysis that yielded unique performance insights.
  • Poster Paper (4-5 pages) that either report the progress of a new method being developed, or a proof-of-concept demo of a new method.

The work should not have been presented or published or being considered for review or publication by other conferences or journals.

The paper should be formatted according to Springer LNCS - Lecture Notes in Computer Science format. The page limit for each paper type includes an abstract, all text, figures, tables and references.

The sessions will comprise invited keynote speakers, oral and poster presentations. Regular or short papers may have these two types of presentations. Poster papers will be presented as posters. Authors are invited to submit papers under the conference topics, addressing original research developments.

Beyond the general topics of the conference ICIAR 2019 addresses the following focused topics:

  • Artificial Intelligence Tools in Machine Vision and Image Analysis
  • Advanced Tools for Ultrasound Imaging
  • Deep Learning in Biology and Medicine

A Springer prize with the total of 1000 Euros will be awarded to the three best papers of the conference.

The conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (Springer LNCS). Authors should refer to the Author's Instructions on Springer's web site for more information on paper format and to download the style/template files. Please note that instructions on Springer's web site may refer to the "camera-ready" version of a paper. Authors can use the same instructions for their first submission, as well as for the camera-ready version upon acceptance of their papers. (Authors are not required to submit a copyright form with their first submission.)
