PURPOSE
This conference is an international forum for researchers and
practitioners interested in the advances in, and applications of,
signal processing and pattern recognition. It is an opportunity to
present and observe the latest research, results, and ideas in these
areas. All papers submitted to this conference will be double blind
reviewed by at least two reviewers. Acceptance will be based primarily
on originality and contribution.

SPPRA 2008 will be held in conjunction with the IASTED International
Conference on:
Biomedical Engineering (BioMed 2008)
Computer Graphics and Imaging (CGIM 2008)


LOCATION
Innsbruck is nestled in the valley of the Inn River and tucked between
the Austrian Alps and the Tuxer mountain range. It has twice hosted
the Winter Olympics and is surrounded by the eight ski regions of the
Olympic Ski World, including the Stubai Glacier, which offers skiing
year round. Climbing the 14th century Stadtturm on Herzog Friedrich
Strasse provides a stunning view of the town and the breathtaking
scenery that surrounds it. Concerts at Ambras Castle provide listening
pleasure in a beautiful renaissance setting. The sturdy medieval
houses and sidewalk cafés of Old Town Innsbruck beckon you to sit for
a while and watch people stroll by.

Innsbruck, with its unique blend of historical, intellectual, and
recreational pursuits, offers something for every visitor. SPPRA 2008
will be held at the world-famous Congress Innsbruck, located in the
heart of the city, near the historical quarter.

author who will attend the conference and provide four key words to
indicate the subject area of your paper. At least one of the key words
must be taken from the list of topics provided under Scope. Initial
paper submissions should be approximately six pages. Formatting
instructions are available at: www.iasted.org/formatting-initial.htm.

All papers submitted to IASTED conferences must be previously
unpublished and may not be considered for publication elsewhere at any
time during IASTED's review period. Authors are limited to a maximum
of three paper submissions. Authors are responsible for having their
papers checked for style and grammar prior to submission to IASTED.
Papers may be rejected if the language is not satisfactory.

Notification of acceptance will be sent via email by November 1, 2007.
Final manuscripts are due by November 15, 2007. Registration and final
payment are due by December 1, 2007. Late registration fees or paper
submissions will result in the papers being excluded from the
conference proceedings.

Final Papers
Send your final manuscripts via email to: finalpapers@xxxxxxxxxxx The
subject line for the final manuscript submission must include your six-
digit paper number. The formatting instructions can be found at:
www.iasted.org/formatting-final.htm and must be strictly followed. The
page limit for final papers is six single-spaced pages in 10 point
Times New Roman font. Only one paper of up to six pages is included in

knowledge expected of the participants, objectives, time allocations
for the major course topics, and the qualifications of the
instructor(s).


SPECIAL SESSIONS
Persons wishing to organize a special session should submit a proposal
via email to: calgary@xxxxxxxxxxx Proposals should include a session
title, a list of the topics covered, and the qualifications and brief
biography of the session organizer(s). Papers submitted to the special
session must be received by September 15, 2007, unless otherwise
stipulated by the Special Session Organizer. A minimum of five papers
