Mathematical Morphology is a discipline, based on rigorous
algebraic and topological foundations, which finds broad application in
signal and image processing. It was developed in the 1960´s by a group of
researchers, among them Georges Matheron and Jean Serra, working at the 'École des Mines
de Paris'. The International Symposium on Mathematical Morphology (ISMM)
has established itself as the main scientific event in the field. This
edition of ISMM will be the eighth in the series, and the first to be
held outside Europe, USA or Australia. The objective of the conference is
to bring together researchers, students, and practitioners of Mathematical
Morphology in a common, agreeable setting to present and discuss new
advances in the field of mathematical morphology.
