   There will be three classes of submission to ISMM´2007:

Tutorials
Papers
Abstracts (to be presented as posters)

   Prospective authors are invited to submit contributions in one or more of the categories above, using the electronic procedure described on the conference web site. All submissions must be written in English and include the names, addresses, and e-mail addresses of the authors. Document length (including artwork and references) is limited to 12 pages for papers and 2 pages for abstracts, with no a-priori length limit for tutorial proposals (initial submission of tutorial proposals may consist of extended summaries). Authors are strongly encouraged to adopt the LaTeX typesetting system for submission (appropriate style files will be available from the conference website).

   In case of problems with the electronic procedure, the authors are advised to contact the Organization Committee at the address: ismm2007@ime.usp.br

   Acceptance of papers will be based on appropriateness of the topic, quality, novelty, and clarity of exposition. Each paper will be reviewed by at least two referees appointed by the Program Committee. The reviews will be returned to the authors. Abstracts are held to a lower requirement of novelty and completeness, and will be reviewed by the Poster Session chairpersons. Tutorials will be evaluated by the Organizing Committee for merit, breadth, timeliness, and usefulness to the ISMM´2007 targeted audience.

   All accepted contributions will appear in the online proceedings, whereas accepted papers will also appear in the printed proceedings. Both will be available at the start of the conference. Final submissions of accepted contributions will have to be prepared by the authors in camera-ready form using LaTeX, according to style files to be provided on the conference web site (final submissions do not include any audiovisual materials to be presented during the conference). There are plans for a special issue of a peer-reviewed journal in the field of image analysis, containing expanded versions of some selected papers, as judged by the Program Committee (details to be announced on the website).
