Electronic Imaging: Processing, Printing and Publishing in Colour

Conference Chair: Jan Bares, Xerox Corp., USA;
Co-Chairs: Lindsay MacDonald, University of Derby, UK;
Giordano Beretta, Hewlett-Packard, USA

18 - 22 May 1998 * Zürich-Regensdorf, Switzerland

Internet with increasingly sophisticated desktop computing has become a primary customer for all stages of colour document creation, manipulation and printing. Burgeoning use of the Internet, together with streamlined workflows in colour publishing, require colour image management to become more automated and "invisible" to the user, trends which are exerting a major influence in the development of colour image processing and device technology. The growing availability of consumer-oriented colour peripherals, along with the rapidly declining costs of processing and storing colour images have led to a rapid development of many areas of Electronic Imaging and raised new issues such as document security and copyrights.

Abstract submission deadline: 1 December 1997. Authors anticipating a delay in meeting this deadline should contact the conference chairs.

Please note that the suggested length of the abstract is 500 words.
