Conference Name: 1st International Conference on Pattern Recognition
Applications and Methods (ICPRAM)

Venue: Algarve, Portugal


Event Date: 6-8 February, 2012

SCOPE

The International Conference on Pattern Recognition Applications and
Methods would like to become a major point of contact between
researchers, engineers and practitioners on the areas of Pattern
Recognition, both from theoretical and application perspectives.

Contributions describing applications of Pattern Recognition
techniques to real-world problems, interdisciplinary research,
experimental and/or theoretical studies yielding new insights that
advance Pattern Recognition methods are especially encouraged.
