PURPOSE / HISTORY:
IPCV'10 Conference is being held jointly (same location and dates)
with a number of other research conferences (WORLDCOMP).
WORLDCOMP is the largest annual gathering of researchers in
computer
science, computer engineering and applied computing. We anticipate
to have 2,000 or more attendees from over 85 countries
participating
at WORLDCOMP Congress. A number of individual research tracks of
the Congress have been held for many years; for example, PDPTA has
been held annually since 1995 (PDPTA'10 is the 16th annual
conference); ERSA has been held annually since 2001 (ERSA'10 is the
10th annual conference); ICAI has been held annually since 1999
(ICAI'10 is the 12th annual conference); IPCV has been held
annually since 1997 (IPCV'10 is the 14th annual conference;
originally it was offered as part of CISST). Other tracks of
WORLDCOMP Congress have similar records.
The motivation behind this federated congress is to assemble
a spectrum of affiliated research conferences into a coordinated
research meeting held in a common place at a common time. The
main goal is to provide a forum for exchange of ideas in a
number of research areas that interact. The model used to form
IPCV facilitates communication among researchers from all
over the world in different fields of computer science,
computer engineering, applied computing, and computational
biology. Both inward research (core areas) and outward research
(multi-disciplinary, inter-disciplinary, and applications) will
be covered during the conference. IPCV makes concerted effort
to reach out to participants affiliated with diverse entities
(such as: universities, institutions, corporations, government
agencies, and research centers/labs) from all over the world.
IPCV'10 will be composed of research presentations, keynote
lectures, invited presentations, tutorials, panel discussions,
and poster presentations. In recent past, keynote/tutorial/panel
speakers have included (as part of the federated event):
Prof. David A. Patterson (pioneer/computer architecture, U. of
California, Berkeley), Dr. K. Eric Drexler (known as Father of
Nanotechnology), Prof. John H. Holland (known as Father of
Genetic Algorithms; U. of Michigan), Prof. Ian Foster (known as
Father of Grid Computing; U. of Chicago & ANL), Prof. Ruzena
Bajcsy (pioneer/VR, U. of California, Berkeley), Prof. Barry
Vercoe (Founding member of MIT Media Lab, MIT), Dr. Jim Gettys
(known as X-man, developer of X Window System, xhost; OLPC),
Prof. John Koza (known as Father of Genetic Programming,
Stanford U.), Prof. Brian D. Athey (NIH Program Director, U. of
Michigan), Prof. Viktor K. Prasanna (pioneer, U. of Southern
California), Dr. Jose L. Munoz (NSF Program Director and
Consultant), Prof. Jun Liu (Broad Institute of MIT & Harvard U.),
Anousheh Ansari (CEO, Prodea Systems & first female private
space explorer), and many other distinguished speakers. To get

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS, PUBLICATION, INDEXING INFORMATION:
Prospective authors are invited to submit their papers by
uploading them to the evaluation web site at:
http://worldcomp.cviog.uga.edu/
Submissions must be uploaded by March 1, 2010 and they must
be in either MS doc (but not docx) or pdf formats (about 5
to 7 pages - single space, font size of 10 to 12). All
reasonable typesetting formats are acceptable (later, the
authors of accepted papers will be asked to follow a
particular typesetting format to prepare their final papers.)
The length of the Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be
limited to 7 (IEEE style) pages. Papers must not have been
previously published or currently submitted for publication
elsewhere. The first page of the draft paper should include:
title of the paper, name, affiliation, postal address, and
email address for each author. The first page should also
identify the name of the Contact Author and a maximum of 5
topical keywords that would best represent the content of
the paper. Finally, the name of the conference (ie. IPCV)
must be stated on the first page.
Full papers will be evaluated for originality, significance,
clarity, impact, and soundness. Each paper will be refereed
by two experts in the field who are independent of the
conference program committee. The referees' evaluations will
then be reviewed by one member of the program committee who
will recommend a decision to the chair of the track that
the paper has been submitted to. The chair will make the
final decision. Lastly, the final papers will be reviewed
by one member of the program committee.
All accepted papers will be published in the respective
conference proceedings (in both, printed book form as well as
online). The proceedings will be indexed in Inspec / IET /
The Institute for Engineering and Technology, DBLP / Computer
Science Bibliography, and others.) The printed proceedings
will be available for distribution on site at the conference.
In addition to the publication of the proceedings, selected
authors will be invited to submit extended versions of their
papers for publication in a number of research books being
proposed/contracted with various publishers (such as, Springer,
Elsevier, IOS, ...) - these books would be composed after the
conference. Also, many chairs of sessions and workshops will
be forming journal special issues to be published after the
conference.
PROPOSAL FOR ORGANIZING SESSIONS/WORKSHOPS:
Each session will have at least 6 paper presentations from
different authors (12 papers in the case of workshops). The
session chairs will be responsible for all aspects of their
sessions; including, soliciting papers, reviewing, selecting, ...

May you read my article please? I know it has nothing to do with this
group but it may open your mind about something that you don’t know.
The position of woman in islam
In Islaam, the woman is accorded a high position which she was not
accorded in any of the previous religions and which no nation will
accord her but Islaam. This is because, the honour that Islaam
conferred on mankind is shared by both man and woman on equal basis.
Mankind are equal before rules of Allaah in this world as they will be
equal as regards His reward and recompense on the Last Day. Allaah
says, “And indeed, We have honoured the children of Adam.”[1] He also
says, “There is a share for men and a share for women from what is
left by parents and those nearest related.”[2] “And they (women) have
rights (over their husbands as regards living expenses) similar (to
those of their husbands) over them (as regards obedience and respect)
to what is reasonable.”[3] “The believers, men and women are auliya
(helpers, supporters, friends, protectors) of one another.”[4] “And
your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be
dutiful to your parents.
If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to
them a word of disrespect, nor shout at them but address them in terms
of honour. And lower unto them a wing of submission and humility
through mercy, and say; ‘My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy as they
did bring me up when I was young.’[5] “So their Lord accepted their
supplication (saying); ‘Never will I allow to be lost the work of any
of you, be he male or female.’[6] “Whoever works righteousness –
whether male or female – while he or she is a true believer (of
Islaamic monotheism) verily, to him we will give a good life (in this
world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and we shall
pay them certainly a reward in proportion to the best of what they
used to do.’[7] ‘And whoever does righteous good deeds, male or
female, and is a true believer (in the Oneness of Allaah), such will
enter paradise and not the least injustice, even to the size of a
speck on the back of a date-stone, will be done to them.’[8]This
honour that the woman enjoys in Islaam has no equal in any other
religion, creed or law. Roman civilization had had it established that
woman should be a slave and a subordinate of man and that she should
absolutely has no rights at all. There was even a great conference in
Rome where affairs of the woman were discussed.
The conclusion reached at the conference was that, the woman was a
lifeless being and as such could not have share in the life of the
hereafter and that she was impure.In Athens, woman used to be regarded
as a scraps. She would be sold and bought like any other commodity and
she was being regarded an abomination of Satan’s handiwork. According
to the ancient Indian statutes, the plague, death, hell, poison of
serpents and fire are all better than woman. Her right to live used to
end with the death of her husband – who was regarded as her master.
When she saw the corpse of her husband being burnt, she must throw
herself into it and if she did not, she would be accursed. As for
Judaism, the following judgement was passed on her in the Old
Testament. “I moved around with my heart in order to know, search and
look for wisdom and intelligence, and in other to know that evil is
ignorance and that stupidity is madness. And I found that worse than
death is woman who is a snare and her heart is like a shoelace and her
hands are shackles."[9] Such was the condition of woman in the ancient
times. As for medieval and contemporary times, the following events
explain that.The Danish writer, Wieth Kordsten explained the position
of the Catholic Church as regards woman when he said, “During the
medieval times, the concern that was had for European woman was very
limited and this is in conformity with the view of the Catholic creed
that used to regard woman as a second-class human being.”
In France, a conference was held in the year 586 A.D. where the issue
of woman was discussed as to whether she should be regarded as a human
being or not. At the end of the discussion, the discussants concluded
that she was a human being but that she was created for the service of
man.In French law, article 217 says; “The married woman- even if her
marriage is based on separation between her right of ownership and
that of her husband- should not give anyone ownership of anything of
her property with or without compensation except with the
participation of her husband in the transaction or his written consent
to that.”In England, Henry the VIII prohibited the English woman from
reading the Holy Book, until 1850, women were not considered citizens
of England and up till 1882, they had no personal rights.[10]As for
the condition of woman in contemporary Europe, America and other
industrial nations, she is regarded as a common creature that should
be utilized for commercial purposes, for she is a part of commercial
advertisement. This has even reached a situation where she is stripped
naked in order to advertise commodities on her body. Her body and
honour have become desecrated based on regulations laid down by men in
order to make her an object of enjoyment everywhere.
The contemporary woman is an abject of care and attention as long as
she is able to give out her wealth, intelligence and body. But when
she becomes old and loses her means of giving, the society
individually and collectively abandons her and she lives lonely in her
house or in the sanatorium.Compare the above – although they cannot be
equal – with what the Noble Qur’aan says, “The believers men and women
are friends of one another.”[11] “And they (woman) have rights (over
their husbands) similar (to those of their husbands) over them.”[12]
“And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you
be dutiful to your parents. If one of them or both of them attain old
age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect, nor shout at
them but address them in terms of honour. And lower unto them the wing
of submission and humility through mercy, and say: ‘My Lord! Bestow on
them your mercy as they did bring me up when I was young.’[13]While
Allaah honours woman, He makes it clear to all mankind that He created
her to be mother, wife, daughter and sister; and ordained for these
roles, special regulations that are peculiar to her.
