ISMM’96 International Symposium on Mathematical Morphology Application to Image and Signal Processing III 11-13 May 1996, Atlanta,
International Society for Mathematical Morphology Co-operating organizations: European Association for Signal Processing (EURASIP) IEEE Signal Processing Society The International Symposium on Mathematical Morphology and its Applications to Image and Signal Processing (ISMM’96) will be held during 11-13 May 1996, in Atlanta. It is the third in the series of meetings of the International Society for Mathematical Morphology. It is intended as a forum to present important research results on the latest theoretical or practical developments in mathematical morphology and its applications. The exact time has been selected so that the symposium takes place between two other major conferences, ICASSP’96 (7-10 May) and ISCASP6 (12-15 May), which are also held in Atlanta in 1996. During May 1996 there will also be several international events in Atlanta related to the 1996 Olympic Games. Interested authors are invited to submit a summary of a paper to be presented at ISMM’96 and appear in its proceedings. The contents of the paper should be in any of the theoretical (deterministic or Elsevier Science B.V.

advanced medical image compression techniques applicable to various imaging modalities in all areas of medicine, as well as curently available methods and standards in specific applications. Emphasis will also be put on real implementations and clinical experience. A special debate will focus on existing data on clinical acceptability and image quality control after compression based on large scale multicentric experiments. Last but not least, the impacts of recent trends in the computer and multimedia industry and that of hardware & software developments on medical imaging and medical image communication will be debated.
