Call for Papers - SISAP 2024
===========================
=====================================================================
17th International Conference on Similarity Search and Applications
Providence, RI, USA, November 4th-6th, 2024
https://sisap.org/2024/
=====================================================================
=== Scope ===
The International Conference on Similarity Search and Applications
(SISAP) is an annual forum for researchers and application developers in
the area of similarity data management. It aims at the technological
problems shared by numerous application domains, such as data mining,
information retrieval, multimedia retrieval, computer vision, pattern
recognition, computational biology, geography, biometrics, machine
learning, and many others that make use of similarity search as a
necessary supporting service. From its roots in metric indexing, SISAP
has expanded to become the only international conference entirely
devoted to all issues surrounding the theory, design, analysis,
practice, and application of content-based and feature-based similarity
search. Since 2021, SISAP has been a CORE Rank B conference.
SISAP traditionally allows for research papers (full and short),
application papers (full and short), as well as demo (short), vision
(short), and position (short) papers.
The conference proceedings will be published by Springer as a volume in
the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Best papers will be
awarded along with a monetary prize. A small selection of the best
papers presented at the conference will be recommended for inclusion in
a special issue of Information Systems. These extended versions will be
subject to a second round of peer review at the journal.
