IISW 2015 Call for Papers

2015 International Image Sensor Workshop (IISW) to be held in Vaals, The Netherlands on 8-11 June, 2015 calls for papers:

The 2015 International Image Sensor Workshop will provide an opportunity to present innovative work in the area of Solid-State Image Sensors and share new results with the Imaging community. The workshop is intended for image sensor technologists and has limited attendance. As in the previous years, the workshop will emphasize active interaction and encourage exchange of information among the workshop participants in an informal and open atmosphere at a great venue. The scope of the workshop includes all aspects of electronic image sensor design and development. In addition to regular papers, the workshop will include invited talks, poster presentations and the announcement of the Walter Kosonocky Award winner.
