The proceedings book will be published by the Taylor & Francis Group, as happened with VipIMAGE 2007 (ISBN: 9780415457774).
The organizers will encourage the submission of extended versions of the accepted papers to related International Journals; in particular for special issues dedicated to the conference.
One possibility already confirmed is the International Journal for Computational Vision and Biomechanics (IJCV&B).
As what happened with VipIMAGE 2007, the organizers will also propose the publishing of a book by SPRINGER (ISBN: 978-1-4020-9085-1), under the Computational Methods in Applied Sciences series, with invited works from the most important ones presented in conference.

Important dates

• Deadline for Thematic Sessions proposals: January 15, 2009
• Submission of extended abstracts: March 15, 2009
• Lectures and Final Papers: June 15, 2009
