[Computational-biology] DGCI 2008 - 2nd Call for Papers

[DGCI 2008]

------------------------------------------------
             Second Call for Papers

    The 14th International Conference on
DISCRETE GEOMETRY for COMPUTER IMAGERY (DGCI 08)

            April 16th - 18th 2008
                Lyon, France 
         http://liris.cnrs.fr/dgci2008
------------------------------------------------

The aim of  the DGCI conference  is to gather researchers  in discrete
geometry and topology, and discrete models, with applications in image
analysis  and image   synthesis.  This edition   of DGCI follows   the
successful   2006 edition  held   in Szeged,   Hungary.  DGCI  2008 is
organized by  the  Multiresolution, Discrete  and Combinatorial Models
Team (M2Disco, Laboratoire LIRIS) of the University of Lyon.

Registration and paper upload are now opened (see http://liris.cnrs.fr/dgci2008).
