<br>
As many of you hopefully know already, the <b>19th International
Symposium on Multispectral Color Science</b> (MCS2017) will be
organized as a part of IS&T's 25th Color and Imaging
Conference (CIC2017), which will take place in Lillehammer, Norway
on September 11-15, 2017.<br>
<br>
The paper submission procedures will be fully integrated with the
normal CIC process. See the <a
href="https://www.imaging.org/site/IST/Conferences/Color_and_Imaging/IST/Conferences/CIC/CIC_Home.aspx">CIC</a>
home page and <a
href="https://www.imaging.org/site/PDFS/Conferences/CIC/CIC25_Call_for_Papers.pdf">CFP</a>
for details. <br>
<br>
Key points to retain include:<br>
<ul>
<li>Deadline for 4-6 page manuscript submission, March 1, 2017</li>
<li>Final papers due July 11, 2017</li>
<li>JIST-first option available; double publication in journal
and proceedings; submit final journal paper by March 1, 2017</li>
<li>Make sure to choose the category "Multispectral Imaging" or
"MCS2017" when submitting your papers<br>
</li>
</ul>
The 19th International Symposium on Multispectral Color Science
builds on a tradition started at Chiba University in 1999,
bringing together researchers from all over the world in the field
of spectral color science and imaging. While on a few occasions
MCS has been organized as a standalone event (e.g. in Taipei in
2007), mostly our strategy is to integrate with other established
conferences in related fields, such as AIC, SCIA, ICISP, and now
for the second time, CIC. This year we expect fruitful synergies
not only with the regular CIC program, but also with the three
workshops on cultural heritage, virtual reality, and medical
imaging, where spectral aspects are certainly relevant.<br>
<br>
The MCS Steering Committee consists of Francisco Imai (USA), Jon
Y. Hardeberg (Norway), Markku Hauta-Kasari (Finland), Bernhard
Hill (Germany), Alamin Mansouri (France), Yoichi Miyake (Japan),
Jussi Parkkinen (Finland), Norimichi Tsumura (Japan), Philipp
Urban (Germany), and Shoji Tominaga (Japan). Chair of MCS2017 is
Prof. Jon Y. Hardeberg.<br>
<br>
I hope to see many of you in scenic Lillehammer!<br>
<br>
Best Regards,<br>
