In keeping with the practice of the community, proposals are now being solicited for hosting ICFHR 2014, the 14th International Conference on Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition. ICFHR is the premier event for identifying, encouraging, and exchanging ideas in handwriting recognition research, as well as for promoting novel applications at the frontiers of this important field. The single-track conference brings together leading researchers and practitioners in on-line and off-line handwriting recognition. Formerly known as IWFHR, past meetings have been held around the world in Montreal, Chateau de Bonas, Taipei, Colchester, Taejon, Amsterdam, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Tokyo, and La Baule. The 13th International Conference on Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition, ICFHR 2012, is scheduled to be held in Bari, Italy in September 2012. Individuals and groups who are interested in handwriting recognition research are invited to submit proposals for organizing and hosting ICFHR 2014. According to the normal rotation, the year 2014 would see the conference located somewhere in the Americas, but proposals from other locales are encouraged as well. Proposals should be sent to: Dan Lopresti, TC-11 Chair, lopresti@cse.lehigh.edu Koichi Kise, TC-11 Vice Chair, kise@cs.osakafu-u.ac.jp The deadline for submitting written proposals is Monday, November 8. Feedback will be provided and selected proposers will be invited to make brief presentations to the community during a special session at ICFHR 2010 in Kolkata. A vote by the members of the community in attendance will then be taken to determine the winning bid. The special session is scheduled for late afternoon on Wednesday, November 17. Questions concerning the proposal process can be addressed to Dan Lopresti and Koichi Kise. ============================================================================ ========== Call for Contributions ========================================== This newsletter needs your support in order to provide useful information to the TC11 community.
