-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Following the two successful previous editions of ICISP (Agadir 2001,
Agadir 2003), the Université de Caen Basse Normandie will organize the
next ICISP event in Cherbourg-Octeville, Normandy, France. ICISP aims
to provide researchers and practitioners from academia and industry with
a forum on the last developments in image and signal processing, multimedia
and computer graphics. The conference will also provide a unique opportunity
for sharing experiences from different backgrounds with the common interest in 
advanced in the above-mentioned fields. The scientific program of ICISP 2008
will include presentation of invited plenary talks, special sessions as well
as posters and regular sessions with contributed research papers.
