===============================================================================

CIARP'2010 will be held in São Paulo, Brazil, from November 8th to 11th, 2010.
This conference is supported by several scientific associations, including:
Cuban Association for Pattern Recognition (ACRP), International Association
for Pattern Recognition (IAPR), Mexican Association for Computer Vision, Neural
Computing and Robotics (MACVNR), Portuguese Association for Pattern Recognition
(APRP), Spanish Association for Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis
(AERFAI),
Special Interest Group on Pattern Recognition of the Brazilian Computer Society
(SIGPR-SBC), and Chilean Association for Pattern Recognition (ChAPR).

This conference will be a forum for the exchange of scientific results and
experiences, as well as the sharing of new knowledge, and the increasing of the
co-operation between research groups in pattern recognition and related areas.

*** VENUE ***

São Paulo (http://www.visitesaopaulo.com/) is the most cosmopolite Brazilian
city, with a broad set of opportunities for cultural life, shopping, sports,
museums, natural resources and restaurants. CIARP will be held on November
08-11, 2010, Monday-Thursday, so that attendees and families may visit
Brazilian
turistic places the weekends before and after the conference. Examples include
Rio de Janeiro and Foz do Iguaçu, which are less than 1 hour flying from São
Paulo.

The 15th edition of CIARP will take place in the campus of the University of
São Paulo (USP). Presentations will be held in the auditorium Prof. Francisco
Romeu Landi, of Escola Politécnica, whose location is listed below.
