| Goals of Publications 1. General aspects
The goal of the IRIS Lab is to significantly
increase the number of journal publications. We intend to balance
our publications to 50% journal publications and 50% conference
publications. The selection of a journal / conference is based on
the contents of the paper regarding
- the areas of interest of the journal / conference
- the length of the paper (short / long)
- the reputation of the journal / conference
- the quality / completeness of the paper
- he expected time until the article will be published
2. Journals to Target
The following shows a list of journals the IRIS
Lab intends to publish in. For each journal, we show the publisher,
the impact factor (IF), and the year the IF was calculated. Journal
impact factors are published by the Journal Citation
Reports of the Institute for
Scientific Information. A journal impact factor is a "measure
of the frequency with which the 'average article' in a journal has
been cited in a particular year or period". We are aware of the
controversial discussions on the role of impact factors. However,
we list the impact factors for 1999 as additional information about
the journal.

3. Conferences to Target
The main goal of the IRIS Lab is to target the
IEEE conferences and additional important international conferences
like, for example,
 | the International Conference on Image Processing ICIP, |
 | the International Conference on Pattern Recognition ICPR, |
 | the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition CVPR, |
 | the International Conference on Computer Vision ICCV, |
 | the Asian Conference on Computer Vision ACCV, |
 | the European Conference on Computer Vision ECCV, |
 | and some selected SPIE conferences. |

conferences and deadlines see, for example, the extensive list
