NOTE:  the paper submission deadline has been extended from 26 September 2008 to 3 October 2008.

This website will provide you with all the information you need for PRASA 2008. The conference will be held on the 26^th - 28^th November 2008.

This symposium is the nineteenth one organised as the main annual event of the Pattern Recognition Association of South Africa (PRASA). PRASA is affiliated with the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR). Therefore, members of PRASA will also enjoy the benefits of the IAPR.

The conference will be held at the Sports Science Institute Conference Centre in Newlands, Cape Town. Students are encouraged to submit papers, and will receive special conference rates.

Following the trend of last year's conference. We will be trying to set up parallel sessions, so that more papers can be accommodated, and the people only have to attend those sessions that are of interest to them. Additional activities will include a welcoming cocktail, a conference banquet, and a social program.

This is a great opportunity to meet other like minded scientists in the pattern recognition field, and certainly a good ending to a busy year.
