AVSS is the IEEE conference series on video and signal based surveillance. AVSS was started in 1998 (Genoa, Italy). Following meetings were held in 2001 (Kingston, UK), in 2003 (Miami, USA), in 2005 (Como, Italy), in 2006 (Sydney, Australia), in 2007 (London, UK), in 2008 (Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA), in 2009 (Genoa, Italy), in 2010 (Boston, USA), and in 2011 (Klagenfurt, Austria). AVSS 2012 will be held in Beijing on 18-21 September 2012. AVSS is a forum of reference for the field and offers the opportunity to meet and foster collaboration. AVSS has a tradition of participation from the worlds of research, industry, and relevant government agencies. The conference focuses on underlying theories, methods, systems, and application areas. The list of topics of interest includes, but is not limited to:
