The 13^th International Conference on Systems, Signals and Image Processing, IWSSIP 2006 is co-organised by the BUTE of Budapest, Hungary and TUKE of Košice, Slovakia, in co-operation with IEEE, IEE, IEEE Region 8, IEEE Hungarian Section and EURASIP. IWSSIP 2006 is an International Conference on the theoretical, experimental and applied signal and image processing techniques and systems which brings together researchers and developers from both academia and industry to report on the latest scientific and theoretical advances, to discuss and debate major issues and to demonstrate state of-the-art systems. The IWSSIP 2006 program will also include a variety of special sessions and tutorials devoted to recent and important developments in the field.

As incorporated in its name, IWSSIP used to be a workshop meeting, however, it has evolved to a conference in the course of time. The Programme Committee has therefore decided to change its official designation, but, considering the historical values exhibited by this event, the traditional abbreviation shall be maintained further on.
