Tutorial and Special Session Proposals:
Researchers, developers, and practitioners from related communities are invited to submit proposals for tutorials and special sessions on emerging topics and trends within the VCIP field. Proposals must include title, outline, contact and biography information of the presenter, and a short description of the material to be distributed. Tutorials will be held on December 1, 2019. Special session proposals must provide title, rationale, contact and biography
information of the organizers, and a list of possible papers with tentative title and abstract. Special session papers will undergo the same review process as regular papers.

Papers accepted for regular, special, and demonstration sessions must be registered and presented to ensure their inclusion in the IEEE Xplore Library. Awards will be given to the highest ranked papers in several categories. Additional information regarding paper and proposal formatting instructions and submission details can be found in the VCIP 2019 website at http://www.vcip2019.org/.

VCIP 2019 will recommend the top 10% ranked papers for submission to the IEEE Transactions on CSVT. Extended versions of these papers, compliant with TCSVT standards, will be invited to submit to the IEEE TCSVT and go through a thorough but dedicated review process and, if accepted, will be published in this IEEE Transactions.
