The SEVENTH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON MULTIPLE CLASSIFIER SYSTEMS will be held at the Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague, Czech Republic, May 23-25 2007

MCS 2007 is the seventh workshop in a well-established series of meetings providing an international forum for the discussion of issues in multiple classifier system design. The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers from diverse communities concerned with this topic, including neural network, pattern recognition, machine learning and statististics. Information on the previous MCS workshops can be found on www.diee.unica.it/mcs.  The special focus of MCS 2007 will be on the application of multiple classifier systems in biometrics.
