A meeting of the ISS, the International Stereology Society, will be held in October of this year in Beijing. The meeting will be held October 19 to October 23, 2011. During that meeting new concepts in stereology will be presented along with studies that discuss the implementation of stereological methods.

The ISS, founded in 1961 and incorporated in 1963,
includes members from the fields of mathematics,
statistics, biology, and materials science. The
purpose of the ISS is to promote the exchange and
dissemination of information on stereology amongst
persons of various scientific disciplines and countries.
Stereology is nominally the science of determining
the spatial structure of materials on the basis of
sections and projections through the materials.
Furthermore, stereology embraces the analysis of
planar images per se, and three-dimensional probes
of materials. A main concern of the ISS is the
practical applications of stereology. The ISS
promotes such practical fields, including Image
Analysis and Processing, Stochastic Geometry,http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
Mathematical Morphology, Pattern Recognition,
and Fractal Geometry.

When information about the papers being presented becomes available I will post it.
