Contributions describing applications of Pattern Recognition techniques to real-world problems, interdisciplinary research, experimental and/or theoretical studies yielding new insights that advance Pattern Recognition methods are especially encouraged. ICPRAM 2017 will be held in conjunction with ICORES 2017 and ICAART 2017. Registration to ICPRAM allows free access to the ICORES and ICAART conferences (as a non-speaker). CONFERENCE AREAS: Each of these topic areas is expanded below but the sub-topics list is not exhaustive. Papers may address one or more of the listed sub-topics, although authors should not feel limited by them. Unlisted but related sub-topics are also acceptable, provided they fit in one of the following main topic areas: 1. THEORY AND METHODS 2.
