CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS
"Recent Advances in Multimedia Signal Processing and
Communications"
EDITED BY
Mislav Grgic, Kresimir Delac, Mohammed Ghanbari
To be published by Springer Verlag in the series
"Studies in Computational Intelligence"
DEADLINE (title and abstract): NOVEMBER 17, 2008
DEADLINE (full chapters): JANUARY 19, 2009
BOOK DESCRIPTION
With the continuous increase in the volume of multimedia
content in our everyday lives, multimedia signal processing
is becoming a more and more important research area. It is
the basis for creating content based on video, audio, images,
and text. High quality multimedia content delivery and
applications are making challenging demands on both
processing (high computing power needed) and management
(storing and delivering via various communication protocols)
data. For all these reasons, existing signal processing and
communication techniques are constantly being challenged and
improved by employing advanced computational intelligence
techniques.
We have envisioned this book as a survey of multidisciplinary
advances made in combining multimedia signal processing and
communication techniques with various computational
intelligence methods. Papers and studies which couple
theoretical advances with real-life application scenarios are
cordially invited. We shall also readily welcome high quality
survey articles that emphasize the research and application
of multimedia signal processing in a particular domain
(medicine, entertainment industry etc).
TOPICS
Topics to be addressed in the book include, but are not
limited to:
---> Multimedia Database Systems
---> Man-Machine Interfaces for Multimedia
---> Data Mining for Multimedia
---> Mobile Multimedia
---> Multimedia Content Analysis and Understanding
---> Multimedia Standards
---> Multimedia Information Systems

ABOUT THIS SERIES
The series "Studies in Computational Intelligence" (SCI)
publishes new developments and advances in the various areas
of computational intelligence - quickly and with a high
quality. The intent is to cover the theory, applications, and
design methods of computational intelligence, as embedded in
the fields of engineering, computer science, physics and life
science, as well as the methodologies behind them. The series
contains monographs, lecture notes and edited volumes in
computational intelligence spanning the areas of neural
networks, connectionist systems, genetic algorithms,
evolutionary computation, artificial intelligence, cellular
automata, self-organizing systems, soft computing, fuzzy
systems, and hybrid intelligent systems. Critical to both
contributors and readers are the short publication time and
world-wide distribution - this permits a rapid and broad
dissemination of research results.
