THEME:  An international forum for current work on data compression and
related areas. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Source
coding, quantization theory, parallel compression algorithms and hardware,
lossless and lossy compression algorithms for specific types of data
(including text, images, video, speech, music, maps, instrument data,
graphics, animation, and bit-maps), data compression standards, bi-level
coding, transform methods, wavelet and fractal techniques, string searching
and manipulation, closest-match retrieval, minimal length encoding and
applications to learning, system issues relating to data compression
(including error control, data security, indexing, and browsing), medical
imagery, scientific and space data.

SUBMISSIONS:
