CALL FOR PAPERS ============================================================================ SITIS 2012 - The 8th International Conference on SIGNAL IMAGE TECHNOLOGY & INTERNET BASED SYSTEMS In cooperation with IEEE Technical Committee on Multimedia Computing (pending) November 25-29, 2012, SORRENTO - Naples, Italy http://www.sitis-conf.org/ ============================================================================ The SITIS conference is dedicated to research on the technologies used to represent, share and process information in various forms, ranging from signal, image, and multimedia data to traditional structured data and semi structured data found in the web. SITIS 2012 aims to provide a forum for high quality presentations on research activities centered on two main tracks: - The focus of the track on "Internet Based Systems and Computing" (IBCS) is on emerging and novel concepts, architectures and methodologies for information management. Novel architectures are being proposed to allow resource sharing and distributed processing of data with increasing complexity. Cloud computing, peer to peer computing, mobile information systems, semantic based applications, and decision support systems are a few examples of these applications and systems. - The track "Signal & Image Technologies" (SIT) focuses on recent developments in digital signal processing and pays particular attention to evolutions in audiovisual signal processing, analysis, coding and authentication, and retrieval techniques. More details about each track can be found in the attached files. ==== Workshops ==== * Complex Networks and their Applications * Situation Aware Computing * Colour and Multispectral Imaging * MultImedia Techniques for augmEnted Reality: PResence and Emotion in virtual environmenT (InTERPRET) ==== Submission and publication ==== The conference will include keynote addresses, tutorials, and regular and workshop sessions. Papers must be up to 8 pages and follow IEEE double columns publication format. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers for technical merit, originality, significance and relevance to track topics. Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings, published by IEEE Computer Society and referenced in IEEE explore and major indexes.
