CALL FOR PAPERS


The 48th International Symposium ELMAR-2006 focused on Multimedia
Signal Processing and Communications will be held in the beautiful
old town Zadar on the Croatian Adriatic coast. While the scientific
program is expected to create stimulating professional interaction,
the crystal clear Adriatic Sea, warm June atmosphere and wealth of
historic monuments promise a pleasant and memorable stay. The aim
of the symposium is to promote the interface of researchers involved
in the development, design and application of methods and techniques
within the framework of multimedia signal processing and communications,
multimedia applications, image and video processing, digital video
broadcasting (DVB), navigation systems, marine electronics, etc.
The scientific program includes keynote (plenary) lectures by eminent
international experts and contributed papers. Papers accepted by two
independent reviewers will be published in symposium proceedings
available at the symposium and abstracted in the INSPEC and IEEExplore
database (IEEE Conference Publication Program). ELMAR-2006 symposium
is sponsored by the Croatian Society Electronics in Marine (ELMAR),
technically co-sponsored by IEEE Signal Processing Society,
IEEE Region 8 and IEEE Croatia Section, and in coopearation with
EURASIP (European Association for Signal, Speech and Image Processing).
