CALL FOR PAPERS
NEW PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE SEPTEMBER 23, 2017 !!!!!
The 13th International Conference on SIGNAL IMAGE TECHNOLOGY &
INTERNET BASED SYSTEMS (SITIS-2017)
Jaipur, India, 04 December – 07 December 2017
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 spans two inter-related research domains that
increasingly play a key role in connecting systems across network centric
environments to allow distributed computing and information sharing. SITIS 2017
aims to provide a forum for high quality presentations on research activities
centered on four main tracks:
Track on Signal Image & Vision Technologies (SIVT)
The focus of the "Signal Image & Vision Technologies" (SIVT)
track is on recent developments in digital signal processing and pays
particular attention to evolutions in audiovisual signal processing, analysis,
coding and authentication, and retrieval techniques.
Topics of interest for track SIVT
Image acquisition, vision
Image acquisition devices and sensors
Device calibration, characterization and modeling
Image and video coding and compression
Multimodal and multi-sensor models
Image processing and analysis
Image filtering, restoration, enhancement
Computational geometry

Track on Multimedia Information Retrieval and Application (MIRA),
The focus of the “Multimedia Information Retrieval and Application” (MIRA)
track is on emerging modeling, representation and retrieval techniques that
take into account the amount, type and diversity of multimedia information
accessible in distributed computing environment.
Topics of interest for track MIRA:
Multimedia Analysis and Processing

Track on Intelligent Web Computing and Applications
(I-WeCA),
The focus of the “Intelligent Web Computing and Applications” (I-WeCA) track is
on emerging and novel concepts, architectures and methodologies for information
management, including the semantic web, big data, and cloud computing. Finally,
social networks have grown rapidly in size and have witnessed a popular
expansion to reach billions of users, providing a suitable space for sharing
data, interacting with other users and forming communities with common
interests.
Topics of interest for track I-WeCA:
Data Semantics and Web-Centric Systems
Ontologies and Conceptual Data Modeling
Knowledge Representation and Reasoning
Web Information Retrieval
Web Tools and Languages

Security, Privacy, and Trust
Semantic and Intelligent Services
Service Discovery, Selection, and Recommendation
Service Composition and Service-based data Integration
Track on Large, Heterogeneous Networks and their Applications (LHNA)
Watching streaming videos, uploading pictures and using cloud-based services
will make high demands on mobile networks. At the same time more devices will
be connected. Heterogeneous Networks, involving a mix of radio technologies and
cell types working together seamlessly, will play an important role to service
data hungry smartphones, especially in crowded areas.
The "Large, Heterogenous Networks and their Applications" (LHNA)
track aims at promoting original and unpublished research works covering
emerging and novel concepts, technologies, applications for categories related
to large and heterogeneous networks. This includes issues related to radio
(4/5G) and large wireless networks, traffic management, complex graphs,
semantic Web, Big Data, and network security.
Topics of interest for track LHNA
Large Network Analysis - methods, algorithms, processes, analytic tools
Graph processing / manipulation
Usage / implementation of Big Data algorithms
Avoiding fragmentation of the network graph
Dynamics and evolution patterns of social networks, trend prediction
Information broadcasting in Social Networks
Social analytic tools
Approaches based on Semantic Web Technologies
Ontologies for managing social networks
Social networks and cultural information
