Subject: CFP: Special Issue on Audio Coding, Indexing and Effects for Braodcasting Applications From: Jun Yang <luofujia@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 2 Feb 2009 09:22:01 -0800 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--_718f9a49-3550-44d6-9505-5db20234da02_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Call-for-Papers Special issue on Audio Coding=2C Indexing and Effects for Broadcasting Appl= ications International Journal of Digital Multimedia Broadcasting=20 http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijdmb/osi.html Traditional broadcasting and analog TV are being gradually replaced by adva= nced digital broadcasting systems including digital audio broadcasting=2C digital TV=2C Internet TV and audio streaming over IP=2C and so on. In these new digital applications and systems=2C audio processing is playing more and more role=2C which covers coding=2C indexing=2C capture=2C retriev= al=2C surround sound=2C classification=2C recording=2C watermarking=2C loudness control=2C transmission=2C other pre/post processing=2C and their convergen= ce to silicon-chip. More importantly=2C the fast growing of digital broadcasti= ng services in mobile/handheld devices makes the research and development of audio processing become very challenging tasks and require huge efforts of the related academic=2C research=2C industry=2C standardization organizations=2C regulation authorities=2C content providers=2C and service= s providers. This Special Issue aims to stimulate and guide the development of new and improved audio processing systems by providing a unique form with high quality and timely manner for scientists=2C engineers=2C broadcasters=2C manufacturers=2C software developers and others involved in the delivery and playback audio contents through broadcasting and IP based networks. It is also hoped that this special issue will attract a broad audience in audio engineering community. Topics = of interest of this special issue include but are not limited to: Advanced audio compression and classification systemsTheory and algorithms = of audio indexing and retrieval in broadcastingAudio segmentation=2C search= =2C and description (language=2C tools)Implementation (silicon-chip=2C soft= ware and embedded) of standardized audio codecs and audio formats as well a= s their conversionsStandardization development for audio coding and indexin= g (MPEG family=2C AVS=2C DRM and beyond)Audio effects and enhancement in br= oadcasting applicationsMultichannel audio coding and transmissionsCompatibi= lity and integration of multiple audio broadcasting standardsInternet strea= ming-audio quality=2C measurement and monitoringCombination indexing: audio= =2C speech and visual informationWatermarking with audio coding and indexin= g Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author G= uidelines=2C which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijdmb/gui= delines.html.
