CALL FOR PAPERS

The 49th International Symposium ELMAR-2007 focused on Mobile Multimedia 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 summer atmosphere and wealth of historic monuments promise a pleasant and memorable stay. The aim of the symposium is to promote the interface of researchers working in multimedia and mobile networking fields to study new solutions and applications. Besides, ELMAR symposia traditionally invites original contributions from navigation systems, marine electronics, and related areas. The scientific program includes keynote talks 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. ELMAR-2007 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 organized in cooperation with EURASIP (European Association for Signal, Speech and Image Processing).
