=========================================================================

The 15th International Conference on
SIGNAL IMAGE TECHNOLOGY & INTERNET BASED SYSTEMS (SITIS-2019)
Sorrento-Naples, Italy, November 26–29, 2019
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 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 2018 aims to provide a forum for high quality presentations on research activities
centered on three main tracks:

Track Signal Image & Vision Technologies (SIVT)
------------------------------------------------------------------
The focus of the track is on recent developments in digital image and signal processing, and pays particular attention to evolutions in image analysis, audiovisual signal processing, coding and authentication, and retrieval techniques.
Topics of interest:
• 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
• Signal processing
• Wavelets and multirate signal processing
• Spectral analysis
• Remote sensing
• Document image processing and analysis Image/video coding and authentication

Track Intelligent Web Computing and Applications (I-WeCA)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The focus of the I-WeCA (Intelligent Web Computing
and Applications) track is on emerging concepts, architectures, protocols, and methodologies for Internet
based computing and the Internet of Things (IoT), providing technologies to connect large numbers of data
repositories and smart objects. In such an interconnected world, information can be exchanged easily, tasks
can be processed collaboratively, devices and objects can be intelligently connected, communities of users
with similar interests can be formed to achieve their goals efficiently and improve performance. Taking full
advantage of these interconnected environments to meet the ever increasing needs of emerging applications
requires solutions that address new issues and challenges. Novel architectures and solutions are being
proposed promoting the dawn of the Internet of Things – or so called Intelligent Web – era, ranging from
enhanced machine-to-machine communications, resource sharing, linked data processing, distributed computing
and cooperative systems, mobile information systems and services, semantic-based applications and intelligent
data processing to data security and privacy protocols, etc. The aim of this Intelligent Web Computing and
Applications (I-WeCA) track is to provide an international forum for researchers, professionals, and
industrial practitioners to share their experiences and knowledge in this growing and highly important area
of internet and Web technologies.

Topics of interest:
-----------------------
• Data semantics and Web-Centric Systems
• Ontologies and Conceptual Data Modeling
• Knowledge Representation and Reasoning
• Semantic Data Integration and Ontology Engineering
• Web Information Retrieval
• Big Data Management and Analytics
• Big Data Models and Algorithms

Keynotes
------------
The Technical Program of SITIS 2018 will include three keynote lectures presented by Dr Josiane Zerubia, Dr
Beniamino Di Martino and Dr Mourad Oussalah. Please check the page http://www.sitis-conf.org/en/keynotes.php
for further details.

Co-located workshops
-----------------------------
The technical program will also include submissions from several
co-located workshops. Please check the conference web page for a complete list of co-located workshops at
http://www.sitis-conf.org/en/workshops.php

Submission and publication
-------------------------------------
Papers must be up to 8 pages and follow IEEE double-column format. Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at
least 3 peer reviewers. Papers will be evaluated based on relevance, significance, impact, originality,
technical soundness, and quality of presentation. At least one author should attend the conference to present
an accepted paper. All papers accepted for presentation at the main tracks and workshops will be included in
the conference proceedings, which will be published by IEEE Computer Society and referenced in IEEE Xplore
Digital Library, DBLP and major indexes. Extended version of selected accepted papers will be considered for
publication in special issues of major journals. Paper submission will only be online via SITIS 2019
