Call for papers

The 5th Workshop on the Internet, Telecommunications and Signal Processing WITSP'06

11th-13th December 2006
Hobart (Tasmania), Australia

The 5th Workshop of the Internet Telecommunications and Signal Processing, WITSP'2006 has been planned by a group of academics and professionals to provide a forum for exchange of ideas between researchers including postgraduate research students and practicing engineers on all aspects related to the Internet and Telecommunication Systems. The main emphasis, as in all the previous WITSPs is on the use of signal  processing as a tool to make the Internet operate better and more efficiently. However, the scope of the papers considered for the Workshop is not limited just to this area. Contributions are also sought from the area of networking, including protocols, security, and applications. 
In addition, it is expected that, as during the previous events, several contributions will be dealing with image, video and audio processing for multimedia, and forensic applications, the security of private and corporate data, and advanced data processing algorithms. The Organizing 
Committee of the Workshop decided to hold it in Hobart on 11-13 December 2006.
