DIP and Multimedia Environments - Call for Papers
by R.B.Johnson＠bristol.ac.uk 02 Sep '96

02 Sep '96

***** Apologies if you receive this messages several times ***** Image and Vision Computing Journal Call for Papers DOCUMENT IMAGE PROCESSING AND MULTIMEDIA ENVIRONMENTS The Image and Vision Computing Journal announces a forthcoming special issue on Document Image Processing (DIP) and Multimedia Environments. Papers published in IVC have addressed a wide variety of image processing applications. This special issue will focus on DIP and related multimedia research, and will present a collection of high-quality papers on the subject. Document image processing is now an established field within the electronic imaging world. It is becoming even more prevalent wherever paper documents need to be transformed into electronic format for long-term storage, backup, multiple access and retrieval. The process of extracting information from often poor quality images of documents is a topic of active research. Multimedia research is still in its infancy but is a fast expanding area. Whilst the emergence of the World Wide Web has given a boost to the awareness of this phenomenon, there are a number of problems to be solved, not least the integration of DIP into multimedia applications. With the increasingly widespread use of multimedia to convey information in electronic form, where sound, moving images and graphics could be part of a compound document, the role of DIP becomes even more prominent. Thus a special issue on DIP and related multimedia research is a timely activity. Original high-quality contributions are solicited on all aspects of DIP and related multimedia applications. Emphasis will be placed on novel techniques, analytical methods, and design and optimization approaches rather than on specific software packages. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit contributions in the following areas or related subjects: o document decomposition strategies o OCR o form-based processing o compound document modelling and representation o compound document processing and analysis o compound document navigation and retrieval o fax recognition o DIP related standards o interfaces to DIP and multimedia environments o image and multimedia databases o network issues relating to image transmission o distributed or networked DIP and multimedia applications o security and encryption issues o business process re-engineering for DIP DIP and multimedia environments, as it is evolving, entails cooperation across corporate, educational and international boundaries. Thus preference will be given to papers that promote sharing of theory, techniques and experiences. Also papers that reflect a spirit of cooperation among multiple sources are encouraged. Authors are requested to submit three copies of their manuscripts to one of the Guest Editors listed below. IMPORTANT DATES 15th January 1997 Completed manuscript due for peer review. 15th March 1997 Acceptance notification. 15th June 1997 Final paper due. 3rd Quarter 1997 Publication of issue.

Hostcount for July 1996
by Mirjam Kuehne 02 Aug '96

02 Aug '96

Dear all, Here is the hostcount for July 1996. The table shows an increase since last month of more than 101,000 (or 3.5%) to a total of over 3,017,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe. DE shows the highest increase for July with more than 27,000 hosts more than in June. I have this time also included a list sorted by total amount of hosts and one sorted by number of domains (Thanks to Antonio_Blasco Bonito). You can find these tables at the end of this message. It would be interesting to get some feedback on the usefulness of these sorted lists. The hostcount can also be found under ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/hostcount. The graphical version of the hostcount can be found at ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/hostcount/RIPE-Hostcount-{Mo,Qu}.eps The translation of the country codes can be found at ftp://ftp.ripe.net/iso3166-countrycodes I would like to thank all people who help me to create the hostcount every month by counting hosts locally: at Gerhard Winkler <winkler(a)cc.univie.ac.at> be Herman Moons <Herman.Moons(a)CS.kuleuven.ac.be> ch Marcel Schneider <hostmaster(a)nic.ch> cy Panagiotis Tzounakis <pj(a)ics.forth.gr> cz Jiri Orsag <Jiri.Orsag(a)eunet.cz> de Peter Koch <pk(a)TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> dk Robert Martin-Legene <robert(a)dknet.dk> es Jose Sanchez-Seco <jose.sanchez(a)rediris.es> fi Petri Ojala <ojala(a)eunet.fi> fr Annie Renard <Annie.Renard(a)inria.fr> gr Dimitris Zisiadis <zisiadis(a)forthnet.gr> hr Ivan Maric <Ivan.Maric(a)stribor.srce.hr> hu Gabor Kiss <kissg(a)sztaki.hu> ie Mike Norris <mnorris(a)dalkey.hea.ie> il Sason Levi <sason(a)NetVision.net.il> it Antonio_Blasco Bonito <bonito(a)nis.garr.it> li Marcel Schneider <hostmaster(a)nic.ch> no Havard Eidnes <Havard.Eidnes(a)runit.sintef.no> pl Irek Neska <irek(a)nask.pl> pt Armando Domingues <fccn(a)dns.pt> ru Andrey Dobrotsvetov <adbr(a)ripn.net> sk Ivan Lescak <Ivan.Lescak(a)Slovakia.EU.net> Lubos Elias <Lubos.Elias(a)uakom.sk> sm Antonio_Blasco Bonito <bonito(a)nis.garr.it> tr Yener Yigit <yener(a)knidos.cc.metu.edu.tr> uk Kevin Hoadley <K.Hoadley(a)nosc.ja.net> If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
