  • Image and Vision Computing

    • ISSN: 0262-8856
    Image and Vision Computing has as a primary aim the provision of an effective medium of interchange for the results of high quality theoretical and applied research fundamental to all aspects of image interpretation and computer vision. The journal publishes work that proposes new image interpretation and computer vision methodology or addresses the application of such methods to real world scenes. It seeks to strengthen a deeper understanding in the discipline by encouraging the quantitative comparison and performance evaluation of the proposed methodology. The coverage includes: image interpretation, scene modelling, object recognition and tracking, shape analysis, monitoring and surveillance, active vision and robotic systems, SLAM, biologically-inspire... computer vision, motion analysis, stereo vision, document image understanding, character and handwritten text recognition, face and gesture recognition, biometrics, vision-based human-computer interaction, human activity and behavior understanding, data fusion from multiple sensor inputs, image databases.In addition to regular manuscripts, Image and Vision Computing Journal solicits manuscripts for the Opinions Column, aimed at initiating a free forum for vision researchers to express their opinions on past, current, or future successes and challenges in research and the community.An opinion paper should be succinct and focused on a particular topic. Addressing multiple related topics is also possible if this helps making the point. While posing questions helps raising awareness about certain issues, ideally, an opinion paper should also suggest a concrete direction how to address the issues. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:Comments on success and challenges in a (sub-) field of computer vision,Remarks on new frontiers in computer visionObservations on current practices and trends in research, and suggestions for overcoming unsatisfying aspectsObservations on current practices and trends in the community regarding, e.g., reviewing process, organizing conferences, how journals are run, and suggestions for overcoming unsatisfying aspectsReviews of early seminal work that may have fallen out of fashionSummaries of the evolution of one's line of researchRecommendati... for educating new generations of vision researchers.The format of an opinion paper should comply with the existing formatting guidelines for the Image and Vision Computing Journal submissions, and should not exceed 2 pages.Months of publication: January/February, March, April, May, June, July/August, September, October, November and December.

  • Applied Numerical Mathematics

    • ISSN: 0168-9274
    An IMACS JournalApplied Numerical Mathematics provides a forum for the publication of high quality research and tutorial papers in computational mathematics.The journal publishes: • traditional issues and problems in numerical analysis • relevant applications in such fields as physics, fluid dynamics, engineering • other branches of applied science with a computational mathematics componentThe journal strives to be flexible in the type of papers it publishes and their format. Equally desirable are: Full papers, which should be complete and relatively self-contained original contributions with an introduction that can be understood by the broad computational mathematics community. Both rigorous and heuristic styles are acceptable. Of particular interest are papers about new areas of research, in which other than strictly mathematical arguments may be important in establishing a basis for further developments.Tutoria... review papers, covering some of the important issues in Numerical Mathematics, Scientific Computing and their Applications. The journal will occasionally publish contributions which are larger than the usual format for regular papers.Short notes, which present specific new results and techniques in a brief communication.The journal strives to provide authors with a refereed outlet for their work which is subject to the least possible publication delay.Fractional calculus: Due to the number of submissions and the limited number of Editors and Reviewers in this area, the journal is limiting the number of submissions to 5 per month. Please be advised that your paper may be desk rejected due to this new restriction.
