BOOK SERIES/JOURNAL OF SENTIENT MULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS

Scope

The Book Series/Journal of Sentient Multimedia Systems (JSMS) is intended to be a forum for researchers, practitioners and developers to exchange ideas and research results, for the advancement of sentient multimedia systems, which are distributed systems capable of actively interacting with the environment by gathering, processing, interpreting, storing and retrieving multimedia information originated from sensors, robots, actuators, websites and other information sources.

JSMS publishes research papers, state-of-the-art surveys, review articles, in the areas of sentient multimedia systems, distributed multimedia systems, sensor networks, multimedia interfaces, visual communication, multi-media communications, cognitive aspects of sensor-based systems, and parallel/distributed/neural computing & representations for multmedia information processing. Papers are also welcome to report on actual use, experience, transferred technologies in sentient multimedia systems and applications. Book reviews and tool reviews, not to exceed four pages, can also be submitted to the book reviews editor and tools reviews editor, respectively.

Submission of Manuscripts

Manuscripts shall be submitted electronically to the book series/journal's website (to be named). Original papers only will be considered. Manuscripts are accepted for review with the understanding that the same work has not been and will not be nor is presently submitted elsewhere, and that its submission for publication has been approved by all of the authors and by the institution where the work was carried out; further, that any person cited as a course of personal communications has approved such citation.

Equations

Equations should be typewritten and with the number placed in parentheses at the right margin. Reference to the equations should use the form "Eq. (3)" or simply (3).

 

References

References should be indicated in the text by numbers in square brackets and listed at the end of the paper in numerical order; they should be typed double-spaced on a separate page. Style and punctuation of references must be in accordance with the following examples:

1. T. Y. Kong and A. W. Roscoe, Continuous analogs of axiomated digital surfaces. Comput. Vision Graphics Image Process 29, 1985, 60-86.

2. R. M. Haralick, edge and region analysis for digital image data in Image Modeling (A. Rosenfeld, Ed), pp. 171-184, Academic Press, New York, 1981.

3. R. A. Schowengerdt, Techniques for Image Processing and Classification in Remote Sensing, Academic Press, New York, 1983.

Reports should not be cited unless absolutely necessary. Tables should be umbered with Arabic numerals in order of appearance in the text. They should be typed double-spaced on separate pages. Each table should have a short descriptive caption. Table footnotes (indicated by superscript lower-case letters) should be typed at the end of the table. Figures should be numbered in order of appearance (with Arabic numerals) and should have short descriptive captions. Line drawings must be drawn using a WORD processor. Photographs must be in high resolution. No figures should exceed 8.5 x 11 inch in size; they should be designed to fit the proportions of the printed page.

 

Review Form

The electronic review form can be used by reviewers to review papers submitted to JSMS.

 

Copyright

Authors submitting a manuscript do so with the understanding that if it is accepted for publication, copyright in the article, including the right to reproduce the article in all forms and media shall be assigned exclusively to the publisher. The Publisher will not refuse any reasonable request by the author for permission to reproduce any of his or her contributions to the book series/journal.

the publisher now requires that all manuscripts submitted to its book series/journals be accompanied by a signed copyright transfer agreement (html file). The copyright transfer does not take effect until the manuscript is accepted.

No manuscript will be processed until the appropriate form has been returned.

We ask your cooperation because it is of vital importance for the widest possible dissemination of your paper and the continued viability of our book series/journal. We must have your written confirmation in order to authorize libraries and other information centers to use this material and to perform other appropriate publishing functions.

If your manuscript is not published within a reasonable period of time after acceptance, upon written request, the publisher will promptly return the rights to the manuscript to the author(s).
 

IMPORTANT: Note that the publisher may choose to publish an abstract or portions of the paper prior to publishing the paper in the book series/journal. Please contact the publisher immediately if you would like the publisher to refrain from such prior publication for any reason, including disclosure of a patentable invention.
