[WM]: IWDW 2005 - Call For Papers
**************************************************************************
CALL for PAPERS
4th International Workshop on Digital Watermarking
15-17 September 2005, Siena - Italy
**************************************************************************
IWDW 2005 is the fourth of a series of workshops focusing on digital watermarking techniques. It provides an excellent opportunity
for researchers and practitioners to present as well as to keep abreast with the latest developments in watermarking technologies.
In the last few years the theoretical foundations of watermarking have advanced very rapidly. Modeling the watermarking process as
one of communications with side information, where the host data is no longer considered as noise, but side information that is
available either to the embedder and/or the detector, resulted into improved watermarking algorithms as well as accurate models of
the channel capacity and error rates. At the same time, watermarking security, i.e. the ability of watermarking to serve in a
scenario where the presence of an enemy explicitly aiming at nullifying the watermark goals, whatever they are, has been recognized
as one the main open issues watermarking researchers must face with. It is the goal of this workshop to present research analyzing
the watermarking process from an information theoretic point of view, trying to obtain general results on reliable recovery of
watermark, watermark capacity, optimum watermark detection and channel coding for improved performance.
Papers analyzing watermarking security either from a theoretical or a practical point of view, e.g., by relying on an
information-theoretic, or cryptographic approach, are solicited as well. Finally, large-scale experimental papers are also
encouraged particularly comparing the performance of different algorithms or actual algorithms with theoretical models.
Areas of interest include (but are not limited to):
· Mathematical modeling of watermark embedding and detection
· Information theoretic and stochastic aspects of data hiding
· Security issues, including attack modeling and counter-attacks
· Reliable watermark recovery
· Estimation of watermark capacity
· Channel coding techniques for digital watermarking
· Bounds on error probability
· Large-scale experimental tests and benchmarking
· New statistical and perceptual models of content.
· Copy protection and DRM
