Call for Papers
----------------------

Special Session on Signal Processing Techniques for Information Hiding and Protection
Inaugural IEEE International Digital EcoSystems and Technologies Conference (IEEE-DEST 2007) Cairns, Australia
21-23 February 2007
Deadline: 30 September 2006

As rapid and tremendous progress in information technology is constantly being made, an enormous amount of media can be easily
exchanged through Internet and other communication networks, information security issues such as copyright protection, integrity
verification and authentication, have become unprecedentedly acute. In the last decade, a variety of signal processing techniques
for information hiding and protection has been proposed to address these issues. The aim of this special session is to bring
together researchers working in the relevant areas to share their expertise and investigate new solutions to advance the development
of information hiding techniques. Prospective participants are invited to electronically submit papers (6 pages, about 4500 words,
pdf or WinWord file) of their original work following the IEEE instructions available on
http://www.ieee-dest.curtin.edu.au/submitForm.php. Each paper will undergo a rigorous peer reviewed process involving at least two
reviewers.

Topics of this Special Session include but, not limited to, the following:
- Signal processing for steganography and steganalysis
- Signal processing for forensic analysis
- Signal processing for digital watermarking
- Fingerprinting / transaction tracking of multimedia
- Integrity verification
- Information hiding and media annotation
- Tampering and attacks on original information
- Quality metrics and benchmarking
- System design and implementation
