The IEICE (Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication 
Engineers, http://www.ieice.or.jp/) Transactions on Electronics announces 
a "Special Issue on New Technologies in Signal Processing for Electromagnetic-
wave Sensing and Imaging" to be published in December 2001. 

Please visit:

http://www.ee.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~ahirose/ieice-special-issue2001/ 

The Special Issue aims to publish articles on recent progress in science, 
theories, techniques, applications and systems concerning signal processing 
in electromagnetic-wave / lightwave sensing and imaging. The Editorial 
Committee solicits submissions of Papers and Letters in related wide 
research fields. 

1. Scope 

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

     Science and application of statistics in rough surface scattering 
     Polarimetry / interferometry science and technology 
     Phase unwrapping and residue analysis / elimination 
     Speckle and interference noise reduction 
     Inverse scattering and image reconstruction 
     Neural network and soft-computing in classification, restoration and 
        segmentation 
     Wavelet transform and linear / nonlinear processing 
     Migration method 
     MUSIC method and high-resolution estimation 
     Temporal and spatial coherence synthesis 
     SAR theory and system 
     Polarimetric / interferometric radar theory and system 
     Near-field electromagnetic-wave imaging and system 
     Remote sensing of the earth, ocean and atmosphere 
     Compensation of fluctuation and distortion in imaging and sensing

2. Manuscript Deadline: March 31, 2001

3. Submission of Papers 

Prospective authors are requested to send four copies of their manuscript 
by March 31, 2001, to Dr. Akira Hirose, Guest Editor, at the address
shown below. In the preparation, please refer to "Information for Authors" 
of the IEICE Transactions on Electronics for details. The information is
also found at http://www.ieice.or.jp. Papers should not exceed 8 printed 
pages, whereas Letters 2 pages. When submitting, please indicate "Special
Issue on New Technologies in Signal Processing for Electromagnetic-wave 
Sensing and Imaging" with red ink on the envelope and each front page of 
the four copies. Please note that the period for resubmission (normally 
60 days) after review may be shortened due to the publication schedule. 
Submitted manuscripts (Papers / Letters) will be reviewed by referees 
according to the ordinary rules of the Transactions Editorial Committee.
