Biocybernetics: Practices and Challenges"******
in Pattern Recognition Letters journal***

Submission deadline: *15 April 2019 *

*Motivations: *
Digital forensic methodologies are widely used in industries to ensure 
authentication of multimedia data. Biocybernetics has emerged as a tool 
to secure systems from cyber threats via biometric based processes. 
Jointly, digital forensics and biocybernetics can ensure support system 
for high level security. The mechanisms of digital forensics and 
biocybernetic technologies presently need human expert interference, and 
cannot perform in automated way. Thereby these processes cannot be 
suited for in large scale industrial need in their present form. Hence a 
lot of research has been conducted in this domain during last few years, 
mostly all studies yielding sub-optimal solutions, which still 
encourages current researchers to conduct further research in this area.
This special issue solicits original research articles, extensive 
reviews, and case studies in the aforementioned field of research.

*Topics include, but are not limited to:*
- Digital Forensic techniques applicable to large scale systems
- Biocybernetic architecture management
- Biosignal processing and biosensing systems
- Brain-human-interface
- Knowledge sharing systems for forensic analysis
- Biocybernetic surveillance in industry
- Anti-pattern search for biocybernetic spoofing
- Biometric technologies for large scale industry
- Industrial biometric data management
- Parallel and distributed processing of forensic data
- Cybercrime detection and mitigation
- Uberveillance technologies for smart industry
- Standards and protocols for industrial forensics

*Important dates: *
Submission deadline: *15 April 2019 *
First review notification: 1 June 2019
Revision submission: 1 August 2019
Second review notification: 1 September 2019
Final notification to authors: 30 September 2019
Online publication: October 2019

*Submission Guidelines: *
All submissions have to be prepared according to the Guide for Authors 
as published in the Journal Web Site at 
http://www.elsevier.com/journals/pattern-recognition-letters/0167-8655/guide-for-authors.

Submissions should be sent through http://ees.elsevier.com/prletters/. 
Authors should select the acronym "VSI:IIDFB-PC" as the article type, 
from the "Choose Article Type" pull-down menu during the submission 
process.

The maximal length of a paper is 7 pages in the PRLetters layout and may 
become 8 in the revised version if referees explicitly request 
significant additions.

The submitted papers should not have been previously published or be 
under consideration for publication elsewhere. If one submission is the 
extended work of one conference paper, the original work should be 
included and a description of the changes should be provided.

The PRLetters submission should include at least 30% new contribution of 
high relevance (more experiments, proofs of theorems not included in the 
conference paper, more comparisons with other methods in the literature 
and so on); and the title of the PRLetters paper should be different, 
the same figures cannot be used and the common part of the conference 
paper and of the extended version cannot be verbatim the same.

*Review Process: *
The review process will follow the standard PRLetters scheme. Each paper 
will be reviewed by at least two referees and that, in general, only two 
reviewing rounds will be possible, out of which major revision is 
possible for the first reviewing round. Submissions will probably being 
rejected if major revision is still required after the second reviewing 
round.
