Ziv, Technion THEME: Data compression has become an essential component of high speed communications and mass storage. This conference will provide an international forum for current work on data compression and related areas. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: coding theory, quantization theory, parallel algorithms and compression hardware, algorithms for specific types of data (including text, images, video, speech, maps, instrument data, graphics, animation, and bit-maps), transform methods, wavelet and fractal techniques, string searching and manipulation, closest-match retrieval, theory of minimal length encoding and applications to learning, system issues (including error control, data security, and indexing), medical imagery, scientific and space data archives, data compression standards SUBMISSION: Authors are requested to submit 3 copies of an extended abstract of at most 10 pages by December 14, 1990 to: Prof. Martin Cohn Computer Science Dept. Brandeis University Waltham, MA 02254 fax: 617-736-2741 email: marty@cs.brandeis.edu NOTIFICATION: Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by a letter mailed on 1/15/91.
