Theme

An international forum for current work on data compression and related applications. Both theoretical and experimental work are of interest. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Lossless and lossy compression for storage and transmission of specific types of data (including text, gray scale and color photographs, multi-spectral and hyper-spectral images, palette images, video, movies, audio, music, maps, instrument and sensor data, space data, earth observation data, scientific data, weather data, medical data, graphics data, geometry data, 3D representations, animation, bi-level images / bit-maps, web content, web graphs, etc.), source coding, source coding in multiple access networks, joint source-channel coding, multiple description coding, quantization theory, vector quantization (VQ), multiple description VQ, transform based methods (including DCT and wavelet transforms), parallel compression algorithms and hardware, error resilient compression techniques, adaptive compression algorithms, browsing and searching compressed data, string searching and manipulation used in compression applications, fractal based compression methods, data retrieval employing compression techniques, steganography / hidden information with respect to compressed data, minimal length encoding and applications to learning, system issues relating to data compression (including error control, data security, indexing, and browsing), compression applications and issues for computational biology and bioinformatics, compression applications and issues for the internet, compression applications and issues for mobile computing, applications of compression to file distribution and software updates, applications of compression to file storage and backup systems, applications of compression to data mining, applications of compression to image retrieval, applications of compression and information theory to human-computer interaction (HCI), compression standards (including the JPEG, MPEG, H.xxx, and G.xxx families), compressed sensing / compressive sampling, and the use of techniques from information theory and data compression in networking, communications, and storage of large data sets.

Special Topic For 2013

High Efficiency Video Coding Standard (HEVC)
DCC2013 will additionally feature HEVC with a keynote address and a special session.

Keynote Address

The Arrival of the High Efficiency Video Coding Standard (HEVC)
Gary J. Sullivan
Co-Chairman Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding (JCT-VC),
Video & Image Technology Architect,
Microsoft Corporation

Special Session

High Efficiency Video Coding: The New International Standard and Potential Enhancements
Gary J. Sullivan and Yuriy Reznik, special-session chairs
Authors are invited to submit papers covering all aspects of the HEVC standard as well as potential improvements and enhancements to the standard. Authors may designate their paper for consideration for the special session at the time of submission; special-session submissions will be subject to the regular review process.

Submission Format

All submitted manuscripts must be PDF files that satisfy:

  • Each page should have a top margin of 1 inch and a left margin of 1.25 inches, and the text area on each page should be 9 inches high by 6 inches wide.
  • Do NOT use a two-column format; all submissions must have a single column format.
  • Use 12 point type.
  • The first page must begin with the title centered at the top, with the authors and their affiliations below the title. Following the title and authors, should be a short abstract, and following the abstract should be the start of the first section.
  • Manuscripts may NOT be more than 10 pages TOTAL, including all references, figures, tables, notes, and appendices.
  • Here is a link to template of what a formatted page should look like:
    DCC Template

Manuscripts may be submitted for consideration as full paper or poster, or for consideration as poster only. Manuscripts submitted for consideration as poster only must still submit a thorough description of the work for review (NOT a one page summary).

Manuscripts accepted as papers will be presented at a technical session of the conference and have a final draft of at most 10 pages in the DCC proceedings. Manuscripts accepted as posters will be presented at the DCC poster session and have a one page summary in the DCC proceedings.

Submission Instructions

Submissions must be submitted electronically by 12 November, 11:59pm U.S. Pacific Time (this deadline has been extended from the original deadline of Nov. 5); using the following link:

DCC Submissions Page

Author Notification

Authors will be notified via email in late December of acceptance as a paper, acceptance as a poster, or rejection. Accepted manuscripts must be submitted electronically; the due date will be in early January. The letter of acceptance will include the exact due date, directions on where and how to make the electronic submission of the final manuscript, and directions for submitting a proceedings copyright form. (Do not include a copyright form with your submission; instead, wait until your submission has been accepted and you receive directions.)
