International Journal of Wavelets, Multiresolution and Information Processing (IJWMIP) considers the current state-of-the-art theories of wavelet analysis, multiresolution and information processing as well as their applications. This journal aims at publishing papers in both the theories and applications, concentrating on the practical applications of the wavelets, multiresolution and information processing to all areas in science and engineering.The IJWMIP publishes articles of four primary types:1. Original research papers,2. Correspondences,3. Overviews and summaries,4. Descriptions of systems and software packages.Papers are published under two categories, namely: regular papers and short papers (or correspondence). Regular papers usually report results of original research, or may be a well-focused survey that puts recent progress into a broader perspective and accurately assesses limits of existing theories. Short papers are similar to the regular papers, describe original work but are usually not as in-depth and as detailed as the regular papers.The publication of special issues on active topics is encouraged. Colour reproductions of pictures and schematics are provided, if necessary. All published articles are made available to the major indexing/abstracting services.Submissions in all areas related to the theories and applications of wavelets, multiresolution and information processing are welcome.
