IWDW 2011 - 10th International Workshop on Digital-forensics and Watermarking IWDW11

The 10th IWDW, International Workshop on Digital-forensics and Watermarking (IWDW 2011) is a premier forum for researchers and practitioners working on novel research, development and applications of digital watermarking and forensics techniques for multimedia security. We invite submissions of high-quality original research papers. All submissions will be refereed by at least two reviewers. Two prizes are to be awarded for the best paper and the best student paper, respectively. The Proceedings of IWDW11 will be published on the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) by Springer.

Submissions must be made as a PDF file of no more than 15 pages. Please submit your manuscripts written in English. Templates are available at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. All submissions will be refereed by at least two reviewers. To be included to the proceedings, at least one author of each paper should register and present the paper.

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

Mathematical modeling of embedding and detection
Information theoretic, stochastic aspects of data hiding
Security issues, including attacks and counter-attacks
Combination of data hiding and cryptography
Optimum watermark detection and reliable recovery
Estimation of watermark capacity
Channel coding techniques for watermarking
Large-scale experimental tests and benchmarking
New statistical and perceptual models of multimedia content
Reversible data hiding
Data hiding in special media
