Journal Guide

Digital Signal Processing: a Review Journal is one of the oldest and most established journals in the field of signal processing yet it aims to be the most innovative one. The journal invites top quality research articles at the frontiers of research in all aspects of signal processing. Our objective is to provide a platform for the publication of groundbreaking research in signal processing with both academic and industrial appeal.The journal has a special emphasis on statistical signal processing methodology such as Bayesian signal processing, and encourages articles on emerging areas in signal processing which do not find space in other journals of the field. These include:environmental signal processing,stochastic modelling of biological and chemical processes,seismic signal processing,financial time series analysis,stochastic calculus,geophysical signal processing,systems biology,chemioinformatics,signal processing for human-computer interaction and intelligent user interfaces,signal processing for audio, visual and performance arts,signal processing for disaster management and prevention,signal processing for renewable energy,game theory and group theory for signal processing,information theory articles with a signal processing perspective.Papers in the classical application areas of signal processing such as telecommunications, speech and image processing are welcome only if they contain novel research. Purely application oriented articles in these areas should be submitted to the relevant dedicated journals. Similarly, authors who would like to submit on areas of neural networks or fuzzy sets are invited to submit their work to the appropriate journals.Digital Signal Processing: a Review Journal also aims to publish at least one high quality review article in every issue and to provide focus issues with special emphasis on emerging topics. Discussion articles in which several leading researchers discuss the future of a specific research area are also welcome.

Disability and Rehabilitation: Assistive Technology along with Disability and Rehabilitation seek to encourage a better understanding of all aspects of disability and to promote rehabilitation science, practice and policy aspects of the rehabilitation process. Taken together, both journals represent an important forum for the dissemination and exchange of ideas amongst global health practitioners and researchers. 

The mission of Disability and Rehabilitation: Assistive Technology is to advance the practice and science of interdisciplinary and integrative assistive technology service delivery and product design internationally so that persons with disabilities, chronic illnesses, and challenges to the performance of activities and participation in life roles, achieve enhanced functioning and life quality. 

Assistive technology focuses on both equipping individuals with the most appropriate technologies and also removing barriers to functioning that exist in the environment.  Topics range from everyday/mainstream to specialized devices, and include: exoskeltons and robotics; smart homes; information and communication technologies and computerized systems; ergonomics; universal design; ambient assistive technology; telerehabilitation; job and environmental accommodations; and methods of service delivery.  

Disability and Rehabilitation: Assistive Technology is an international and multidisciplinary journal, published six times a year. The Journal publishes review articles and original research on assistive technology devices, services, user experiences, education and training, and policies. The journal also publishes supplements, special issues and special sections. Because the field is broad, submissions include experimental investigations, survey research, case studies, systematic reviews and product development and testing. Theoretical and conceptual papers and the discussion of professional issues and international/national policies and standards are also published.

Subscribers to Disability and Rehabilitation receive Disability and Rehabilitation: Assistive Technology as part of their subscription, totaling 32 issues per year.

This journal publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed papers on the modeling and control of discrete event dynamical systems (DEDS). It presents general theories and methodologies of DEDSs and their applications as well as discusses practical problems from which some generally applicable DEDS theories or methodologies can be formulated. The scope of the journal is defined by its emphasis on the modeling of discrete events by dynamic systems, and on problems of their control and optimization. Discrete Event Dynamic Systems covers all aspects of DEDS, including: theory and formal models (supervisory control, Petri-Nets, Min-Max-plus algebra, DEDS specification, or simulation formalisms), performance analysis, optimization, and optimal control (perturbation analysis, control synthesis, sample-path-based approaches, AI-based learning schemes, scalable solutions to large and complex systems), and applications (case studies and software engineering).

Displays is the international journal covering the research and development of display technology, its effective presentation and perception of information, and applications and systems including display-human interface.Technical papers on practical developments in Displays technology provide an effective channel to promote greater understanding and cross-fertilization across the diverse disciplines of the Displays community. Original research papers solving ergonomics issues at the display-human interface advance effective presentation of information. Tutorial papers covering fundamentals intended for display technologies and human factor engineers new to the field will also occasionally featured.Coverage includes:Technology: display devices including emissive displays; such as OLEDs/ELs and PDPs, and non-emissive displays; such as LCDs and electro-phoretic/chromic displays, projection displays/tiled screens, new display technologies and applications to the flexible displays and E-papers, materials/components and drive-electronics for displays, displays for extreme environments, 3-D displays and virtual environment, auditory and tactile displays.Display-human systems: examples include TV/smart TVs and mobile instruments, display electronics, image/signal processing, color coding and reproduction, display-human interface, user interfaces for multimedia systems, graphical user interface design, image/graphic design guidelines and standards, extreme environments.Human Factors: perception and its cortical representation; universal access, extreme environments, measurements and assessments of visual performance, image quality, and color appearance/reproduction, human factors for virtual environment.Index bound in last issue of calendar year.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Distributed Generation & Alternative Energy Journal(Formerly Cogeneration & Distributed Generation Journal) Jorge B. Wong, Ph.D., P.E., C.E.M, Editor-in ChiefIng. Jose Ramos-Saravia, Associate Editor This authoritative quarterly publication provides professional readers with the detailed information they need on the latest innovations and developments in the distributed generation and related alternative energy fields. Each issue includes original articles covering engineering design and analysis, operation and maintenance, management, economics, strategy, and policy approaches to distributed generation, cogeneration, district heating and cooling, as well as combined heat and power (CHP). Promising new innovations and projects involving cogeneration and distributed generation systems which use alternative energy sources such as solar, wind, hydrogen and hydroelectrics, fuel cells, cleantech technologies and other means of direct energy conversion are fully described and evaluated.
