Multidimensional Systems and Signal Processing is an archival, peer-reviewed, technical journal publishing survey and original papers, spanning fundamentals as well as applicable research contributions.
While the subject of multidimensional systems is concerned with mathematical issues designed to tackle a broad range of models, its applications in signal processing have been known to cover spatial and temporal signals of diverse physical origin. The current problem faced, due to the widely scattered nature of publications in this area, will be circumvented through the unity of theme in this journal, so that research is facilitated and expected with much reduced duplication of effort and much enhanced communication. Topics of current interest include, but are not limited to:
blurred and noisy image processing
multidimensional signal reconstruction from partial or incomplete observations and projections
signal modeling
spectral analysis and transform techniques
array processing
linear and nonlinear prediction and filtering of multidimensional processes
multidimensional spectrum estimation
multivariate approximation
multidimensional realization theory
multidimensional sampling strategies
interpolation and decimation schemes
velocity filtering
fast processing of remotely sensed multidimensional data
multivariate polynomial and matrix factorization schemes
computer algebra for symbolic and algebraic manipulations
concurrent architecture for multidimensional signal processing
visual communications
neural networks and incorporation of artificial intelligence techniques in spatio temporal data processing

Instructions to Authors
Authors are encouraged to submit high quality, original work that has neither appeared in, nor is under consideration by, other journals. Papers which have previously appeared in conference proceedings will also be considered for publication, however, this should be indicated at the time of submission.
Process for Submission
Authors should submit five hard copies of their final manuscript to: Michelle Misner MULT - Editorial Office Kluwer Academic Publishers 101 Philip Drive Norwell, MA 02061, USA Tel.: 781-871-6600 Fax : 781-878-0449 Email: Michelle.Misner@wkap.com For prompt attention, all correspondence can be directed to this address.
Enclose with each manuscript, on a separate page, from five to ten index terms (key phrases).
Enclose originals for the illustrations (see STYLE FOR ILLUSTRATIONS section below) for one copy of the manuscript. Photocopies of the figures may accompany the remaining copies of the manuscript. Alternatively, good quality copies may be sent initially, with the originals ready to be sent immediately upon acceptance of paper. Also upon acceptance of the paper, authors must supply a photograph and brief biographical sketch of no more than 300 words.
Enclose a separate page giving the preferred address for correspondence and return of proofs. Please be sure to include a telephone number, fax number and e-mail address, if available.
The refereeing is done by anonymous reviewers.
Papers exceeding 40 pages in length (including figures) may be returned to the author for shortening.
All papers should be written in English.
STYLE FOR MANUSCRIPT
Typeset, double or 1 1/2 space; use one side of sheet only (laser printed, typewritten and good quality duplication acceptable).
Provide an informative 100 to 250-word abstract at the head of the manuscript. The abstracts are printed with the articles.
Provide a separate double-spaced sheet listing all footnotes, beginning with "Affiliation of author" and continuing with numbered references. Acknowledgement of financial support may be given if appropriate.
References should be numbered and listed in the order of citation in a separate section at the end of the paper, with citations by numbers in square brackets (e.g., [1], [2], etc.).
Style for papers: Authors (initials and surname) , Paper Title, Journal Title, volume, number, date, page numbers. For example: J. Fox, G. Surace, and P. A. Thomas, "A Self-Testing 2m CMOS Chip Set for FFT Applications," IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits, vol. SC22, 1987, pp. 15-19.
Style for books: Author, Book Title, location, Publisher, date, chapter or page numbers (if desired). For example: P. M. Kogge, The Architecture of Pipelined Computers, New York: McGraw-Hill Book Co., 1981.
Provide a separate sheet listing all figure captions, in proper style for the typesetter, e.g., "Fig. 3. Examples of the zero crossings of the second derivative of the (a) Gaussion and (b) sine filter for the same input function."
Type or mark mathematical copy exactly as it should appear in print. Journal style for letter symbols is as follows: varibles, italic type (indicated by underline); constants, roman text type; matrices and vectors, boldface type (indicated by wavy underline). In word-processor manuscripts, use appropriate typeface. It will be assumed that letters in displayed equations are to be set in italic type unless you mark them otherwise. All letter symbols in text discussion must be marked if they should be italic or boldface. Indicate best breaks for equations in case they will not fit on one line.
Electronic Delivery
Please send only the electronic version (of ACCEPTED paper) via one of the methods listed below. Note, in the event of minor discrepancies between the electronic version and hard copy, the electronic file will be used as the final version.
Via electronic mail
Please e-mail electronic version to: KAPfiles@wkap.com
Recommended formats for sending files via e-mail:
Binary files - uuencode or binhex
Compressing files - compress, pkzip or gzip
Collecting files - tar
The e-mail message should include the author‘s last name, the name of the journal to which the paper has been accepted, and the type of file (e.g., LaTeX or ASCII).
Via anonymous FTP
ftp: ftp.wkap.com cd: /incoming/production
Send e-mail to KAPfiles@wkap.com to inform Kluwer electronic version is at this FTP site.
Via disk
Label a 3.5 inch floppy disk with the operating system and word processing along with the authors‘ names, manuscript title, and name of journal to which the paper has been accepted.
Mail disk to: Kluwer Academic Publishers Desktop Department 101 Philip Drive, Assinippi Park Norwell, MA 02061, USA
Any questions about the above procedures please send e-mail to: dthelp@wkap.com
Style for Illustrations
Originals for illustrations should be sharp, noise-free, and of good contrast. We regret that we cannot provide drafting or art service.
Line drawings should be in laser printer output or in India ink on paper, or board. Use 8 1/2 by 11-inch size sheets if possible, to simplify handling of the manuscript.
Each figure should be mentioned in the text and numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals. Specify the desired location of each figure in the text, but place the figure itself on a separate page following the text.
Number each table consecutively using Arabic numerals. Please label any material that can be typeset as a table, reserving the term "figure" for material that has been drawn. Specify the desired location of each table in the text, but place the table itself on a separate page following the text. Type a brief title above each table.
All lettering should be large enough to permit legible reduction.
Photographs should be glossy prints, of good contrast and gradation, and any reasonable size.
Number each original on the back or at the bottom of the front..
Include a separate page listing the captions for all figures.
Proofing
Page proofs for articles to be included in a journal issue will be sent to the contact author for proofing, unless otherwise informed. The proofread copy should be received back by the Publisher within 72 hours.
Copyright
Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be required to sign a copyright form transferring the copyright from the authors or their employers to the Publisher.
Reprints
Each group of authors will be entitled to 25 free reprints of their paper.
