SIAM Journal on Imaging Sciences launches

"We are proud to launch SIAM Journal on Imaging Sciences," said David K. Marshall, Publisher. "We are confident that it will become a leading journal in the broad aspects of fundamental imaging sciences. Guillermo Sapiro has assembled an editorial board of renown and SIAM is pleased to have this opportunity to serve the scholarly community."

Electronic access to 2008 issues of the journal will be free. The first six articles will be posted to http://epubs.siam.org/ on March 20. SIIMS is mathematically and computationally based and offers a unique forum to highlight the commonality of methodology, models, and algorithms among diverse application areas of imaging sciences.

A leader in applied and computational mathematics, SIAM is also involved in the development of this field through its activity group on imaging science, bringing together SIAM members and other scientists and engineers who have an interest in the mathematical and computational aspects of imaging. The activity group sponsors a biennial conference on imaging science, to be held this year, July 7-9, in San Diego, CA. The conference is being held jointly with the SIAM Annual Meeting, July 7-11.

The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) is an international community of over 11,000 individual members, including applied and computational mathematicians, computer scientists, and other scientists and engineers. The Society advances the fields of applied mathematics and computational science by publishing a series of premier journals and a variety of books, sponsoring a wide selection of conferences, and through various other programs.
