SIAM Journal on Imaging Sciences launches

Multidisciplinary research will shape the future of imaging sciences

Imaging science will soon be getting more exposure as the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) launches its newest journal, SIAM Journal on Imaging Sciences (SIIMS). This all-electronic, groundbreaking journal provides a broad, authoritative source for fundamental results in imaging sciences with a unique combination of mathematics and applications. SIIMS focuses on conceptually new ideas, methods, and fundamentals as they apply to all aspects of imaging science.

"Mathematical fundamentals have been at the core of some of the most important advances in imaging sciences," said Guillermo Sapiro, Editor-in-Chief. "SIIMS provides the medium to report the new fundamental advances in the broad aspects of imaging sciences that will shape the future of this exciting area."

The interdisciplinary field of imaging science has seen explosive growth due to recent technological developments. The reach of science, medicine, and engineering has been extended in a multitude of different ways with the advent of new devices capable of seeing objects and structures previously unimagined. This technology has generated new challenges associated with problems of formation, acquisition, compression, transmission and analysis of images, all of which employ increasingly sophisticated mathematical, statistical, and computational methods. By their very nature, these challenges cut across the disciplines of physics, engineering, mathematics, biology, medicine, and statistics.
