*************************************************************** Special Issue on ADVANCES IN RADAR TECHNOLOGIES http://www.hindawi.com/journals/jece/si/291315/cfp/ Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering ***************************************************************
Call for Papers: Even after a century of research and study in the field, radar systems with enhanced features are in high demand for surveillance, tracking, and imaging applications, required in both civilian and military contexts. Advanced radar technologies are needed to face the problem of complex environments, with changing electromagnetic properties of targets, such as vehicles, ships, buildings, and terrain, for different frequencies, polarimetric modes, and configurations. The aim of this special issue is to provide an international forum for researchers to summarize the most recent developments and ideas on emerging radar technologies, with a particular emphasis on the new concepts of compressed sensing and cognitive features. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: • Compressive sensing/sampling • MIMO radars • Cognitive and intelligent radars • Advances in surface penetrating technologies for imaging, detection, and classification • Through-wall radar imaging • Innovative antennas for radar applications • Advanced hydrological applications of radar • Deep sea oil exploration • Target recognition techniques • Tracking algorithms The special issue is organized in the framework of the 2013 World Conference on Information Systems and Technologies (WorldCIST13 - http://www.aisti.eu/worldcist13/). The authors of the selected papers, which are accepted and registered for the conference, will be invited to submit their contribution to the special issue. Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal’s Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/jece/guidelines/. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal Manuscript Tracking System at http://mts.hindawi.com/author/submit/journals/jece/art/ according to the following timetable: Manuscript Due: Friday, 26 April 2013 First Round of Reviews: Friday, 19 July 2013 Publication Date: Friday, 13 September 2013 Lead Guest Editor: Sandra Costanzo, Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informatica e Sistemistica (DEIS), Università della Calabria, 87036 Rende, Italy [email protected] Guest Editors: Alvaro Rocha, Fernando Pessoa University Porto, Portugal [email protected] Marcelo Sampaio Alencar, Federal University of Campina Grande, Campina Grande, PB, Brazil [email protected] -- Álvaro Rocha | Professor | Presidente of AISTI University Fernando Pessoa | http://www.aisti.eu http://homepage.ufp.pt/~amrocha/ | Skype: amrrocha _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
