BOOK ALERTS
This section is intended primarily for rapid dissemination of new published books with tutorial (and) or scientific value within the field of signal processing. Here are listed the areas of interest that are well suited for Signal Processing: Signal Theory, Detection, Estimation, Information Theory, Spectral Analysis, Filtering and Filters, Adaptive Processing, Coding, Mathematical Tools in Signal Processing, Signal Processing in Antennas, Image Processing, Pattern Recognition, Signal Processing Applications in Remote Sensing, Signal Processing in Acoustics, in Geophysics, in Astronomy, in Automatic Control, in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence, in Telecommunication, in Instrumentation, in Economics and Management, Radar, Sonar, Speech Processing, Biomedical Signal Processing, Optical Signal Processing, Digital Techniques in Signal Processing, Multi-dimensional Signal Processing, Signal Processor Architecture, Storage and Display, Signal Processing Technology, Signal Processing Software, Cultural Aspects of Signal Processing, Signal Processing Terminology. The books are then reviewed by experts in the field. Their comments will be presented in Signal Processing showing the timeliness and importance of the proposed result, their clarity and eventually their tutorial value. New books, which are intended to be presented, should be submitted to Riccardo LEONARDI, Book Review Editor, Signal Processing Laboratory, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne, 16 Chemin de Bellerive, CH-1007 Lausanne, Switzerland.
