----------------------------------------
Scope
----------------------------------------
The 11th International Conference on Similarity Search and Applications
(SISAP) is an annual forum for researchers and application developers in
the area of similarity data management. It aims at the technological
problems shared by numerous application domains, such as data mining,
information retrieval, multimedia, computer vision, pattern recognition,
computational biology, geography, biometrics, machine learning, and many
others that make use of similarity search as a necessary supporting
service. From its roots in metric indexing, SISAP has expanded to become
the only international conference entirely devoted to all issues
surrounding the theory, design, analysis, practice, and application of
content-based and feature-based similarity search.

----------------------------------------
Topics
----------------------------------------
The specific topics include, but are not limited to:

* Similarity queries - k-NN, range, reverse k-NN, top-k, approximate, etc.
* Similarity measures - graph, structural, time series, complex data,
tensors,
  secondary similarity, etc.
* Similarity operations - joins, ranking, classification, categorization,
  filtering, etc.
* Indexing and access methods for similarity-based processing
* Evaluation techniques for similarity queries and operations
* Merging/combining multiple similarity modalities
* Cost models and analysis for similarity data processing
* Scalability issues and high-performance similarity data management
* Feature selection and extraction for similarity search
* Multimedia retrieval systems
* Security and privacy of similarity search
* Similarity for forensics and security
* Distributed similarity search
* Similarity search cloud services
* Languages for similarity databases
* Applications of similarity-based operations
* Visual analytics for similarity-based operations
* Test collections and benchmarks
* Performance studies and comparisons
* Industrial applications and case studies
* Theory - models of similarity, intrinsic dimensionality, discriminability
  and contrast, manifolds and subspaces, etc.

----------------------------------------
Special Session for Industry
----------------------------------------
A special session devoted to industrial applications and case studies will
also take place.

Submissions are solicited in multimedia, broadcasting, archiving, image
processing, social networks, bioinformatics, and any other area in which
similarity technology has made a practical impact. Of particular interest
are submissions concerned with one or more of the following:

* Use cases and scenarios
* Best practice for similarity search
* Adoption of similarity search in new industrial contexts
* Requirements for research and development

----------------------------------------
Publications and Special Issue
----------------------------------------

As in past editions the proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in
the Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series. As in past editions we expect
to have a special issue with the best papers of the conference. Since 2012
there has been a Special Issue in the Information Systems Journal.
