The Data Compression Conference (DCC) is an international forum for current work on data compression and related applications. The conference addresses coding methods for specific types of data (text, images, video, audio, medical data, scientific data, biological sequences, graphics data, web content, etc.) and the application of techniques from information theory and data compression to networking, communications, storage, and search (including image and information mining/retrieval, archiving and backup, human-computer interfaces, compressed data structures, visual search, object recognition, compressive sensing, rate-distortion coding, rate allocation, and compression-related standards). Both theoretical and experimental work is of interest.
