As the flagship conference and the most import event in the region, the 4th International Conference on Audio, Language and Image Processing (ICALIP2014) will continue the great success of its three previous editions (ICALIP 2008, ICALIP2010 and ICALIP2012) with aiming to provide a unique forum for researchers, engineers and educators interested in audio, language and image processing to learn about recent progresses, to address related challenges and to develop new methods, applications and systems. The conference, to be held on July 7-9, 2014 in Shanghai, the largest city of China, is technically sponsored by IEEE CIS Shanghai Chapter and is co-organized by IET Shanghai Local Network, Shanghai University, Tongji University, Fudan University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The conference proceedings including all the accepted papers will be published by IEEE (IEEE catalog number: No. CFP1450D-PRT and ISBN: 978-1-4799-3902-2) and submitted to both EI Compendex and ISTP which has indexed all accepted papers of previous three conferences. Best Paper Awards will be granted to the authors of those outstanding papers determined by the International Program Committee of the conference and also the expanded version of the selected papers will be published in four SCI-E indexed IET Research Journals.
