The SAM Workshop is a major IEEE Signal Processing Society event devoted to sensor array and multichannel signal processing. The organizing committee invites the international community to present and discuss state-of-the-art developments in the field. SAM 2014 will feature plenary talks by leading researchers in the field as well as poster sessions, and a number of special sessions organized by internationally recognized experts. The workshop will take place in Hotel Hesperia Finisterre, located in the heart of A Coruña, a modern city looking out onto the Atlantic.
