Instituto Tecnológico de Metropolitano (ITM) and Universidad de Antioquia are organizing a conference in Medellin, Colombia: the XVII version of the digital signal processing, image processing and computer vision conference that will be held in September 12, 13 and 14, 2012. This event is sponsored by the IEEE Colombia’s chapter of Digital Signal Processing.

Submissions to the special issue in the IEEE JOURNAL OF SELECTED TOPICS IN SIGNAL PROCESSING should be original. Submissions to the special issue in the IEEE SIGNAL PROCESSING MAGAZINE should have significant tutorial value.

At its 31 March 2012 meeting, the Board of Governors of the IEEE Signal Processing Society passed amendments to the Society’s Constitution document. Procedures require approval by the IEEE Technical Activities Board, which has already been secured, followed by a 30-day period for member comment. The amendment is considered approved unless one-half percent or more of the Society’s membership objects, in writing, within 30 days of publication.

IEEE recently launched a news page and blog with the tagline “Brightening the future, improving the world” that promotes the value of IEEE Societies and communities. Articles cover humanitarian, educational, and technological achievements and initiatives, including those of the IEEE Humanitarian Technology Challenge.

The Nominate a Senior Member Initiative was designed to encourage all IEEE Societies and Sections to become actively involved in promoting the Senior Member grade.

This initiative aims to:

* encourage grade advancement in IEEE;
* simplify the application process;
* offer financial incentives for approved Senior Member applications;
* offer increased benefits for Senior membership.
