As a follow up to the message sent last week, we are excited to announce that ICASSP 2018 will be held from 15-20 April 2018 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and we are now accepting papers!

The nomination deadline for the Awards Board and the Nominations and Appointments (N&A) Committee positions is being extended to Thursday, 12 October 2017. 

In 2017, four of the Society’s Major Awards were renamed after a proposal by the Awards Board. The name changes we officially approved by all parties earlier in 2018 and will be put into effect for the 2018 awards cycle.  The new award titles are noted below. 

Digital media, particularly audio, plays a prominent role in crime investigation whether it relates to someone admitting to a crime or exposing illegal dealings between multiple parties. Yet, society is quick to dismiss potential evidence from mainstream media, social media and other platforms. 

Your vote is important! On 15 August 2017, the election of Regional Directors-at-Large for Regions 7 & 9 and Region 10 (term 1 January 2018 through 31 December 2019) and Members-at-Large (term 1 January 2018 through 31 December 2020) of the IEEE Signal Processing Society Board of Governors will open. Ballots will be mailed to SPS members.
