The Winter 2012 edition of the IEEE Speech and Language Processing Technical Committee's Newsletter is now online.

The Bio Imaging and Signal Processing Technical Committee (BISP TC) of the IEEE Signal Processing Society (IEEE-SPS) promotes activities within the broad technical areas of biomedical and biological signal and image processing.

Speech and Language Technical Committee (SLTC) is part of the IEEE Signal Processing Society, aiming to promote and influence technical areas related to speech and language processing and (speech-to-speech) machine translation.

In this issue of the SAM newsletter, we report on recent awards related to our field and give an outlook on SAM 2012.

The SPTM TC has elected 7 new members from 2012. The IEEE Workshop on Statistical Signal Processing 2011 (SSP2011) was successfully held in Nice France.
