More than one million fetal deaths occur in the United States every year. Monitoring the long-term heart rate variability provides a great amount of information about the fetal health condition which requires continuous monitoring of the fetal heart rate.

Compressive sensing (CS) theory opens promising avenues toward building rapid and energy-efficient sensing systems in a wide range of applications that require inherently high temporal and/or spatial resolution while exhibiting a sparse signal structure.

Erik Meijering, the current Chair of SPS’s Bio Imaging and Signal Processing (BISP) Technical Committee, has been pursuing his passion in signal processing from the onset of his education. Realizing early on the vast and evolving ways that signal processing can unlock solutions for the advancement of technology, Erik’s studies began in digital image processing and eventually focused on applications in biomedical imaging for his PhD.

Virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) hold tremendous potential to advance our society and are commonly seen as the 4^th major disruptive technology wave after PC, the Internet/Web, and mobile.

As a reminder for continuing chapter chairs and for incoming chapter chairs for 2019, we would like to highlight a valuable resource available to you. Launched last year was IEEE OU Analytics, a web-based business intelligence tool to deliver essential metrics...

Optical fiber communication systems provide the infrastructure for high-capacity data transfer. The field has shown dramatic increases in transmission capacity, and yet the demand for capacity also grows significantly. We are in a situation in which systems must continually grow in capacity to keep pace with the demand, thereby necessitating continual innovation and technical advances.
