EURASIP PhD Links - Top 10 downloaded PhD theses

The European Association for Signal Processing (EURASIP) PhD Links page is presently the most extensive collection of doctoral dissertations in all areas of signal processing.

This thesis directory on the one hand enables a wider dissemination of the thesis documents and their research results, and on the other hand, it brings a wider recognition to research teams and to individual researchers in the role of supervisor.

This is an open database where high quality PhD manuscripts in pdf file format can be admitted and it is freely accessible to everybody. Notice that, while PhD theses in any European language can be deposited provided it contains an English abstract.

An indication of the usefulness and success of the EURASIP PhD Links is attested by the thesis download statistics as published in "Top-10 downloaded theses per month". In June 2011, the top 10 downloaded Ph.D. theses are:
