The IEEE Signal Processing Society welcomes proposals from prospective organizers of summer schools under the newly launched S3P  (Seasonal Schools in Signal Processing) Program. 

S3P seasonal schools are typically either summer schools or winter schools, and are geared towards providing graduate students, early stage researchers, and practitioners with background on selected topics in signal processing.

The IEEE SPS is now inviting proposals to host the International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP) in 2017.

Li Deng, the EIC of IEEE Signal Processing Magazine (SPM), in representing his entire SPM editorial team, would like to share some thoughts with all SPM readers in this departing eNews article and he would also like to take this opportunity to report some new initiatives from SPM. His editorial team took a unique approach to running SPM and their approach turned out to be quite successful. Li also uses this article to express his special, wholehearted thanks to his IEEE colleagues and to introduce Prof. Abdelhak Zoubir, the new editor-in-chief of SPM.

The IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) announced the 2012 Class of Distinguished Lecturers. Five colleagues were honored and they are: Tülay Adali (University of Maryland); John Apostolopoulos (Hewlett-Packard Labs); Yonina Eldar (Israel Institute of Technology); Ton Kalker (Hewlett-Packard Labs); and Pierre Moulin (University of Illinois-Urbana).

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.

While the idea of shared or outsourced network infrastructures and services may be old hat in the IT community, Cloud Computing represents a revolutionary technological leap forward for policy-makers in Washington and in the states,

who must grapple with new issues related to security, privacy, law enforcement and more using an increasingly outdated structure of laws and regulations.
