Signal Processing Society Launches GlobalSIP Conference

GlobalSIP is a new flagship conference launched by the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) in 2013. The focus of GlobalSIP is on signal and information processing and up-and-coming signal processing themes.

The conference is composed of multiple co-located symposia, each with its own poster track for paper presentations, and invited plenary talks. The poster sessions for all symposia are co-located and the plenary talks are aligned into two parallel oral tracks.

The first GlobalSIP conference will be held in Austin, Texas, from December 3-5, 2013. Austin is the capital of Texas and is home to a vibrant live music scene, outstanding dining, many recreational opportunities, and of course The University of Texas at Austin. The following symposia were selected to be included in GlobalSIP 2013. Each symposium is actively soliciting your high quality papers.

• Advancing Neural Engineering Through Big Data
• Bioinformatics and Systems Biology
• Controlled Sensing For Inference: Applications, Theory and Algorithms
• Cyber-Security and Privacy
• Emerging Challenges in Network Sensing, Inference, and Communication
• Energy Harvesting and Green Wireless Communications
• Graph Signal Processing
• Information Processing in the Smart Grid
• Information Processing over Networks
• Low-Dimensional Models and Optimization in Signal Processing
• Low-Power Systems and Signal Processing
• Millimeter Wave Imaging and Sensing
• Mobile Imaging
• Network Theory
• New Sensing and Statistical Inference Methods
• Optimization in Machine Learning and Signal Processing
• Signal and Information Processing in Finance and Economics
• Software Defined and Cognitive Radios
