April 2014

The Signal Processing Theory and Methods Technical Committee (SPTM TC) of the IEEE Signal Processing Society (IEEE-SPS) promotes activities within the technical areas of DSP and statistical signal processing theory and methods.

We are pleased to announce the details of the "MD Elevator Pitch Contest" and are encouraging recruitment and retention by personal outreach and contact.

The MGA Member Benefits Portfolio Assessment Committee is funding up to US$1,500 for student competitions in 2014.

To participate, Region contest organizers must complete the funding request form (DOC, 84 KB).

The completed form should include the required Region officers' signatures, the objectives of the proposed project, the activities that will be undertaken to meet the objectives, the schedule of events, the estimated cost, and the sources of funds.

There is no doubt that our Society’s interests continue to grow with astounding pace. So, 25 years after the name Signal Processing was adopted, it is timely to reflect on whether it continues to portray a true image of the Society’s activities. And if not, is there a name that can capture the Society’s scope better while at the same time improving its visibility? To participate and provide feedback, please go to the Power of a Name page.
