Given the impossibility of travel during the COVID-19 crisis,  Computational Imaging TC is launching an SPS Webinar Series SPACE (Signal Processing And Computational imagE formation) as a regular bi-weekly online seminar series to reach out to the global computational imaging and signal processing community.

Future networks must provide services to a range of applications and devices with competing and perhaps conflicting requirements while simultaneously allowing flexible deployment. Software Defined Networks (SDN) have a critical role to play in securing such networks against sophisticated security attacks, with its ability to manage dynamically security policies for monitoring and controlling traffic and enforcing them via virtualized network functions. 

The IEEE Signal Processing Society invites nominations for the positions of the Chair, Women in Signal Processing Committee and Chair, Young Professionals Committee. The term for the two positions is three years (1 January 2021-31 December 2023). Nominations must be received no later than 10 July 2020.

As a reminder, most of the SPS publications have eliminated month-based issues and moved to a volume-only, continuous pagination model. This allows for rapid dissemination of content for our journals and now, articles are posted to their respective journals on IEEEXplore® nearly every day! 

This year the Signal Processing Society identified 8 Chapters who exhibited excellence in many facets of chapter management, member recruitment, and activities.

The IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) would like to express our concern and support for the members of our global community and all affected by the current COVID-19 pandemic.

There will be two exciting IEEE SPS Distinguished Lectures coming this summer. They are virtual and are free to join.

The signal processing cup, called the SP Cup, is an annual competition in the IEEE ICASSP conference. The goal of this competition is to encourage teams of 3-10 undergraduate students to solve real world problems using tools from signal processing.

The IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) is honored to announce the elevation of 79 of its members to the grade of IEEE Senior Member. These members have demonstrated outstanding professional performance, exhibited professional maturity through long-term experience, and established themselves as leaders in their respective IEEE-designated fields of interest.

A process is in place to ensure that Section, Chapter and Society officers will be notified when a wire transfer is processed through a local Section bank account for a chapter that does not have its own bank account.
