IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing seeks applicants for the position of Editor-in-Chief. The EIC term is three years, nonrenewable. The Steering Committee of the Transactions on Mobile Computing invites applications, which should be sent to Cathy Martin by 1 March 2022.

Millimeter wave (mmWave) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems have become very popular for sensing and wireless communications beyond 5G. While the abundant spectrum available at the mmWave frequency bands enables higher cellular data rates and precise positioning, links at mmWave frequencies are very sensitive to blockages and have significantly higher path loss.

Many important application domains generate distributed collections of heterogeneous local datasets. These local datasets are related via an intrinsic network structure that arises from domain-specific notions of similarity between local datasets. Networked federated learning aims at learning a tailored local model for each local dataset.

X-ray security screening is widely utilized in aviation and transportation, and its importance has sparked interest in automated screening systems. The goal of this webinar is to explore computerized X-ray security imaging methods by classifying them into traditional machine learning and modern deep learning applications.

As part of our ongoing video series to demonstrate the applications of signal processing in everyday life, the IEEE Signal Processing Society Computational Imaging Technical Committee has created a new video, Computational Imaging in Everyday Life.
