The SPS Awards Board is now accepting nominations for 2012 major SPS awards, including the Society Award, the Technical Achievement Award, the Education Award, the Meritorious Service Award, the Best Paper Award, Young Author Best Paper Award, Signal Processing Magazine Best Paper Award and Best Column Award.. Prospective nominators are encouraged to submit nominations well in advance of the deadline of 1 October 2012.

Region 9 of the IEEE Signal Processing Society has seen a lot of new activity recently.

Instituto Tecnológico de Metropolitano (ITM) and Universidad de Antioquia are organizing a conference in Medellin, Colombia: the XVII version of the digital signal processing, image processing and computer vision conference that will be held in September 12, 13 and 14, 2012. This event is sponsored by the IEEE Colombia’s chapter of Digital Signal Processing.

At its 31 March 2012 meeting, the Board of Governors of the IEEE Signal Processing Society passed amendments to the Society’s Constitution document. Procedures require approval by the IEEE Technical Activities Board, which has already been secured, followed by a 30-day period for member comment. The amendment is considered approved unless one-half percent or more of the Society’s membership objects, in writing, within 30 days of publication. Publication here fulfills the latter portion of the approval requirement.

IEEE recently launched a news page and blog with the tagline “Brightening the future, improving the world” that promotes the value of IEEE Societies and communities. Articles cover humanitarian, educational, and technological achievements and initiatives, including those of the IEEE Humanitarian Technology Challenge.
