Society News

Through our recent ICASSP surveys we have learnt that roughly 25% of ICASSP attendees are students, and that many of them are interested in meeting potential employers. Many industry members go to ICASSP to recruit potential employees. As an initiative to better meet the need of SP industry and serving our student members, we decided to investigate having a job marketplace in the Society that allows employers to post job announcements for industry or academic positions, both full-time and internships, in various areas of signal processing.

On behalf of the Awards Board and the Board of Governors of the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS), John Treichler in his role as Vice President - Awards and Membership announced the winners of the 2010 SPS major awards. These SPS members will receive the Society’s prestigious 2010 awards during ICASSP 2011 in Prague, Czech Republic.

The IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) invites nominations for the following Officer positions: President-Elect, Vice President-Conferences and Vice President-Publications for the term 1 January 2012 through 31 December 2014.

Each year, the IEEE Board of Directors confers the grade of Fellow on up to one-tenth percent of the members. To qualify for consideration, an individual must have been a Member, normally for five years or more, and a Senior Member at the time for nomination to Fellow. The grade of Fellow recognizes unusual distinction in IEEE’s designated fields. This year 49 SPS members were recognized with the grade of Fellow by the IEEE Signal Processing Society as of 1 January 2011.
