Technical Committee News

Since Feburary 2013, IEEE Special Technical Community on Social Network (STCSN) has launched its E-letter on social network related projects and researches every three months on the website (http://stcsn.ieee.net/e-letter).

The aim of the STCSN E-Letter is to provide timely updates on recent developments, hot research topics, and society news in the area of social networking. Each edition publishes a set of research articles that discuss topics in the realm of the community.

Last year, the SPS Board of Governors approved the creation of Special Interest Groups. Special Interest Groups are provisional groups that are created to quickly address emerging technical areas.

For our August 2014 issue, we cover recent patents granted in the area of passive radar systems. The section below covers patents granted recently for passive radar related signal processing methods focusing on activity detection, sport monitoring, radar based surveillance, object detection and tracking.

The Signal Processing Society (SPS) has 12 technical committees and two Special Interest Groups (SIGs) that support a broad selection of signal processing related activities defined by the scope of the Society. Technical Committees and SIGs are actively involved in awards, conferences, publications, and educational activities, and provide technical advice to the Society’s leadership.
