Monte Carlo (MC) methods are a set of fascinating computational techniques that have attracted ever-increasing attention in the last decades. They are based on the simulation of random samples that are used for diverse purposes, such as numerical integration or optimization.

Did you know the Society offers funding under the Member Driven Initiatives program for events that encourage involvement by SPS membership, including local chapters, universities, industry members as well as individual members? 

This IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) Chapter Certification program is now accepting applications for review in 2021. This is open to all Chapters who are not currently certified, or whose certification will end on 31 December 2021.

Nominations are due 15 January annually for the IEEE Technical Field Awards (TFAs). Download nomination forms and award-specific criteria.

IEEE SPS has built a streamlined mechanism for employers to add a job announcement by simply filling in a simple job opportunity submission Web form related to a particular TC field. To submit job announcements for a particular Technical Committee, the submission form can be found by visiting the page below and selecting a particular TC.

Are you looking to energize signal processing students, early stage researchers, and industry practitioners? Consider hosting a virtual Seasonal School for young engineers!

A reminder that chapter events and officer reporting need to be updated in vTools <http://vtools.ieee.org&gt; throughout the year.  This will ensure that current data is on file and that your chapter activity is accurately recorded.  All units are encouraged to try to hold at least virtual meetings, if possible, to show that the unit is active.

IEEE Fellow is the highest grade of membership of the IEEE. It honors members with an outstanding record of technical achievements, contributing importantly to the advancement or application of engineering, science and technology, and bringing significant value to society.
