This webinar, “Data Breaches and Multiple Points to Stop Them,” will discuss how preventing unauthorized access to sensitive data might appear to be an unattainable goal. Our presenter will break down the data breach problem and give insights into what organizations could and should do to reduce their risks. 

The IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) is proud to announce that Prof. Mari Ostendorf has accepted the position of Editor-in-Chief (EIC) of the new IEEE Open Journal of Signal Processing (OJ-SP)—a gold, fully open access journal dedicated to publishing peer-reviewed articles on the latest topics and trends in Signal Processing (SP).

This year the Signal Processing Society identified 12 Chapters who exhibited excellence in many facets of chapter management, member recruitment, and activities.

Signal processing works around us constantly, doing unseen work to keep us connected in infinite ways, including 5G connectivity. In our new video, Signal Processing for 5G, learn how 5G employs signal processing methods to detangle information, processing usable data that allows devices to connect efficiently.

New and improved monthly statistics reports are now available containing enriched visual analytics dashboards that can be used for monthly trending. These comprehensive dashboards improve efficiency by allowing OUs to quickly access data that is relevant to them by OU, Region, Section, Grade, Division, etc. 

As a reminder for continuing chapter chairs and for incoming chapter chairs for 2019, we would like to highlight a valuable resource available to you. Launched last year was IEEE OU Analytics, a web-based business intelligence tool to deliver essential metrics on memberships or subscriptions to OUs, including Societies, Councils, Technical Communities, etc.

IEEE is proud to introduce you to IEEE DataPort™, a valuable, easily accessible data platform that can significantly enhance your research efforts.  Upload and store standard or open-access datasets for free with the option to link your paper submission.™

In accordance with the Bylaws of the IEEE Signal Processing Society, I am writing to solicit nominations for the Awards Board and the Nominations and Appointments (N&A) Committee. This year, the Society will be filling THREE positions on the N&A Committee for the term 2020-21 and TWO positions on the Awards Board for the term 2020-2022.

Rabab Ward's career includes many firsts, particularly for women in engineering and signal processing, paving the way in three continents and spanning over four decades. This did not come as easy as we discovered.  After many years of perseverance, Ward became the first woman with a Ph.D. to be appointed as professor of electrical engineering in Canada in 1981. 

Image, Video, and Multidimensional Signal Processing Technical Committee  (IVMSP TC) promotes and guides the advancement of the field of image, video, and multidimensional signal processing.
