The 5th IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP) will be held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on November 14-16, 2017. GlobalSIP, as a new flagship IEEE Signal Processing Society conference, focuses on signal and information processing with an emphasis on up-and-coming signal processing themes. The conference features world-class plenary speeches, distinguished Symposium talks, tutorials, exhibits, oral and poster sessions, and panels. GlobalSIP is comprised of co-located General Symposium and symposia selected based on responses to the call-for-symposia proposals. Featured symposia include: • General symposium • Sparse SP and deep learning • Graph signal processing • Distributed optimization and resource management over networks • Control & information theoretic approaches to privacy and security • SP for interference cancellation and full-duplex communication systems • SP for Accelerating Deep Learning • SP for Smart Cities & IoTs • SP & ML in large medical datasets • Big Data Analytics for IoT Healthcare • Advanced Bio-SP for Rehabilitation and Assistive Systems • Deep Learning for Intelligent Multimedia • Knowledge-based Multimedia Computing • Stochastic & approximate computing for signal processing and machine learning • Signal and information processing (SIP) for smart grid infrastructure • SIP for Healthcare Engineering • SIP for Finance and Business Prospective authors are invited to submit full-length papers (up to 4 pages for technical content, an optional 5th page containing only references) and extended abstracts (up to 2 pages, for paper-less industry presentations and Ongoing Work presentations). Manuscripts should be original and written in accordance with the standard IEEE 2-column paper template. Accepted full-length papers will be indexed on IEEE Xplore. Accepted abstracts will not be indexed in IEEE Xplore, however the abstracts and/or the presentations will be included in the IEEE SPS SigPort. Accepted papers and abstracts will be scheduled in lecture and poster sessions. Important Dates: • May 15, 2017 : Paper submission due • June 30, 2017 : Final acceptance decisions notifications sent to all authors • July 22, 2017 : Camera-ready papers due http://2017.ieeeglobalsip.org/
