About the Magazine

Scope

IEEE Signal Processing Magazine (SPM) publishes tutorial-style articles on signal processing research and applications, as well as columns and forums on issues of interest. Its coverage ranges from fundamental principles to practical implementation, reflecting the multidimensional facets of interests and concerns of the community. Its mission is to bring up-to-date, emerging and active technical developments, issues, and events to the research, educational, and professional communities.

SPS Announces 2018 Class of DLs and Creates New Distinguished Industry Speaker Program

2018 class of DLsThe IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) has announced the 2018 Class of Distinguished Lecturers (DLs) for the term of 1 January 2018 to 31 Decem- ber 2019. In addition, a special Signal Processing Data Science DL has also been named to explicitly address the areas of signal processing and data sci- ence for the same term. The IEEE SPS DL Program provides a means for Chap- ters to have access to well-known educa- tors and authors in the fields of signal processing to lecture at Chapter meetings.

Taking the Next Step for IEEE Signal Processing Magazine

I am pleased to start my three-year term as editor-in-chief (EIC) of IEEE Signal Processing Magazine (SPM) as you read this first issue of the new year. Let me introduce myself. I started my career in signal processing at the University of Virginia. As I dreamt of becoming a patent attorney, I made my way through a B.S. degree in electrical engineering. However, while sitting in my  rst course on signal processing, I realized the magic of signals, systems, and transforms.

Signals and Signal Processing: The Invisibles and the Everlastings

When you receive this issue of IEEE Signal Processing Magazine, a symposium, “The Future of Signal Processing,” was just held at the Massachu- setts Institute of Technology (MIT). The symposium honored the career of Prof. Alan Oppenheim as one of the pioneers in signal processing research and education. Attendees from various organizations around the world discussed and shared insights of the profound roles that signal processing have played and envisioned the future trends of signal processing.
