The purpose of the Image, Video, and Multidimensional Signal Processing Technical Committee (IVMSP TC) is to promote and guide the advancement of the field of image, video, and multidimensional signal processing.

Aditya Chopra (The University of Texas at Austin), “Modeling and Mitigation of Interference in Wireless Receivers with Multiple Antennae”, Advisor: Prof. Brian L. Evans, 2011 The demand for mobile Internet data is on track to increase by 1000x over this decade. The most significant gain in communication capacity will continue to come through increased frequency reuse.

The Information Forensics and Security Technical Committee of the Signal Processing Society recently organized the 2011 IEEE International Workshop on Information Forensics and Security in picturesque Foz do Iguacu, Brazil, from November 29th to December 2nd, 2011. Third in the series (after WIFS'09 in London, and WIFS'10 in Seattle), this year's workshop again attracted a record number of submissions. The main track received an overwhelming 123 submissions, out of which 40 high-quality papers were selected after rigorous peer review.

The Signal Processing Education Standing Committee (SPEd SC) would like to encourage your participation in the Signal Processing Education Network (SPEN) project, and its next workshop in Houston, TX.

At the 2011 IEEE ICASSP inPrague, the program committee revived the idea of expert overview sessions called “Trends,” which are summary talks authored by the IEEE Signal Processing Society Technical Committees and presented by their keynote experts. Starting from its September issue, IEEE Signal Processing Magazine publishes a serious of three columns summarizing the “Trends” expert sessions.

Date: January 16-20, 2012, Location: Heraklion, Crete, Greece Venue: Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH) Organizers: Athanasios Mouchtaris, Yannis Stylianou The vision of immersive environments is to enable natural interactions among people who are geographically distributed. Future interfaces are envisioned to provide some degree of immersion among the user and a device, so as to enable a natural means of interaction. The proliferation of multichannel audio systems (e.g.

“The entire science and education dissemination chain can be viewed as a value chain that runs from the top of a small pyramid of a group whose main duty is to create original/novel ideas and results, to the middle range of developers who take concepts/ideas into some real systems, and finally to those who design products and interfaces used by millions……”, said by Dr. Ray Liu in the President’s Message.

The IEEE Signal Processing Society welcomes proposals from prospective organizers of summer schools under the newly launched S3P  (Seasonal Schools in Signal Processing) Program.  S3P seasonal schools are typically either summer schools or winter schools, and are geared towards providing graduate students, early stage researchers, and practitioners with background on selected topics in signal processing. For more details about the S3P Program, and for links to recent events that have been organized und
