EURASIP PhD Links - Top 10 downloaded PhD theses
The European Association for Signal Processing (EURASIP) PhD Links page is presently the most extensive collection of doctoral dissertations in all areas of signal processing. This thesis directory on the one hand enables a wider dissemination of the thesis documents and their research results, and on the other hand, it brings a wider recognition to research teams and to individual researchers in the role of supervisor.
This is an open database where high quality PhD manuscripts in pdf file format can be admitted and it is freely accessible to everybody.

Assessment Exam for Electrical/Electronics Engineering Technology Programs Is Now Available
Wondering if your 2- or 4-year university program is actually developing the desired knowledge, skills and abilities in graduates? The Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology Departments Heads Association (ECETDHA), with the support of the test development group at the Society of Manufacturing Engineers and funding from the IEEE, has developed a normative assessment exam covering topics that should form the core of all electrical and electronics engineering technology curricula.
Shining Bright, the Golden Era of Signal Processing
Li Deng, the EIC of IEEE Signal Processing Magazine (SPM), in representing his entire SPM editorial team, would like to share some thoughts with all SPM readers in this departing eNews article and he would also like to take this opportunity to report some new initiatives from SPM. His editorial team took a unique approach to running SPM and their approach turned out to be quite successful. Li also uses this article to express his special, wholehearted thanks to his IEEE colleagues and to introduce Prof. Abdelhak Zoubir, the new editor-in-chief of SPM.
