Sensing Trends at ICASSP 2011
ICASSP 2011 will include new sessions in its technical program, namely Emerging Trends in Signal Processing. In a session, a Technical Committee of the Signal Processing Society features a number of experts that will highlight the most significant advances and upcoming trends within the TC area over the past year. The TC chair introduces the speakers and moderates the discussion--or initiates and stimulates it, as in a panel discussion.
Call for Participation: Seasonal Schools in Signal Processing (S3P) Program
The Membership Board is delighted to introduce the Seasonal Schools in Signal Processing (S3P) Program in the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS). This program was established in 2010 as an outcome of the SPS Long Range Planning Retreat held during ICIP 2010 in Hong Kong. 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.
