This is an exciting time for signal processing education. We’ll review some of the recent progress and future trends in SP education through a range of different initiatives

Recognizing the increased relevance of, and research interest in this area, the Information Forensics and Security Technical Committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society organized a special session on Secure Signal Processing at the recently held ICASSP 2011 at Prague on May 25, 2011.

ICASSP 2011 introduced a new type of event in its technical program, namely "Trends in Signal Processing". In total, all 13 sessions were held during lunch time from Wednesday till Friday (May 25 to May 27, 2011), and each lasted 30 minutes. In each session, a Technical Committee of the Signal Processing Society featured a few expert summaries that highlighted the most significant advances and upcoming trends within the TC's area over the past year. These “Trends in Signal Processing” sessions were well attended by enthusiastic audiences. The expert summaries presented in these “Trends in Signal Processing” sessions will later be published in IEEE Signal Processing Magazine.
