Awards
The Technical Committee on Sensor Array and Multichannel (SAM TC) is proud to be successful with 3 Award nominations in the IEEE Signal Processing Society.
Yonina Eldar received the 2013 IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) Technical Achievement Award for “fundamental contributions to sub-nyquist and compressed sampling, convex optimization and statistical signal processing.”
Matthew Herman and Thomas Strohmer received the IEEE SPS Best Paper Award for their paper entitled “High Resolution Radar via Compressed Sensing“, published in the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, Volume: 57, No. 6, June 2009.
MMSP 2017 is the IEEE 19th International Workshop on Multimedia Signal Processing. The workshop is organized by the Multimedia Signal Processing Technical Committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society. The workshop will bring together researchers and developers working on multimedia signal processing to share their experience, exchange views, explore future research directions and network. This year’s event has a theme of ‘Multimedia Processing for Healthcare and Assisted Living’. However, other multimedia signal processing problems will be also solicited.
This edition of the workshop is organized by the University of Bedfordshire and will take place from October 16 to October 18. The workshop will be hosted in the Chequers style mansion house, Putteridge Bury
The annual conference of the International Society for Music Information Retrieval (ISMIR) is the world’s leading interdisciplinary forum on accessing, analyzing, and organizing digital music of all sorts. The ISMIR conference embraces the complexity and diversity of music by showcasing ideas and applications that enhance the way in which we interact with music. Centered around MIR, the conference aims to foster dialogue across disciplines by bringing together researchers, developers, educators, librarians, students and professionals, providing multifaceted interaction and cross-fertilization that will benefit a wide range of related fields. More information about ISMIR can be found from: http://www.ismir.net/.
Over the past decade, the Internet evolution has been characterized by the proliferation of mobile smartphones as dominant devices for accessing the network, and by the impressive growth of connected objects with sensing and actuation capabilities within the paradigm of the Internet of Things in different application domains, such as critical manufacturing, emergency services, energy, financial services, healthcare and public health, information technologies, and transportation systems.
The IEEE international Workshop on Information Forensics and Security (WIFS) is the primary annual event organized by the IEEE Information Forensics and Security (IFS) Technical Committee with the technical sponsorship of the IEEE Biometrics Council. Its major objective is to bring together researchers from relevant disciplines to exchange new ideas and the latest results and to discuss emerging challenges in different areas of information security. The 9th edition of WIFS will be held in Rennes, France, from December 4 to December 7, 2017.
EAB is launching a call for nominations for the eleventh European Biometrics Research and Industry Awards. These prestigious awards are granted annually to individuals who have been judged by a panel of internationally respected experts to be making a significant contribution to the field of biometrics research and innovations in Europe.
