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.

The 2015 State of Broadband report produced by the UN Broadband Commission revealed 57 percent of the world’s people remain offline – unable to take advantage of the enormous economic and social benefits the internet offers.
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.

What if we lived in a world without music? It’s utterly unthinkable. Music has long been an important part of human life. Researchers found human remain alongside flutes made from animal bones dating more than 40,000 years ago1. In ancient Greek mythology, muses were goddesses or water nymphs, inspiring humans in the fields of art and science, and spurring incredible developments2.
The Technical Committee on Information Forensics and Security (IFS-TC) is inviting proposals for its flagship workshop WIFS, to be held in Fall/Winter2018. The workshop is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) and the Biometrics Council (BMC). The proposal
should target an audience around 120-160 attendees. Interested groups and individuals are strongly encouraged to approach the members of the IEEE IFS-TC WIFS subcommittee to openly discuss and improve their proposals1. The proposals should be complete and detailed.
