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.
Have you encountered big data yet? Chances are you have. From Facebook to Twitter, from Google searches to YouTube videos, from bank statements to utility bills and shopping discount cards, big data is everywhere. But to understand its significance, we must first explore what data is, what makes it “big,” and how it ties to signal processing.
The IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) was recently awarded the IEEE Educational Activities Board’s Society/Council Professional Development Award "for innovative educational and professional development programs that engage professionals, students and the general public in signal processing.”

We spend a considerable amount of time driving - to work and home, for recreation and travel. Envisioning a completely autonomous world, we’ll be able to rent a vehicle pre-programmed to take us to a specified destination. Drivers will be able to disengage to read the newspaper while the car carries out their commute and seamlessly coordinates to ensure the safety of its passengers.

The use of biometric data – an individual’s measurable physical and behavioral characteristics – isn’t new. Government and law enforcement agencies have long used it. The FBI has been building a biometric recognition database; the Department of Homeland Security is sharing its iris and facial recognition of foreigners with the FBI.

Upcoming Workshops
ICASSP 2017
The 42st IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing (ICASSP 2017) will be held during March 5-9, 2017 in the vibrant city of New Orleans, USA. In 2016 (Shanghai) SAM sponsored 14 sessions at ICASSP, and we expect a similar number this year. We hope to meet you soon in New Orleans!

The EURASIP Journal on Information Security invites authors to submit manuscripts for a special issue on "Security Trends in Mobile Cloud Computing, Web and Social Networking".
Already in its third edition, the DFRWS EU 2016 conference will be held in Lausanne, Switzerland from March 30th to April 1st, 2016. The DFRWS is dedicated to the advancement of digital forensics research through open sharing of knowledge and ideas. Ever since it organized the first open workshop in 2001, the DFRWS continues to bring leading researchers, developers, practitioners, and educators from around the world together in an informal collaborative environment.
This change is already happening, and it will be dramatic and exciting! It will completely change how most of us think about data, and how we tackle science and engineering problems. With it will come a flood of new discoveries—advances in the sciences and in new technologies—that were never before possible. What is this revolution? How did we get here? Where is it going, and how is signal processing involved?
