January 2019

IEEE Signal Processing Society Past President Rabab K. Ward in her capacity as Chair of the Society’s Nominations and Appointments Committee invites nominations for the IEEE Signal Processing Society Officer positions of President-Elect for the term 1 January 2020-31 December 2021 and Vice President-Membership for the term 1 January 2020-31 December 2022.

The Signal Processing Society (SPS) has 12 Technical Committees and 3 Special Interest Groups (SIGs) that support a broad selection of signal processing-related activities defined by the scope of the Society.

The IEEE Signal Processing Society is happy to announce the addition of eleven new Chapters formed in 2018. We welcome the following SPS Chapters and wish them great success in their future activities and events:

Dear esteemed members of the IEEE Signal Processing Society:

Let me first wish you all a prosperous 2019 and great success in your endeavors. I am writing to share some important news with you.

The Signal Processing Society is striving to engage its members more directly and also more strongly in Society affairs and activities. Our Society is blessed with accomplished and thoughtful individuals like you. Your opinion is an asset and we value it.

The IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) invites nominations for the position of Editor-in-Chief for the following journal: IEEE Signal Processing Letters for a 3-year term starting 1 January 2020.

Upcoming webinar, 29 January 2019 by Dr. Victor Elvira. In many problems of signal processing, the interest is in estimating unknown static variables given a set of observations. The hidden parameters and the available data are usually related through a specific model. 

The IEEE Jack S. Kilby Signal Processing Medal is being presented to Alan Willsky of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.

We are pleased to announce that, as of October 2018, the IEEE Transactions on Computational Imaging has formally been accepted for indexing by the Clarivate Analytics Web of Science.

The future of computing is at crossroads. The technological advances that have sustained the exponential growth of computing performance over the last several decades are slowing and the roadmap for future advances is uncertain.

Smart CE systems (or, simplistically, smart electronic systems) are envisioned to be energy, security, and response smart. These three aspects and the design tradeoffs among them are the key for next-generation CE. Energy smart ensures minimal energy consumption that allows longer battery life and smaller energy bills.
