August 2019

On 26 July 2019, Professor José M. F. Moura, IEEE President 2019 & CEO delivered his distinguished lecture on “Future Trends in Signal Processing.”  The lecture was held at Analog Devices India Private Limited, in Bengaluru, India, and was well-received by more than 250 attendees; one of the largest audiences for an SPS talk in Bangaluru!

This webinar, “Data Breaches and Multiple Points to Stop Them,” will discuss how preventing unauthorized access to sensitive data might appear to be an unattainable goal. Our presenter will break down the data breach problem and give insights into what organizations could and should do to reduce their risks. 

The IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) is proud to announce that Prof. Mari Ostendorf has accepted the position of Editor-in-Chief (EIC) of the new IEEE Open Journal of Signal Processing (OJ-SP)—a gold, fully open access journal dedicated to publishing peer-reviewed articles on the latest topics and trends in Signal Processing (SP).

In accordance with the Bylaws of the IEEE Signal Processing Society, I am writing to solicit nominations for the Awards Board and the Nominations and Appointments (N&A) Committee. This year, the Society will be filling THREE positions on the N&A Committee for the term 2020-21 and TWO positions on the Awards Board for the term 2020-2022.

This year the Signal Processing Society identified 12 Chapters who exhibited excellence in many facets of chapter management, member recruitment, and activities.

Rabab Ward's career includes many firsts, particularly for women in engineering and signal processing, paving the way in three continents and spanning over four decades. This did not come as easy as we discovered.  After many years of perseverance, Ward became the first woman with a Ph.D. to be appointed as professor of electrical engineering in Canada in 1981. 

The IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) annual election will commence on 15 August, and your vote is more important than ever! Beginning this year, all eligible SPS Members will now vote for the next President-Elect (term 1 January 2020 through 31 December 2021), in addition to the Regional Directors-at-Large for Regions 7 & 9 and 10 (term 1 January 2020 through 31 December 2021), and Members-at-Large (term 1 January 2020 through 31 December 2022) of the IEEE Signal Processing Society Board of Governors (BoG).

Due to overwhelming interest in Member Driven Initiative funding, the IEEE Signal Processing Society has changed its process for submitting proposals through the program. This includes proposals for Forums, Regional Meetings, and Chapter Driven Initiatives.
