The 5th IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP) will be held in
Montreal, Quebec, Canada on November 14-16, 2017. GlobalSIP, as a new flagship IEEE Signal
Processing Society conference, focuses on signal and information processing with an emphasis on
up-and-coming signal processing themes. The conference features world-class plenary speeches,
distinguished Symposium talks, tutorials, exhibits, oral and poster sessions, and panels. GlobalSIP
is comprised of co-located General Symposium and symposia selected based on responses to the
call-for-symposia proposals. Featured symposia include:
* General symposium
* Sparse SP and deep learning
* Graph signal processing
* Distributed optimization and resource
management over networks
* Control & information theoretic approaches
to privacy and security
* SP for interference cancellation and fullduplex communication systems
* SP for Accelerating Deep Learning
* SP for Smart Cities & IoTs
* SP & ML in large medical datasets

* Big Data Analytics for IoT Healthcare
* Advanced Bio-SP for Rehabilitation and
Assistive Systems
