The 2018 IEEE Workshop on Statistical Signal Processing (SSP) will be held from 10-13 June 2018 in
Freiburg, Germany. The SSP Workshop is a unique meeting that brings members of the IEEE Signal
Processing Society together with researchers from allied fields such as bioinformatics, communications,
machine learning, and statistics. One of its key features is having all contributed and special sessions as
poster sessions allowing extensive interaction and networking. The scientific program of SSP 2018 will
include invited plenary talks, and regular and special sessions with contributed research papers. All
submitted papers are reviewed by experts, and all accepted papers will be published on IEEEXplore.
We invite submitting original research papers on topics including, but not limited to, the following areas:
Foundations,	methods,	and	algorithms
* Detection	and	estimation	theory
* Machine	learning	and	pattern	recognition
* Signal	separation	methods
* Data	driven	methods
* Bayesian	techniques
* Sampling	and	reconstruction
* Signal	and	system	modeling
* Adaptive	signal	processing
* Distributed	signal	processing
* Signal	processing	over	graphs	and	networks
* Optimization
* Sparsity-aware	processing
* Matrix	and	tensor	methods

Application	areas
* Bioinformatics	and	genomics
* Big	data
* Signal	processing	for	the	internet	of	things
* Array	processing,	radar,	and	sonar
* Communication	systems	and	networks
* Sensor	networks
* Information	forensics	and	security
* Medical	and	biomedical	imaging
* Social	networks
* Smart	grids	and	industrial	applications
* Geoscience

Venue: The conference will be held at the spectacular Historical Merchants' Hall, one of the most
outstanding historical buildings in Freiburg dating back to the 14th century. It is situated in the historical
center of the city right next to Freiburg cathedral and its main square, which features al fresco dining and
boutique shopping.
Freiburg is a famous old university town, known for its high standard of living, its beautiful natural setting,
and for being the sunniest and warmest city in Germany. It is located in the heart of the Baden winegrowing region close to the Swiss and French borders and serves as the main entry point to the
breathtaking beauty of the Black Forest. Freiburg has a convenient high-speed train connection to
Frankfurt International Airport.
