IEEE Statistical Signal Processing Workshop 2014
29 June - 2 July, Gold Coast, Australia

The 2014 IEEE Workshop on Statistical Signal Processing (SSP'14) will be held at Jupiters, Gold Coast, Australia
from June 29th to July 2nd 2014. The SSP Workshop is a unique meeting attended by members of the IEEE Signal
Processing Society together with researchers from allied fields such as statistics, machine learning,
communications and bioinformatics. It has the salient feature of having all the contributed and special sessions
as poster sessions allowing extensive interaction and networking.
