Paper submission deadline  :    1 April 2018 
Acceptance notification   :         15 June 2018 
IEEE  SiPS  is  a  premier  international  forum  for  researchers  and  practitioners  from  industry  and  academia  to
exchange  the  latest  scientific  and  technical  advances  in  the  area  of  design  and  implementation  of  signal 
processing systems. It addresses current and future challenges and new directions in research and development 
of these systems.  
Paper  Submission:  Authors  are  invited  to  submit  full‐length  (max.  6  pages),  original,  unpublished  papers. 
Previously  published  papers  or  papers  currently  under  review  for  other  conferences/journals  should  not  be
submitted and will not be considered. Paper format information is available at www.sips2018.org. IEEE SiPS 2018
will have Special Sessions on "Signal processing systems for Radio Astronomy" and "Architectures for Machine 
Learning Algorithms". Other Special Session proposals can also be submitted via the same website. 
Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts on topics including, but not limited to:
