IEEE GlobalSIP'15-Call for Symposium Proposals
2015 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing - Orlando Florida
General Chairs: José M. F. Moura and Dapeng Oliver Wu
Technical Program Chairs: Mihaela van der Schaar, Xiaodong Wang, and Hsiao-Chun Wu
The IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP) is a recently launched flagship
conference of the IEEE Signal Processing Society. GlobalSIP' 15 will be held in Orlando, Florida, USA, December
14-16, 2015. The conference will focus broadly on signal and information processing with an emphasis on up-andcoming signal processing themes. The conference will feature world-class speakers, tutorials, exhibits, and technical
sessions consisting of poster or oral presentations. GlobalSIP' 15 will be comprised of co- located symposia selected
competitively based on responses to this call-for-symposium- proposals. Symposium topics may include, but are not
limited to:
* Signal processing in communications and networks, including green communication and Signal processing
in optical communication
* Image and video processing
* Selective topics in speech and language processing
* Signal processing in security applications
* Signal processing in finance
* Signal processing in energy and power systems
* Signal processing in genomics and bioengineering (physiological, pharmacological and behavioral)
* Signal processing for social media networks
* Neural signal processing
* Seismic signal processing
* Selective topics in statistical signal processing
* Graph-theoretic signal processing
* Machine learning
* Compressed sensing, sparsity analysis, and applications
* Big data processing, heterogeneous information processing and informatics
* Human machine interfaces
* Multimedia transmission, indexing and retrieval, and playback challenges
* Hardware and real-time implementations
* Other novel and significant Applications of selected areas of signal processing
Symposium proposals should include the title of the symposium; length of the symposium (one day or two days);
projected selectivity of the symposium; paper length requirements (submission: from 2 to 6 pages, final: 4-6 pages.*
invited papers may be longer); names, addresses, and short CVs (up to 250 words) of the organizers, including the
general organizers and the technical chairs; an up-to two page description of the technical issues that the
symposium will address (including timeliness and relevance to the signal processing community; names of
(potential) technical program committee members; name of (potential) invited speakers (up to 2 for one-day
symposia and 4 for two-day ones)); and a draft call-for-papers . Please package everything in a single pdf file.
