ABOUT SiPS:

 

IEEE Workshop on Signal Processing Systems (SiPS) is a major international forum for discussion of new technology progress and innovations in the design and implementation of signal processing systems. The focus is on emerging state-of-the-art signal processing systems (Cloud/Multimedia/Communications/Biosystems) and cutting-edge design platforms (VLSI/SoC/FPGA/Multicore/GPU) for current and future challenges in research and development. Proceedings will be published electronically and will be accessible on the IEEE Xplore Digital library.

Highlights of Program:

* Keynote speakers:

   - Prof. K. J. Ray Liu, Professor of University of Maryland, President of IEEE SP Society, Topic: Time-Reversal Paradigm for Green Wireless Communications

   - Prof. Matthew O’Donnell, Dean of College of Engineering, University of Washington, Topic: Where can signal processing and machine learning algorithms help automate diagnostic procedures in medical imaging?

   - Prof. Abhijit Chatterjee, Professor of Georgia Tech, Topic: Self-Aware Communication and Signal Processing Systems: Real-Time Adaptation to Power, Error Resilience and Workload Demands 

* Special Sessions:

   - “Multimedia System Design Flow and Applications”

   - “Signal Processing to Rescue Moore’s Law”

   - Evening panel on “New challenges and opportunities on Implementing DSP Systems”

* Banquet site: Historical “Red House” located at central Taipei. http://www.redhouse.org.tw/info_en.aspx 

* Workshop Venue: Howard International House (http://intl-house.howard-hotels.com/CT_AsiaPacific2.php)

   - Located in the central area in southern Taipei City.

   - Right next to the campus of National Taiwan University (NTU).

   - Walking distance to Da-An Forest Park (the Central Park of Taipei), Gongguan shopping area and Shida night market. 

   - Walking distance to Taipei Metro Service (subway systems).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

* Paper Submission: Authors are invited to submit full-length (6 pages maximum), original, unpublished papers.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 on the SiPS 2013 website (http://www.sips2013.org/ ).

 

* In 2013, SiPS's special theme is on "Signal Processing Systems for a Green Society." Enabling green technologies through innovative signal processing and VLSI designs is important for bringing earth-friendly systems and applications to build a green society. Submissions that can fall into this broad inter-disciplinary area are particularly encouraged.

 

* Student Paper Contest and Special Issue: There will be a contest for best student papers, and selected papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of the “Journal of Signal Processing Systems.”
