Call for Papers
The fourth IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP) will be held
in Washington, DC, USA on December 7-9, 2016. GlobalSIP has rapidly assumed flagship status
within the IEEE Signal Processing Society. It focuses broadly on signal and information processing
with an emphasis on up-and-coming signal processing themes. The conference features
world-class plenary speeches and overview talks, tutorials, exhibits, oral and poster sessions,
and government panel discussions on emerging topics and funding opportunities in Signal and
Information Processing. GlobalSIP2016 is comprised of co-located symposia selected based on
responses to the Call for Symposium Proposals. Featured symposia include:
* Cognitive communications and Radar
* Big data analytics in medical imaging
* Signal processing for understanding crowd
dynamics
* Signal and information processing for smart
grid infrastructure
* Non-commutative theory and applications
* Sparse signal processing for communications
* Autonomous systems
* ESPA: (industrial) emerging signal processing
applications
