SPS awards procedural changes
Over the past few years, the Society has
approved some procedural changes to
the SPS Awards program, including
some new changes approved earlier this
year. Please note that these changes are
in effect for the 2016 nomination period.
The changes are intended to provide an
effective means to encourage award
nominations in all categories from the
SPS community-at-large, including individuals, technical committees, editorial
boards, and other major boards, except
in the cases of conflict of interests.
Technical committees and boards may
pass on to the Awards Board one or
multiple nominations that they receive
for all awards.
The paper awards nomination form
now requests citation impact information.

The Awards Board will continue to
review the nominations and make selections on paper awards.
For all major awards other than paper
awards, the Awards Board will now be
responsible for vetting the nominations
and producing a short list of no more
than three nominations per award. The
Board of Governors will continue to vote
on the selection of the major awards.
A board or committee cannot nominate one of its current members for an
award. However, the board/committee
member can be nominated by another
board or committee. Current elected
members of a committee/board may participate as individual nominators for
other members of the same board/committee. Individual nominations can have
multiple conominators listed on the nomination form. In addition, individual
nominations can include up to two
endorsements to strengthen the nomination. All endorsements must be submitted
via e-mail to the specified address, which
will provide the nomination with a date
and time stamp. If more than two

endorsements are submitted, only the
first two received endorsements will be
forwarded to the IEEE SPS Awards
Board for consideration. A nominator
cannot serve as an endorser for a nomination he/she is submitting. If the Society
policies state that a particular board/committee/individual is not eligible to nominate for a particular award, then that
same group of individuals is not eligible
to be an endorser.
Technical committee and special
interest group award nomination procedures have been approved with suggested
award nomination and voting procedures.
For full details on each award, as well
as the new Society and technical committee/special interest group awards policies
and endorsement form, please visit the

the process, please contact Awards Board

Do you know? Your colleagues are archiving slides
of their signal processing work on IEEE SigPort.

The slides and posters you spent hours to make are highlights of your work.
Aren't they "forgotten" soon after conference presentations or thesis defense?

IEEE Signal Processing Society's SigPort repository helps extend the life of your slides and
posters, and raise the visibility of your work. SPS Members upload FREE in 2016!

* Promote your work more and sooner than IEEE Xplore: ICASSP'16 slides and posters
posted on SigPort received an average of 32 downloads within two months.
GlobalSIP'15 slides had an average of 91 downloads within six months.

* How? Login on www.sigport.org using IEEE web account credentials.

Go to "submit your work" on the top menu and use promotion
code you14100 for free upload.

* Beyond slides and posters: SigPort welcomes research drafts, white
papers, theses, slides, posters, lecture notes, dataset descriptions, product
brief, and more. Send questions or comments to Chief Editor at .
