Call for Papers

As music and rhythm are the heartbeats of life, signal and information processing is the heartbeat of technology development
for our daily life. Having both of them capture the hearts and souls of all the attendees is the goal of the 42th International
Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing (ICASSP 2017) which will be held in Hilton Conference Centre, at the
Jazz music capital (New Orleans, USA) on March 5-9, 2017. ICASSP is the world's largest and most comprehensive technical
conference focused on signal processing and its applications. The conference not only introduces new developments in the field
but also provides an engaging forum to exchange ideas, and does so both for researchers and developers. The theme of the
ICASSP 2017 is "The Internet of Signals" which is the real technology and world behind the Internet of Things. The conference
will feature world-class international speakers, tutorials, exhibits, lectures and poster sessions from around the world. Topics
include but are not limited to:
 Audio and acoustic signal processing
 Bio-imaging and biomedical signal processing

 Sensor array & multichannel signal processing
 Signal processing education

Prospective authors are invited to submit full-length papers, with up to four pages for technical content including figures and
possible references, and with one additional optional 5th page containing only references. A selection of best papers will be made
by the ICASSP 2017 committee upon recommendations from Technical Committees.

Special Sessions:

Special session proposals should be submitted by July 11th, 2016. Proposals for special sessions must include a topical title,
rationale, session outline, contact information for the session chair, a list of authors, and a tentative title and abstract. Additional
information can be found at the ICASSP 2017 website (www.ieee-icassp2017.org).

Tutorials:

Brief proposals for tutorials should be submitted by September 15th, 2016. Proposal for tutorials must include a title, an outline
of the tutorial and its motivation, a two-page CV of the presenter(s), and a short description of the material to be covered.
International Committee Tutorials will be held on March 5th, 2017.

M.Sc./Ph.D. Forum:

The forum will provide an opportunity for M.Sc./Ph.D. students in the fields of electronics, circuits, and embedded systems to
present their thesis/dissertation research (completed in the last year), including work in progress within the topics of interest
for ICASSP 2017. To encourage interaction among the M.Sc./Ph.D. students and researchers from academia, industry, and
government, the forum will be organized as a poster session. A two-page paper on the thesis work will appear in the conference
proceedings.

Signal Processing Letters:

Authors of SPL will be given the opportunity to present their work,
subject to space availability and approval by the Program Chairs.
SPL papers published between January 1st, 2016 and December
31st, 2016 are eligible. Because they are already peer-reviewed and
published, SPL papers presented will neither be reviewed nor
included in the ICASSP proceedings. Approved papers must have
one author/presenter register for the conference.

Demos:

ICASSP 2017 offers a perfect stage to showcase innovative ideas
in all technical areas of interest at ICASSP. All demo sessions will
be highly interactive and visible. Please refer to the ICASSP 2017
website for additional information regarding demo submission.
