IEEE GlobalSIP'15-Call for Papers (http://2015.ieeeglobalsip.org/) General Chairs: Jose 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-and-coming signal processing themes. The conference will feature world-class speakers, tutorials, exhibits, and technical sessions consisting of poster or oral presentations. GlobalSIP' 15 technical program will be comprised of a main program (General Symposium) and several co-located symposia on special topics. Technical paper submissions are solicited in the interest topics which 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 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 Hardware and real-time implementations Other novel and significant Applications of selected areas of signal processing Symposia: • General Symposium • Symposium on Signal Processing on Graphics Processing Units and Multicores • Symposium on Signal Processing in Mobile Multimedia Communication Systems • Symposium on 3GPP EVS and beyond • Symposium on Signal and Information Processing for Optimizing Future Energy Systems • Symposium on Signal Processing Challenges in Human Brain Connectomics • Symposium on Real-Time Signal Processing for Low-Cost and Low-Power Smart Devices • Symposium on Signal Processing for Optical Wireless Communications • Symposium on Signal and Information Processing for Software-Defined Ecosystems, and Green Computing • Symposium on Signal Processing Applications in Smart Buildings • Symposium on Signal Processing and Mathematical Modeling of Biological Processes with Applications to Cyber-Physical Systems for Precise Medicine • Symposium on Massive MIMO and Full-Dimension MIMO (FD-MIMO) Communications Submission of Papers: 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. Manuscripts should be original (not submitted/published anywhere else) and written in accordance with the standard IEEE double-column paper template. All paper submissions should be carried out through EDAS system (http://edas.info). A selection of best papers and best student papers will be made by the GlobalSIP 2015 best paper award committee upon recommendations from Technical Committees. Timeline for paper submission: May 15, 2015: June 30, 2015: September 5, 2015: Paper submission deadline Review results announced Camera-ready papers due Notice: The IEEE Signal Processing Society enforces a “no-show” policy. Any accepted paper included in the final program is expected to have at least one author or qualified proxy attend and present the paper at the conference. Authors of the accepted papers included in the final program who do not attend the conference will be subscribed to a “No-Show List”, compiled by the Society. The “no-show” papers will not be published by IEEE on IEEEXplore or other public access forums, but these papers will be distributed as part of the on-site electronic proceedings and the copyright of these papers will belong to the IEEE.
