Communication Systems worldwide have provided a rapidly growing and useful range of services and are
continuing to evolve using a multitude of Signal Processing techniques. The 6th International Conference on
Signal Processing and Communication Systems, ICSPCS’2012, follows the very successful ICSPCS'2010 and
ICSPCS'2011. A major objective of the Conference will be to pursue the progression from communication and
information theory through to the implementation, evaluation and performance improvement of practical
communication systems using Signal Processing technology. The Conference is also planned to be a forum for
presenting research into topics ranging from those of the physical layer to the application layer. All aspects of the
protocols and processes required for the future Internet to operate better and the applications to utilize the full
potential offered by the current and the emerging networking infrastructure are also encompassed. In addition, we
expect that, as during the previous events, there will be several papers dealing with image, video and audio
processing for multimedia, medical and forensic applications, as well as with the security of private and corporate
data.
