The 9th WoSSPA is part of a series of workshops dedicated to signal processing theory and applications. It started in 1990 as part of the International Symposium on Signal Processing and its Applications (ISSPA90) under the name of Workshop on Signal Processing and their Applications (WoSPA). It was first held as a separate workshop in 1993 in Brisbane, Australia. It was followed by WoSPA97, WoSPA2000, WoSPA2002, WoSPA2005 and WoSPA2008. In 2011, the workshop name was modified to International Workshop on Systems, Signal Processing and their Applications (WoSSPA). WoSSPA provides a forum for engineers and scientists engaged in research and development in different fields and applications, to discuss common objectives and applications, and to interact with leading specialists in the field. WoSSPA encourages collaboration between industry, academia and government institutions.
This international workshop is co-organized and sponsored by the “Centre de Développement des Technologies Avancées” (CDTA), Algiers, Algeria, and will take place on 12-15 May 2013 at the Hotel Safir Mazzafran, overlooking the beach and the Mediterranean sea, and situated about 50 Km from Algiers.

Workshop Format: The workshop program is comprised of oral and poster presentations. The format used in previous WoSPA/ WoSSPA will be kept; it will include a balanced mix of keynote and invited speakers, as well as regular submissions. All papers whether oral or posters are given equal value and will be reviewed and published in IEEExplore in the same way. In addition, there will be a good mix of plenary and tutorial sessions.

Papers are invited in, but not limited to, the following technical areas:

• Methods & Algorithms: Statistical Signal and Array Processing, Time-Frequency/Time-Scale Analysis, Spectral Estimation, Nonlinear System Theory, Image and Multi-dimensional Signal Processing (SP), Independent Component Analysis, Wavelets and Multi-rate SP, Acoustic SP, Fractals, Machine Learning and Pattern Recognition, Sensor Networks, Genomics SP, Software Computing, Time series and system modeling; Digital Filter Design, Algorithm Implementation; others.

• Applications: Biomedical Signal Processing, Audio and Video Signal Processing, Radar and Sonar, Machine Vision, Coding, Encryption and Watermarking, Biometrics, Object Recognition, Detection and Tracking, Wireless Communications, Cooperative Communications, Guidance & Control, Speech Recognition & Speaker Identification, Multimedia Signal Processing, Novel and unconventional linear system modeling techniques, Nonlinear and linear system identification, others.

Submission process: note that all submissions must comply with the 6 page format and must clearly show the relevant technical area for paper evaluation.
