Following the success of the first four editions of the IEEE workshop on Computational Advances in Multi-Channel Sensor Array Processing, we are pleased to announce the fifth workshop in this series, sponsored by the Sensor Array and Multi-channel (SAM) Technical Committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society. CAMSAP 2013 will be held at the Radisson Blu Resort, Marina & Spa in Saint Martin, a French-Dutch island in the Caribbean, and will feature a number of plenary talks from the world’s leading researchers in the area, special focus sessions, and contributed papers. All papers will undergo peer review in order to provide feedback to the authors and ensure a high-quality program.

TOPICS OF INTEREST:
• Convex optimization and relaxation
• Computational linear & multi-linear algebra
• Computer-intensive methods in statistical SP (bootstrap, MCMC, EM, particle filtering)
• Distributed computing, estimation, and detection algorithms
• Sparse signal processing
• Emerging techniques

APPLICATIONS:
• Array processing, radar, sonar, waveform design, space-time processing
