CALL FOR PAPERS

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 General Symposium of GlobalSIP’15 will focus broadly on signal and information processing with an emphasis on up-and-coming signal processing themes. 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 finance
   • 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
   • Selective topics in statistical signal processing
   • Graph-theoretic signal processing
   • Machine learning
   • Compressed sensing, sparsity analysis, and applications
   • Big data processing, heterogeneous information processing and informatics
   • Human machine interfaces
   • Multimedia transmission, indexing and retrieval, and playback challenges
   • Hardware and real-time implementations
   • Other novel and significant Applications of selected areas of signal processing

There will be two categories of papers for General Symposium
   1) Regular papers
   2) Presentation request for published IEEE Signal Processing Letters. (The pdf file of the published paper needs to be submitted; these papers will not be reviewed; authors need to pay registration fee so that they can present their papers as posters at GlobalSIP’15.)

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.

Signal Processing Letters: Authors of IEEE Signal Processing Letters (SPL) papers will be given the opportunity to present their work at GlobalSIP 2015, subject to space availability and approval by the GlobalSIP'15 Technical Program Chairs. SPL papers published between January 1, 2014 and April 30, 2015 are eligible for presentation at GlobalSIP 2015. Because they are already peer-reviewed and published, SPL papers presented at GlobalSIP 2015 will neither be reviewed nor included in the ICASSP proceedings. Requests for presentation of SPL papers should be made through EDAS system (http://edas.info) under the General Symposium of GlobalSIP 2015 on or before May 15, 2015. Approved requests for presentation must have one author register for the conference according to the GlobalSIP 2015 registration instructions.

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.
