CALL FOR PAPERS

The SAM Workshop is a major IEEE Signal Processing Society event devoted to sensor array and multichannel signal processing. The organizing committee invites the international community to present and discuss state-of-the-art developments in the field. SAM 2012 will feature plenary talks by leading researchers in the field as well as lecture/poster sessions, and a number of special sessions organized by internationally recognized experts. The workshop will take place in the campus of Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, NJ, directly across the Hudson River from Midtown Manhattan, with easy access to the New York City by train, bus, and ferry.

Authors are invited to submit contributions in the following areas:

• Adaptive beamforming
• Array processing for biomedical applications
• Array processing for communications
• Blind source separation and channel identification
• Computational and optimization techniques for array processing
• Compressive sensing and sparsity-based signal processing
• Detection and estimation
• Direction-of-arrival estimation
• Intelligent systems and knowledge-based signal processing
• Microphone and loudspeaker array applications
• MIMO radar
• MIMO systems and space-time coding
• Multi-channel imaging
• Multi-sensor processing for smart grid and energy
• Non-Gaussian, nonlinear, and non-stationary models
• Performance evaluations with experimental data
• Radar and sonar array processing
• Sensor networks
• Synthetic aperture techniques
• Space-time adaptive processing
• Statistical modeling for sensor arrays
• Waveform diverse sensors and systems


Prospective authors are invited to submit full-length, four-page papers. The
papers will be handled electronically through the workshop website.
Comprehensive guidelines for paper preparation and submission can be found
at the workshop website at www.stevens.edu/sam2012.

Special session proposals should be submitted by e-mail to the Technical
Program Chairs and should include a topical title, rationale, session outline, contact information, and a list of invited speakers. Special session authors are referred to the SAM2012 website for additional information regarding submissions.
