WoSPA 2008

An International Workshop on Signal Processing and its Applications

The 5th WoSPA 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 (ISSPA-90). WoSPA was first held as a separate workshop in 1993 in Brisbane, Australia. It was followed by WoSPA97, WoSPA2000, WoSPA2002, and in 2005 it was merged with CCSP (International Conference on Communication, Computer and Signal Processing), which was held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

WoSPA provides a forum for engineers and scientists engaged in research and development in different fields and applications, with the common interest of Signal Processing, to discuss common objectives and applications, and to interact with leading specialists in the field. WoSPA encourages collaboration between industry, academia and government institutions.

This international workshop is organized by the University of Sharjah, UAE, and will take place on its premises on 18 – 20 March 2008.

Workshop Format: The workshop program is comprised of both oral and poster presentations. As in previous WoSPAs, it is intended that the morning session be mostly devoted to keynote and invited speakers, whereas the afternoon is for poster presentations, subject to the review of final submissions.

This fifth WoSPA will emphasize multidisciplinary research works involving signal processing in different engineering and fundamental fields. For that, three special sessions will be organized on:

ü        Multi-disciplinary research in Signal Processing

ü        Signal Processing for Civil and Architectural Engineering

ü        Emerging fields in Signal Processing

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

• Methods: Statistical Signal and Array Processing, Time-Frequency/Time-Scale Analysis, Non-linear System Theory, Image and Multi-dimensional Signal Processing (SP), Independent Component Analysis, Wavelets and Multi-rate SP, Fractals, Machine Learning and Pattern Recognition, Digital Filter Design, Algorithms and Implementation, Sensor Networks, Genomics SP, Software Computing, Cross-Layer Design, 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, others.
