CALL FOR PAPERS

ABOUT SiPS:

SiPS is a major international forum for discussion of new technology
progress and innovations in the design and implementation of digital signal
processing systems. It addresses all aspects of architecture and design
methods of these systems. Both theoretical and experimental research results
are welcome. Proceedings will be published electronically and will be
accessible on the IEEE Xplore Digital library.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts on topics including,
but not limited to:

1. Optimization of Signal Processing Algorithms and Architectures:
1.1 Dataflow-based design and implementation.
1.2 Optimization of signal processing algorithms.
1.3 Compilers and tools for signal processing system design.
1.4 Algorithm transformation and algorithm-to-architecture mapping.
2. Software Based Design and Implementation of Signal Processing Systems:
2.1 Embedded signal processing in cyber-physical systems.
2.2 Programmable digital signal processor architecture and systems.
2.3 Application specific instruction-set processor (ASIP) architecture
and systems.
2.4 SIMD, VLIW, and multi-core CPU architecture and systems.
2.5 Graphic processing unit (GPU) based massively parallel implementation.
3. VLSI Based Design and Implementation of Signal Processing Systems:
3.1 Low-power signal processing circuits and applications.
3.2 High performance VLSI systems.
3.3 FPGA and reconfigurable architecture based systems.
3.4 System-on-chip and network-on-chip.
4. Signal Processing Application Systems:
4.1 Audio, speech and language processing.
4.2 Biomedical signal processing and bioinformatics.
4.3 Image, video and multimedia signal processing.
4.4 Information forensics, security and cryptography.
4.5 Machine learning for signal processing.
4.6 Sensing and sensor signal processing.
4.7 Wireless communications and networking.

IMPORTANT DATES

* Paper submission deadline: April 6th, 2012
* Acceptance notification: June 22nd, 2012
* Camera-ready paper due: July 23rd, 2012

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Paper Submission: Authors are invited to submit full-length (6 pages
maximum), original, unpublished papers. Previously published papers or
papers currently under review for other conferences/journals should not be
submitted and will not be considered. Paper format information is available
on the SiPS 2012 website.

* In 2012, SiPS’s special theme is on “Embedded Signal Processing in
Cyber-Physical Systems.” Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are physical and
engineered systems whose operations are monitored, coordinated, controlled
and integrated by a computing and communication core. Submissions that can
fall into this broad inter-disciplinary area are particularly encouraged.

* Student Paper Contest and Special Issue: There will be a contest for best
student papers, and selected papers will be considered for publication in a
special issue of the Journal of Signal Processing Systems.
