The 2003 IEEE Workshop on Statistical Signal Processing will be held September 28-October 1, 2003, at the Chase Park Plaza Hotel in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. The purpose of the workshop is to be a forum for technical exchange among engineers and scientists from the IEEE and elsewhere, with common interests in statistics, signal processing, and the interplay between the two. Both the theory and the application of statistical signal processing will be emphasized. Theoretical topics include detection and estimation theory, system identification, spectrum estimation, multirate signal processing, and contemporary or novel statistical techniques such as particle filtering or MCMC methods. Application areas include radar and sonar signal processing, telecommunications, sensor array processing, image analysis, biomedical signal processing, geophysical signal processing, and bioinformatics.
The workshop schedule includes a reception the evening of Sunday, September 28, followed by technical sessions during the day on Monday and Tuesday, September 29-30, and the morning of Wednesday, October 1. The format of the technical portion of the workshop will include 5 plenary speakers and 100-150 contributed presentations, which will be all-poster or a combination of posters and oral presentations. Confirmed plenary speakers include Alan Willsky of MIT and Simon Godsill of Cambridge. Social activities, including a banquet, will be planned for Monday and/or Tuesday evening. The Chase Park Plaza Hotel is a St. Louis landmark, located in a midtown area of St. Louis known as the Central West End. It is about two miles from the Washington University School of Engineering and Applied Science, and one mile from the Washington University School of Medicine. It is situated on the corner of Forest Park, one of the largest urban parks in the country. The hotel has recently undergone extensive renovations, and is ideally suited for a workshop of this nature. The workshop committee is: General Chair, Daniel R. Fuhrmann, Washington University in St. Louis; Technical Program Chair, Robert Nowak, Rice University; Local Arrangements, Joseph A. O'Sullivan, Washington University in St. Louis; Finances, R. Martin Arthur, Washington University in St. Louis; Publicity, Aaron D. Lanterman, Georgia Institute of Technology; Publications, G. Tong Zhou, Georgia Institute of Technology. Important dates: submission of summaries, April 18, 2003; notification of acceptance, June 13, 2003; final manuscript due, August 15, 2003.
