Eighth IMA International Conference on

Mathematics in Signal Processing

CO-SPONSORED BY THE IET

16-18 December 2008

Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester, UK

Call for Papers

Signal processing constitutes an important area for the application of mathematical concepts and techniques fuelled, for example, by developments in mobile communications, multimedia systems and digital TV. The subject is still advancing rapidly in areas such as non-linear/non-Gaussian/non-stationary signal processing, digital communication systems, iterative estimation (e.g. turbo codes), blind deconvolution/signal separation and broadband systems. The last IMA conference on this subject was held in December 2006 and in response to popular demand, the next one will be held at the same location in December 2008. The aim of the conference is to bring together mathematicians, statisticians and engineers with a view to exploring recent developments and identifying fruitful avenues for further research. It is hoped that the meeting will help to attract more mathematicians into this important and challenging field.

The conference will follow the same successful format as before, comprising a keynote address and six non-overlapping sessions each featuring:
(a) two or three spoken papers with some tutorial content
(b) a related poster session for more specific research papers.

In order to simplify travel arrangements, the conference will start on a Tuesday rather than a Monday.
