9th IMA International Conference on Mathematics in Signal Processing
Date: Monday 17 - Thursday 20 December 2012 Location: Austin Court, Birmingham
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, compressive sampling, digital communication systems, iterative estimation (e.g. turbo codes), blind deconvolution/signal separation, broadband systems, compressive sensing and novel sampling schemes. The last IMA conference on this subject was held in December 2008 and in response to popular demand, the next one will be held in December 2012. 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 tutorials, keynote addresses 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.
A social programme will be organised and will include a reception to welcome delegates.
Call for Papers - extended deadline
Contributed papers are invited on all aspects of mathematics in signal processing and will be accepted on the basis of a 300-500 word abstract which should be submitted by 23 May 2012 online at http://online.ima.org.uk/ or by e-mail to conferences@ima.org.uk. Please see Information for Contributors for further information.
