DSP conferences

Started by Evgeny Filatov September 18, 2014
Hi all.

I have never visited a digital communications/DSP conference, but I 
would love to. What are the most important conferences on 
DSP/communications currently?

Also, I'm concerned that I don't have any much in terms of presentable 
results; is it considered good form to show any results?

Thanks in advance,
Evgeny.

it's probably low on the IEEE radar, but if you're in LA next month, there is the Audio Engineering Society convention. many of the presented papers have some DSP in them. but it's not about "digital communications", however there are many facts, theorems, and techniques that audio signal processing technology shares with communications technology. -- r b-j rbj@audioimagination.com "Imagination is more important than knowledge."

Thanks for the advice, Robert! Although I will most certainly miss the 137th AES convention (getting to LA from Russia requires a bit of planning in advance), the 138th AES convention is scheduled to take place in Poland (in Spring 2015), which is all in all a very good opportunity. Evgeny.

if you like audio, that's the ticket. AES is not as pretentious as IEEE (especially the IEEE Transactions that i think have become nearly irrelevant decades ago) so you might find the discourse there more pragmatic and demonstrable. have fun in Poland. -- r b-j rbj@audioimagination.com "Imagination is more important than knowledge."

Not a special fan of audio I'm afraid, but my goal was to learn about conferences people actually attend, rather than the ones most advertised. So it's a very sound advice. A friend of mine does a postdoc in Warsaw -- an extra reason to pay a visit. :) Evgeny.

what's cool about audio is that the Nyquist *rate* (the bottom limit of the sampling rate, which is a property of the signal *not* the system) is much lower than for radio or video or some other really high-frequency signals. so that means, with relatively cheap stuff (like cheap DSP or even cheap general-purpose CPUs like some cheap little ARM or something) you can do a *lot* of instructions per sample period. that means you can do serious processing on audio without having to commit a GPU to it. you can also breadboard audio analog circuits without usually having to worry about the "plumbing" like you would for radio or video frequencies. and if it's voice/speech processing, the minimum sample rate gets even lower. maybe you can do something cool and sell it to the wireless companies. and then there's the music. -- r b-j rbj@audioimagination.com "Imagination is more important than knowledge."

"...and then there's the music" Oh no... Please don't send young dude in a wrong direction Music is all about VST pluging cracked immediately after they reach certain popularity - a few hundred K Ilok ? You gotta be kidding...

Hi, If you're interested in topics such as: "Transmogrified Bistatic Orthonormal Bowman Coefficients in Tight Gabor Frames" then you'll love the ICASSP conferences. [-Rick-]

Thanks for the tips! I'm also looking at the ICC/Globecom. Judging by the topics, it looks like ICASSP is more heavy on the math/DSP, while the ICC/Globecom is more about big trends in the telecom industry (5G, etc.). Evgeny.
