IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing (ICASSP) Taipei, Taiwan – April 19 – 24, 2009
ICASSP 2009 will be in picturesque, exotic Taipei, Taiwan. The island country formerly known as Formosa has magnificent mountains overlooking a beautiful ocean. This striking landscape is a fitting backdrop to what you can expect while attending ICASSP 2009.
The organizing committee of ICASSP 2009, building on more than 34 years of putting together the premier conference on acoustics, speech, and signal processing, has taken a fresh approach to the technical program structure. They have grouped multiple sessions of different types (plenary sessions, tutorials, special sessions, panels, and regular lecture/poster sessions) into common technical emphases or themes. Each grouping is called a Thematic Symposium (TS).

Furthermore, an Overview Talk (OT) session is then assigned to the Thematic Symposia. The OT will enhance cross-disciplinary interaction and broaden education by bringing together the diverse innovations and discoveries of each session into a comprehensive overview for each theme.
With the great help from all of the Signal Processing Society Technical Committees, a total of 4 Thematic Symposia s were produced. These 4 Thematic Symposia s make up an expansive ICASSP 2009 program sure to meet the need of all who travel to Taipei for this innovative conference.
TS-1: Signal Processing for 4G wireless http://icassp09.com/TS-1.asp It is not yet completely clear what 4G wireless systems will look like, but so far "4G" has been used as an umbrella term for a number of recent advances in wireless communications. One of those advances is the cognitive radio concept, where devices will look for holes in the spectrum (a.k.a. spectrum sensing) and dynamically share the free spectrum with other devices (a.k.a. dynamic resource allocation). Combining these ideas with the use of multiple antennas per device opens up another dimension. This extra degree of freedom leads to improved performance, but it complicates the required signal processing algorithms. It is time to join all these research efforts in a thematic symposium on 4G.
TS-2: Network Distributed Signal Processing http://icassp09.com/TS-2.asp There is growing interest in network distributed signal processing algorithms and applications, such as distributed environmental sensing, detection and estimation, filtering, adaptive networks, learning, motion estimation and scene analysis, to name a few. Beyond local computation, network distributed signal processing algorithms must also take into account the constraints and opportunities in the underlying communication network (e.g., time-varying link capacities, battery power, etc). Whereas most current research in the area is focused on sensor networks, there are emerging applications that will operate over hybrid heterogeneous networks. This symposium includes tutorials and sessions that cover recent developments in network distributed signal processing, filtering, estimation, and adaptation.
TS-3: Immersive Communication http://icassp09.com/TS-3.asp With the advent of modern communication technology, physical distance is no longer a barrier to real-time interaction. But current technologies are not perfect: cellular networks typically lack a video component; broadband connections hardly provide for an immersive experience; high-end remote presence solutions are expensive and constraining. Therefore there is a strong need of research and development of advanced technologies and tools to bring immersive experience into teleconferencing so people across geographically distributed sites can interact collaboratively. This requires deep understanding of multiple disciplines. The Immersive Communication TS touches the topics of user experience, speech processing, 3D video, and multi-modal processing.
TS-4: Multimedia Search and Retrieval http://icassp09.com/TS-4.asp Although information retrieval is a mature area for text documents, search and retrieval of audio and visual sources is still in its infancy. Multimedia search and retrieval is a hot research area whose aim is to handle the explosion of speech, language, sound, image and video data in modern communication and storage systems. In this symposium, we highlight the latest research advances and industrial developments in search and retrieval of multimedia information.
