<p class=”MsoNormal”>The deadline (September 29, 2006) is rapidly approaching to submit papers to the most important conference in signal processing: the <a href=”http://www.icassp2007.org/”>International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing (ICASSP)</a>. Next year the conference will be held between April 15 and 20 at the <a href=”http://www.hawaiiconvention.com/”>Hawai’i Convention Center</a> in beautiful <a href=”http://www.co.honolulu.hi.us/”>Honolulu</a>. Based on the many exiting new developments going on in DSP, and the location, next year’s ICASSP already promises to be a success in number and quality of submitted papers, tutorials and special sessions. For more and up-to-date information check the official <a href=”http://www.icassp2007.org/CallForPapers.asp”>Call-for-Papers</a> website.</p>

I have recently learned about “Connexions”, which is essentially an online repository of notes and learning material of different subjects, but with a lot of content focused on DSP. What makes this site so valuable is that it follows the “open access” philosophy, which means that all the information is free (but belonging to an author that has to receive credit for his/her work), and intended to spur collaboration and further contribution. Besides the learning material, this site is also interesting in how the Internet is used intelligently to promote collaboration as well as the use of new tools and technologies (such as MathML).
