CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

Most of the data collected and stored today is of audio and video type. Indexing and retrieval of this data poses several signal processing challenges. Progress in processing image and speech data will have tremendous impact on the applications of information technology. It is in this context that the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras, and the Indian National Academy of Engineering (INAE) jointly organized the first WISP at IIT Madras in 2006. The previous workshops, conducted during the years 2007 to 2014, were organized by the International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) Hyderabad, IIT Guwahati, IIT Hyderabad and the C. R. Rao Advanced Institute of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science (AIMSCS), Hyderabad. WISP-2015 is being organized by IIIT Hyderabad on 12^th December 2015. The objective of this workshop is to provide an opportunity for students, faculty, scientists and engineers to interact with leading researchers in communication, speech, biometrics, phonetics, image and signal processing areas. The workshop includes invited talks from experts in these and related areas. Researchers in academic, government and industrial organizations are encouraged to participate in the workshop. Early registration is recommended due to limit on the number of participants.
