CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

Most data collected and stored in machines 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 the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras, Chennai and the Indian National Academy of Engineering jointly organized the first WISP in 2006 at IIT Madras. The previous workshops WISP-2007, WISP-2008, WISP-2009 and WISP-2010 were organized by the International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) Hyderabad, the IIT Guwahati and the C. R. Rao Advanced Institute of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science (AIMSCS), Hyderabad. WISP-2011 is being organized jointly by IIIT Hyderabad and CRRao AIMSCS Hyderabad on 17^th December 2011 at IIIT Hyderabad. The objective of this one day 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 from India and abroad. 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.
