Foreword of the Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Sampling Theory and Applications
|
The 10th International Conference on Sampling Theory and Applications (SampTA) took place from July 1 till July 5, 2013, in Bremen, Germany. SampTA’13 brought together mathematicians and engineers interested in sampling theory and its applications to related fields (such as signal and image processing, coding theory, control theory, complex analysis, harmonic analysis, differential equations) to exchange recent advances and to discuss open problems. Paper submissions were invited on any aspect of sampling theory and applications.
The renewed interest in sampling theory, in parts due to the emergence of Compressive Sensing, lead to increased numbers of paper submissions and registrations. All in all, 230 electrical engineers and mathematicians participated at SampTA’13 and we were happy to house them in the Guest House and in a new Residential College of Jacobs University, a fact that greatly enhanced the community spirit that SampTA conferences are known for. As organizers we were very pleased with the outstanding scientific quality of the conference! This was due in part to the excellent plenary talks: |
| Robust subspace clustering | Emmanuel Candes |
| How to best sample a solution manifold? | Wolfgang Dahmen |
| Sampling theory and applications: developments in the last 20 years and future perspectives | Hans-Georg Feichtinger |
| Fast algorithms for sparse Fourier transform | Piotr Indyk |
| Seeing the invisible; predicting the unexpected | Michal Irani |
| Signal recognition and filter identification | Nikolai Nikolskii |
| Stemming the neural data deluge | Jan Rabaey |
| Event-driven sampling and continuous-time digital signal processing | Yannis Tsividis |
| Sampling and high-dimensional convex geometry | Roman Vershynin |
| The scientific quality of SampTA’13 is best illustrated through the papers that are published within these proceedings. They represent talks given in the following special sessions (with the invited session organizer listed on the right): |
| Advances in Compressive Sensing | Holger Rauhut and Joel Tropp |
| Circuit Design For Analog to Digital Converters | Yun Chiu |
| Finite Rate of Innovation | Chandra Seelamantula |
| Optical and RF Systems | Michael Gehm and Nathan Goodman |
| Sampling and Frame Theory | Peter Casazza, Bernhard Bodmann, and Matthew Fickus |
| Sampling and Geometry | Stephen Casey and Michael Robinson |
| Sampling and Learning | Albert Cohen |
| Sampling and Quantization | Holger Boche, Sinan Güntürk, and Özgür Yilmaz |
| Sampling for Imaging Science | Jalal Fadili and Gabriel Peyré |
| Sampling in Bio Imaging | Brigitte Forster, Hagai Kirshner, and Michael Unser |
| Super Resolution | Laurent Demanet |
| as well as posters and presentations that were organized into the following general sessions: |
