EUSIPCO 2018: Call for Proposals |
This is a Call for Proposals for the 26th European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO 2018) to be held in late August/early September 2018. EUSIPCO is sponsored by the European Association for Signal Processing (EURASIP), founded on September 1, 1978 to “improve communication between groups and individuals that work within the multidisciplinary, fast growing field of Signal Processing in Europe and elsewhere, and to exchange and disseminate information in the field all over the world”.
EUSIPCO is a learned and professional platform for dissemination and discussion of all aspects of signal processing. It features plenaries, tutorials, and lecture and poster sessions.
Proposals should include the following items:
- Proposed dates in 2018;
- Organizing committee members, including biographic information;
- A budget, which includes anticipated financial and in-kind support;
- Comprehensive information about the location and what it has to offer.
Proposals should be submitted to the EURASIP Events Coordinator who will advise at which EUSIPCO conference, proposals will be presented to the EURASIP Board of Directors.

EURASIP Journals Published by Elsevier: Key Editorial Figures |
|
Elsevier is pleased to report that 2013 saw very positive progression for the three EURASIP titles, across the board, in the following areas:
Growth in papers
In the last 12 months, Signal Processing saw a 13.1 % increase in submissions (1631 articles) and a 19.7 % increase in accepted articles (376). Speech Communication has seen a decrease in submitted papers, down 12 % (224 articles), but with accepted papers remaining steady. Signal Processing: Image Communication has seen an increase of 19.4 % in submitted articles (449) and a 16.9 % increase in accepted papers (97 articles).
Article usage
Downloads for Signal Processing (464,000) have increased by 50,000 compared to 2012. In 2013, Signal Processing: Image Communication has increased by 25,000 to 127,216 full text articles, Speech Communication has again remained steady at approximately 180,000 articles. It may be useful to know that individual authors can sign up to receive alerts as to the usage of their published papers, when they publish in these journals.
Impact Factors and other metrics
On the whole, performance in Impact has been very good, especially given the positive growth in papers over the last few years. Signal Processing's Impact Factor increased for the 3rd successive year to 1.851, Speech Communication's also rose to 1.283. There was a slight dip in the impact of Signal Processing: Image Communication, which saw a minor drop from 1.485 to 1.286.
However, it is understood that Impact Factors do not always paint a full picture of a journal's performance. With this in mind, Elsevier has for some time, encouraged the use of alternative metrics with which to assist authors and readers. Examples of these are the SNIP, SJR and 5 Year Impact Factor. As well as these, we are now advertising publication speeds and geographical spread of authors as part of a journal homepage feature called Journal Insights. The aim of these is to present a holistic picture of the journal's performance to a potential author or reader.
Peer review developments
Editorial speeds are becoming increasingly competitive. Provided timely revision of 1st reviewed manuscripts takes place, authors can now expect a final decision within an average 5 months on Signal Processing and 6 on Signal Processing: Image Communication and an average of 7 Months for Speech Communication. The Editors and their respective boards remain committed to bringing these times down even further.
As well as review times, we are extremely focused on improving other elements of author experience. For example, we have developed new policies for article submission which will look to assist the author with simpler manuscript preparation guidelines. This service will have been rolled out across the 3 journals within the coming 12 months.
Furthermore, we are continually developing the functionality for the journals' homepages, in order to aid the transfer of knowledge for readers and authors, respectively. In Speech Communication, for example, authors can now choose to submit an accompanying audio presentation with their published paper. We are also very interested to provide linking options to relevant open databases, and investigate any additional content innovation suitable and useful for the online articles and journal homepages. EURASIP members are most welcome to provide suggestions to that end.
Finally, on behalf of Elsevier, I wish to extend the sincerest thanks to all the editorial board members and reviewers, both from within EURASIP and outside, who have provided such an excellent service to the journals in 2013 and continue to do so into 2014. Elsevier would like to extend our extra special thanks to the Editors in Chief of the journals (below) and to EURASIP for its continued support for the publications. Onwards and upwards!

Call for PhD Thesis Submission and Best PhD Thesis Award |
EURASIP created and maintains a database of PhD manuscripts at theses.eurasip.org, which is one of the world's largest in the area of signal processing. The database also keeps tracks of monthly downloads and publishes regularly in its page the 10 top downloaded theses.
Every year a committee of experts nominated by the EURASIP BoD selects up to three theses related to different areas of signal processing to be awarded. The selection process is based on the evaluation of the impact of the theses, their subsequent journal and conference publications and related citations received, and on the review reports of three independent reviewers as well as on the download statistics. The download statistics are instrumental only in forming a short-list of the top 20 theses.
In order to select the 20xx best PhD theses, the temporal window of the years 20xx-5 through 20xx-3 is considered. The awards will be presented during the Awards Ceremony at EUSIPCO 20xx. Each award consists of a certificate and of a travelling & accommodation reimbursement of 1K Euros for attending the Awards Ceremony.
If you want to make your PhD thesis available in the EURASIP database and make it eligible for the Best PhD Thesis Award, please visit the site theses.eurasip.org and upload your thesis.
