Signal processing is the enabling technology for the generation, transformation, extraction, and interpretation of information. It comprises the theory, algorithms with associated architectures and implementations, and applications related to processing information contained in many different formats broadly designated as signals. Signal processing uses mathematical, statistical, computational, heuristic, and/or linguistic representations, formalisms, modeling techniques and algorithms for generating, transforming, transmitting, and learning from signals. The Signal Processing Society is an international organization whose purpose is to: advance and disseminate state-of- the-art scientific information and resources; educate the signal processing community; and provide a venue for people to interact and exchange ideas.
