Call for Papers: WASPAA 2017

The 2017 IEEE Workshop on Applications of Signal Processing to Audio and
Acoustics (WASPAA 2017) will be held at the Mohonk Mountain House in New
Paltz, New York, and is supported by the Audio and Acoustic Signal
Processing technical committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society.
The objective of this workshop is to provide an informal environment for
the discussion of problems in audio, acoustics and signal processing
techniques leading to novel solutions. Technical sessions will be
scheduled throughout the day. Afternoons will be left free for informal
meetings among workshop participants.

Important Dates:
Submission of four-page paper: April 20, 2017
Notification of acceptance: June 27, 2017
Early registration until: August 15, 2017
Workshop: October 15–18, 2017
Place: Mohonk Mountain House, New Paltz, New York, USA

Submission of Papers: Prospective authors are invited to submit
full-length papers, with up to four pages for technical content
including figures and possible references, and with one additional
optional 5th page containing only references.
Papers must be submitted electronically by April 20, 2017 at 23:59 AOE
time (12 hours behind UTC). No new submissions will be accepted after
that time.
