SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED: 21 April 2014

The 2014 19th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP 2014), sponsored by Imperial College, London, and organised in cooperation with the IEEE, IET, EURASIP and Hong Kong Polytechnic University, will be held in August 20-23, 2014 in Hong Kong. It is the longest in existence Conference in the area of DSP and belongs to a series of events, which commenced in London in 1968 and continued to Florence, Nicosia, Limassol, Santorini, Cardiff, Corfu. The last meeting took place in Santorini, Greece in July 2013.

DSP 2014 addresses the theory and application of filtering, coding, transmitting, estimating, detecting, analysing, recognising, synthesising, recording, and reproducing signals by means of digital devices or techniques. The term "signal" includes audio, video, speech, image, communication, geophysical, sonar, radar, medical, musical, and other signals.

The program will include presentations of novel research theories/applications/ results in lecture, poster and plenary sessions. A significant number of Special Sessions organised by internationally recognised experts in the area, will be incorporated.

The language of the Conference is English. Prospective authors are invited to electronically submit the full camera-ready paper. The paper must not exceed six (6) pages, including figures, tables and references, and should be written in English. Authors should indicate one or more of the above listed categories that best describe the topic of the paper, as well as their preference (if any) regarding lecture or poster sessions. Lecture and poster sessions will be treated equally in terms of the review process. Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two experts in the field. All accepted papers will be included in the Conference Proceedings (CD ROM) and will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore. In addition to the technical program, a social program will be offered to the participants and their companions. It will provide an opportunity to meet colleagues and friends against a backdrop of outstanding natural beauty and rich cultural heritage in one of the best known international tourist destinations.
