[Guy Brown <g.brown@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear AUDITORY list,

A reminder about a forthcoming special issue of IEEE Transactions on  
Audio, Speech and Language Processing (formerly IEEE Transactions on  
Speech and Audio Processing). The deadline for papers is 1st July. Note  
that topics of interest include computational auditory scene analysis.

Special Issue on Blind Signal Processing for Speech and Audio  
Applications
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A special issue of IEEE Transactions on Audio, Speech and Language  
Processing will be dedicated to recent advances in blind signal  
processing for speech and audio applications. The special issue will  
represent a vehicle whereby researchers can present new studies of  
blind signal processing techniques for speech and audio applications,  
thus paving the way for future developments in the field.

Prospective papers should be unpublished and present solid research  
work offering innovative contributions either from a methodological or  
application point of view. In particular, submissions are encouraged on  
theory and methods related to the following areas.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

* Blind source separation of speech and audio  
signals                                              
* Independent component analysis
* Blind dereverberation of speech and audio  
signals                                                  
* Sparse component analysis
* Blind channel identification of acoustic  
systems                                                     
* Computational auditory scene analysis

SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:

Prospective authors should prepare manuscripts according to the  
Information for Authors as published in any recent issue of the  
Transactions and as available on the web at  
http://www.ieee.org/organizations/society/sp/infotsa.html. Note that  
all rules will apply with regard to submission lengths, mandatory  
overlength page charges, and color charges.

Manuscripts should be submitted electronically through the online IEEE  
manuscript submission system at http://sps-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com/.  
When selecting a manuscript type, authors must click on "Special Issue  
on Blind Signal Processing for Speech and Audio Applications." Authors  
should follow the instructions for the IEEE Transactions on Speech and  
Audio Processing and indicate in the Comments to the Editor-in-Chief  
that the manuscript is submitted for publication in the Special Issue  
on Blind Signal Processing for Speech and Audio Applications. We  
require a completed copyright form to be signed and faxed to  
1-732-562-8905 at the time of submission. Please indicate the  
manuscript number on the top of the page.
