===========================================================

IMPORTANT DATES

 - Paper submission deadline: April 18, 2019
 - Notification of acceptance: June 25, 2019
 - Camera ready: July 29, 2019 
 - Early registration until August 18, 2019 
 - Workshop dates: October 20-23, 2019

The 2019 IEEE Workshop on Applications of Signal Processing to Audio and
Acoustics (WASPAA 2019) 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. Papers describing original
research and new concepts are solicited for technical sessions on, but
not limited to, the topics below.

In addition to papers presenting theoretical and practical advances,
WASPAA 2019 is seeking demonstrations of novel technologies in the
field. Demonstrations at WASPAA 2019 are intended to complement the
overall program of the workshop in order to present and discuss
practical achievements, challenges, and performance results of
innovative implementations, integrations, and prototypes.
