Subject: [AUDITORY] [CfP] WASPAA 2021 - IEEE Workshop on Applications of Signal Processing to Audio and Acoustics From: Jonathan Le Roux <Jonathan.Le-Roux@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 16 Feb 2021 17:15:05 -0500--00000000000051c76705bb7b7192 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" -- Apologies for cross-listing -- -- Please forward to other interested colleagues -- =========================================================== 2021 IEEE Workshop on Applications of Signal Processing to Audio and Acoustics (WASPAA 2021) Mohonk Mountain House, New Paltz, NY, USA Hybrid On-site/Online 17-20 October, 2021 www.waspaa.com =========================================================== IMPORTANT DATES - Paper submission deadline: April 28, 2021 - Notification of acceptance: July 7, 2021 - Camera ready and Demonstrations: July 27, 2021 - Early registration until August 22, 2021 - Workshop dates: October 17-20, 2021 The 2021 IEEE Workshop on Applications of Signal Processing to Audio and Acoustics (WASPAA 2021) will be held simultaneously online and 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 2021 is seeking demonstrations of novel technologies in the field. Demonstrations at WASPAA 2021 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.
