8th International Symposium on DSP and Communication Systems, DSPCS'2005
&
4th Workshop on the Internet,  Telecommunications and Signal Processing,
WITSP'2005

Noosa Heads (Sunshine Coast, Australia), 19-21 December 2005

                              Call for Papers

   Communication Systems worldwide have provided a rapidly growing and useful
   range  of  services  and are continuing to evolve using Digital Signal
   Processing.  The  8th International Symposium on DSP and Communication
   Systems,  DSPCS’2005,  has  been  planned  by a group of academics and
   professionals to examine the plans for the future and the progress that has
   already  been  made  in  the  field  of  DSP and their applications to
   communication systems, image processing and other aspects of the modern
   life. The organizing committee of the symposium decided to hold the 8th
   Symposium on DSP and Communication Systems on the Sunshine Coast on 19-21
   December 2005. A major objective of the symposium will be to pursue the
   progression  from  communication and information theory through to the
   implementation,  evaluation  and  performance improvement of practical
   communication systems using DSP technology. 
   This year the Symposium will be again combined with the Workshop on the
   Internet, Telecommunications and Signal Processing WITSP’05. Therefore, the
   topics of interest range from those of the physical layer to the application
   layer through all aspects of the protocols and processes required for the
   future Internet to operate better and the applications to utilize the full
   potential offered by the current and the emerging networking infrastructure.
   In addition, we expect that, as during the previous events, there will be
   several  papers  dealing  with  image,  video and audio processing for
   multimedia, and forensic applications, as well as with the security of
   private and corporate data.
   The selected papers from the combined DSPCS'03 & WITSP'03 in Coolangatta
   have  been  published by Springer in two books: "Signal Processing for
   Telecommunications  and  Multimedia"  and "Advanced Wired and Wireless
   Networks".   It  is expected that, this year, the best 20 – 30 papers,
   judged by the Organizing Committee, will be again published in a form of an
   edited volume, apart from the conference proceedings.
