CALL FOR PAPERS
APSIPA ASC 2016 wi ll be the eig hth annual conference organ ized by the AsiaPacific Signa l and Information Processi ng Assoc iation (APS IPA). Founded in
2009, APSIPA aims to promote researc h and ed ucation in signal processing,information techno logy and communications. Annua l confere nces havepreviously been held in Japan (2009), Singapore (2010), China (2011 ), the USA(2012), Taiwan (20 13), Cambod ia (20 14), and Hong Kong (2015) The field ofinterest of APS IPA co ncerns all aspects of signa l and information including
processing, recognition, class ification, communicat ions, networking, computing,system design, security, implementation, and technology with appl ications toscientific, engineering and soc ial areas.
