The 16th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP 2009), the most longstanding conference in the area of DSP, will be held on the Aegean island of Santorini, Greece, in 5-7 July 2009. DSP 2009 belongs to a series of events which had its genesis in London in 1968 and continued to Florence, Nicosia, Lemessos, Santorini, and Cardiff. The next meeting takes place on Santorini (Thera) overlooking the cauldron in the bay of Fira, the capital of the island. This tranquil location was once the scene of a massive eruption which led directly to the extinction of one of Europe’s oldest civilisations, the Minoans.

 The conference will contain a number of special sessions organised by internationally recognised experts. The programme will also include presentations of new results in lecture and poster sessions, together with plenary sessions delivered by eminent scientists.

 The conference is technical co-sponsored by IEEE, IET and EURASIP. Accepted papers will appear in IEEE Xplore.
