Special Sessions

  The successful concept of the earlier events is followed again. Namely, a significant number of Special Sessions organised by internationally recognised experts in the areas, are to be held. The role of the Session Organiser is of vital significance in the sense that she or he will be entirely responsible for the invitation of the speakers, for the quality of the contributions and the general theme that the session will take. Each of these Special Sessions will be a little like a mini-Symposium and the Session Organiser will be the Symposiarch.

  The Special Sessions Chairs are:
      Benoit Macq (Benoit.Macq@uclouvain.be)
      Ebroul Izquierdo (ebroul.izquierdo@elec.qmul.ac.uk)
      Saeid Sanei (saneis@Cardiff.ac.uk)

  Please contact the Special Sessions Chairs for any relevant information you may need.

  The following Special Sessions are scheduled for DSP 2009:
