Chaos in Communication Systems Recently, in last two decades there has been a lot of interest in implementing chaotic system for achieving secure communication. The chaotic systems are aperiodic in nature yet deterministic and are highly sensitive to initial condition. This means that two systems starting from slightly different initial conditions will rapidly decorrelate from each other. This will make any intercepting message that has been modulated using chaotic signal pretty difficult. Investigation in this method of transmission only started in the 1990’s where it was possible to transmit a message using this technique. At first sight, it seems almost impossible to synchronise two chaotic systems since chaotic system are extremely sensitive to changes in the initial conditions. This special session aims to bring together research papers in the interesting area covering design, analysis, simulation, implementation, synchronization, and other relevant topics. |

Optimization Techniques for Signal Processing and Communication Systems Abstract: Many problems in signal processing and communication systems, such as optimal filter design problems, optimal filter bank design problems, optimal wavelet kernel design problems, optimal spectral allocation, power optimization and network optimization in various communication systems, can be formulated as special types of optimization problems, such as semi-definite programming problems, semi-infinite programming problems, integer programming problems and nonconvex optimization problems. By developing efficient algorithms for solving the global optimal solution of these optimization problems, performances of the corresponding signal processing and communication systems could be significantly improved.

Signal and Image Processing for Medical Monitoring and Diagnosis: new Developments and Applications The use of signal and image processing to monitor and diagnose medical conditions is a very well established area. However, there remains extensive scope for improvements in numerous areas. These include developments in electronic devices and systems to capture medical signals and images, signal and image feature extraction, image registration and fusion, image segmentation, 3-dimentional surface reconstruction, signal and image transformation techniques (including wavelets), signal and image denoising (in particular ultrasound), signal and image analysis and interpretation, signal source separation, and intelligent and adaptive techniques. You are encouraged to submit an article highlighting your contribution in any of the above or related topics to improve medical monitoring and diagnosis. |

Contactless Technologies Contactless Technologies already show a strong influence on our daily life and will have even more impact in future. It is essential to understand that contactless topics like RFID, SmartCards and NFC are multidisciplinary and application specific. Aspects like Antenna design, channel modelling, energy and information transmission, signal processing or characterization methods are related and need to be considered in the context of a contactless system. Authors are encouraged to submit their contributions related to, but not restricted to these topics.

Legal, Social and Technical Issues in Future Network Infrastructure Description: Nemertes Research has suggested that by 2012 bandwidth demand would outstrip capacity, and that “bandwidth limitations will throttle back innovation, as users become increasingly frustrated with their ability to run sophisticated applications over primitive access infrastructure”. Some researchers have suggested that the increasing bandwidth demand could be following Moore’s Law. If correct, what are the implications for a nation's network infrastructure? In this session authors are encouraged to submit papers that speculate on the legal, social and technical issues that may result from the above scenario. |

General Information on SS
The CSNDSP Steering Committee invites proposals for the SS for the
Symposium. The SS should aim to provide a forum where participants will have
the opportunity to present papers and have the opportunity to discuss research
findings (new and emerging) in an atmosphere that fosters the active exchange
of ideas.
