| Welcome Message New President |
Welcome to the first EURASIP newsletter of 2019. It is my honour to write this message as the new president of EURASIP and I commit myself, over the next three years or so, to serve the association in every way I can towards its mission:
“to improve communication between groups and individuals that work within the multidisciplinary, fast-growing field of Signal Processing in Europe and elsewhere,
and to exchange and disseminate information in the field all over the world.” However, mine would be an impossible task were it not for the dedicated efforts of the Board of Directors.
I particularly thank our retiring board members Jean-Luc Dugelay and Fernando Pereira, who will both be known to many of you for their highly valuable work within the Association.
I also deeply thank Abdelhak Zoubir for his skilful and devoted leadership during his term as president. He will now take the role of Past President.
Fulvio Gini, after two terms as president and one as past president, is now stepping out of the board.
Fulvio’s many contributions to EURASIP have been hugely significant and we are profoundly grateful.
We welcome three new board members: Björn Ottersten as Director for Technical Activities, Augusto Sarti as Director for Conferences,
Jean-Yves Tourneret as Director for Technical Programs and Membership.
I’m delighted to say that the new board members are already fully on-board and actively contributing to the Association.
The Association’s IT requirements have been designed and implemented over many years by Aggelos Pikrakis.
Aggelos has gradually of late been handing over his tasks to Evangelos Foutras.
We are extremely grateful to Aggelos for all his excellent work and advice and we look forward to the increasing involvement of Evangelos.
My understanding of EURASIP is based around, but not limited to, three pillars.
First of all, the most important aspect of the Association is the membership and I shall, with the help of the board of directors,
focus on the ways in which EURASIP serves its members through technical activities including workshops, conferences, publications, summer schools and EURASIP awards.
The role of the Special Area Teams will be of ever-increasing significance in representing the membership and expertly leading our technical activities.
Secondly, the Association’s publications are, for many, a measure of EURASIP’s standing.
Working with our publishers and editorial boards, we will be examining the on-going dilemmas of quality vs. quantity,
and open vs. toll access publishing in this period of fast-moving evolution in scientific publishing. The quality of the family of
EURASIP journals has been steadily increasing over the years. Currently, 2 EURASIP journals have impact factors greater than 3, 2 journals have impact factors between 2 and 3,
and 3 journals have impact factors between 1 and 2.
We are very grateful for the successful work of the editorial boards of the journals and in particular the Editors-in-Chief.
At this time, let me thank Emanuel Habets for his outstanding achievements as EiC of the EURASIP Journal on Audio, Speech, and Music Processing.
Emanuel, who is standing down at the end of his term, will be succeeded by Mads Christensen, a previous recipient of the EURASIP Early Career Award. Welcome to your new role, Mads.
The third pillar is the EUSIPCO conference. Also in line with the mission statement, EUSIPCO is our flagship event and, alongside our publications,
is EURASIP’s other main route for dissemination of scientific research. It takes place every year between the end of August and the start of September and attracts around 750 delegates.
We will continue to work to keep this a vital, engaging, nourishing, fruitful and enjoyable event of high quality and, for this, we thank the many past and future organizers of
EUSIPCO whose voluntary efforts are so crucial to the success of EUSIPCO and EURASIP.
It is timely to mention EUSIPCO 2019 to be held in A Coruña, Spain. The paper submission deadline of February 18th.
I have been lucky enough to visit the location and I am sure it will be a great EUSIPCO organized by an excellent and dedicated team.
We anticipate a multi-disciplinary technical programme comprising keynotes, oral and poster sessions, tutorials and satellite workshops.
It will provide an ideal forum for scientific discussion and dissemination of new findings and results. Oh and, by the way, the food is great too!
This will be the 27th year since my first EUSIPCO and I look forward to the chance of meeting you there.
