Over the last two decades, there has been tremendous growth in the development and applications of signal processing algorithms. Rapid advances in communication technology, computer and information technology, and VLSI have spurred unprecedented research activities not only in the classical statistical signal processing areas, but also in emerging areas such as multimedia, wireless communications, sensor signal processing and MIMO wireless systems. This has resulted in the development of many novel and innovative signal processing algorithms and methods. Though most of these advanced algorithms and methods are already in use in many applications, they are still out of the basic academic curricula. On this ground, Silicon Institute of Technology in Bhubaneswar is organizing a National Workshop on advanced signal processing and communication (WASPC- 2010) during 08-10 January 2010. The workshop will be held in Bhubaneswar, which is the capital of Orissa and which is also home to more than 60 Engineering colleges and Institutes. The goal of WASPC-2010 is to introduce some of the advanced topics in signal processing and communication to students, teachers, and industry professionals, and to encourage scientific research within these areas.
