Cognitive Communication and Information Processing for Smart Wireless Communication

 

With the rapid increasing of wireless communication devices, radio spectrum has become the most valuable resource. The lack of additional spectrum is restricting the high performance wireless communication services. Smart wireless communication, such as cognitive radio, D2D, etc., is the probable solution to the current low utilization of the spectrum resource, which can use the understanding-by-building methodology to learn from the environment and adapts to the environmental statistical variations with highly reliable communication and efficient utilization of the radio spectrum. With cognitive communicationand information processing, the communication system can monitor the complex electromagnetic environment, detect the available spectrum and transmit data in idle spectrum adaptively through applying some artificial intelligence technologies.Topics of Interest include but are not limited to:

Information Fusion for Intelligent Signal Processing and Applications

 

Information fusion has been identified as a key technique in the areas of target detection,localization and tracking, behavior perception,radar, as well assignal processing.Most times, the selection of a certain system depends on the final application that imposes different constraints, such as accuracy, granularity, coverage area, ease of deployment, calibration and reconfiguration, cost, and etc.The development of information fusion is expected to develop novel indoor localization systems, object tracking, navigation of robots or people, behavior perception, intelligent application based on radar, as well as the positioning strategies and algorithms which can fuse sensors and networks. However, many issues in information fusion including high accuracy, low complexity, robustness, availability, accessibility, configurability, scalability, privacy and security, and etc.,have posed various challenges to the academic and industry. The purpose of this special session is to bring together the academic and industry working on different aspects, exchange ideas, and explore new research directions for addressing the challenges in information fusion. This special session also aims to publish high quality papers which are closely related to various theories and practical applications ininformation fusion to highlight the state-of-art research.

2017 CSPS Special Session on “Swarm Intelligence in Continuous Optimization Problems”

International Conference on Communications Signal Processing and Systems 2017

July 14-16 2017, Harbin, China

Swarm Intelligence (SI) represents a broad set of prototypes simulating the social or foraging behaviors of a swarm of species for the purpose of problem-solving. Typical SI for continuous optimization includes particle swarm optimization (PSO), artificial bee colony, neighbor field optimization, firefly algorithm, fish school search, etc. So far, SI has been studied for twenty years and many interesting applications been made. More recently, novel manifestations of SI or memetic of SI with other approaches such as parallel implementation of SI algorithms, memetic PSO, etc. These novel algorithms and frameworks have demonstrated with considerable success in various continuous optimization problems.

 

The aim of this special session is to provide a forum for scholars in this field to exchange the state of the art in techniques, algorithms, problem modeling and practice of SI.

Signal and Information Processing for Weather Radars

 

Weather radar is an important tool to detect weather conditions. Doppler weather Radar has been applied for monitoring of sudden weather and disastrous weather. With the development of science and technology, higher requirements are put forward to the detection ability and precision of weather radar. This leads to the need of enhancement of signal processing performance. In fact, the concept of weather Radar has been generalized nowadays. For example, Lidar has been widely applied to the cloud observation. Another progress is the more and more applications of the millimeter-wave radar in weather observation. So weather Radar signal and information processing is a research hotspot. Topics of Interest include but are not limited to:

Signal Transformation and Processing for Non-contact Sensor

 

With the development of sensing technology, non-contact sensor has been more and more widely used. Non-contact sensor has the advantages of no measuring force and no load effect since it uses physical fields to obtain information. In order to realize a new non-contact sensing method, physical field signals such as stress field, magnetic field, or temperature field need to be transformed to each other. Signal processing is another important technology of non-contact sensor. Topics of Interest include but are not limited to:
