The purpose of the workshop is to be a forum for technical exchange among engineers and scientists from the IEEE and elsewhere, with common interests in statistics, signal processing, and the interplay between the two. All members of the international research community with interests in statistics and signal processing are invited to participate. Prospective authors are invited to submit a 2-3 page extended abstract in the areas of: Detection and estimation theory System identification and calibration Multivariate statistical analysis Learning theory and pattern analysis Data hiding and watermarking Markov chain Monte Carlo methods Signal processing for communications Time-frequency analysis Distributed signal processing and sensor networks Nonstationary and cyclostationary signal processing Sensor array processing Speech processing Radar and sonar applications Security technologies Signal authentication Bioinformatics Medical imaging New methods, directions, and applications Instructions for electronic submission of paper summaries will be available soon on the conference website, http://ssp03.wustl.edu. The workshop schedule includes a reception the evening of Sunday, September 28, followed by technical sessions during the day on Monday and Tuesday, September 29-30, and the morning of Wednesday, October 1. The format of the technical portion of the workshop will include 5 plenary speakers and 100-150 contributed presentations, which will be all-poster or a combination of posters and oral presentations. Social activities, including a banquet, will be planned for Monday and/or Tuesday evening. The Chase Park Plaza Hotel is a St. Louis landmark, located in a midtown area of St. Louis known as the Central West End. It is about two miles from the Washington University School of Engineering and Applied Science, and one mile from the Washington University School of Medicine. It is situated on the corner of Forest Park, one of the largest urban parks in the country. The hotel has recently undergone extensive renovations, and is ideally suited for a workshop of this nature. Workshop Committee: General Chairman Daniel R.
