2020/10/20 - 2020/10/22 | The IEEE International Workshop on Signal Processing Systems is a major international forum for researchers and practitioners,
from industry to academia, to discuss and exchange the latest scientific and technical progress and innovations in the design
and implementation of digital signal processing systems. It addresses current and future challenges and new directions in
the research and development of these systems.
SiPS'20 will be held in Coimbra, Portugal, from 20 to 22nd Oct. 2020.
