Topics: Topics cover any solutions suggesting optimization, denoising, error minimization, etc. for signal, image, and speech processing, as well as system estimation and control.

Applications of optimal methods are also welcomed for:
-filter design,
-signal detection, reconstruction, spectral and parameter estimation,
-speech production, perception, enhancement, and noise reduction,
-active noise control and reduction, echo cancellation,
-multidimensional system estimation and tracking,
-robotics, machine vision, pattern recognition,
-geophysical and seismic processing,
-image filtering, restoration and enhancement,
-multisensor data fusion,
-real time system estimation,
-radar, sonar, underwater signal processing,
-biomedical and ultrasound processing,
-remote sensing, astronomy, and satellite signals processing,
-measurement and Instrumentation,
-etc.

Brief Biography of the Organizer:
Dr. Yuriy S. Shmaliy is Full Professor in Electrical Engineering of the University of Guanajuato, Mexico, since 1999. He received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in 1974, 1976 and 1982, respectively, from the Kharkiv Aviation Institute, Ukraine. In 1992 he received the Dr.Sc. degree from the Kharkiv Railroad Institute. In March 1985, he joined the Kharkiv Military University. He serves as Full Professor beginning in 1986 and has a certificate of Professor from the Ukrainian Government in 1993. In 1993, he founded and, by 2001, had been a director-collaborator of the Scientific Center "Sichron" (Kharkiv, Ukraine) working in the field of precise time and frequency. His books Continuous-Time Signals (2006) and Continuous-Time Systems (2007) were published by Springer, New York. His book GPS-based Optimal FIR Filtering of Clock Models (2009) was published by Nova Science Publ., New York. He also contributed to several books with invited chapters. Dr. Shmaliy has 262 Journal and Conference papers and 80 patents. He is IEEE Fellow; was rewarded a title, Honorary Radio Engineer of the USSR, in 1991; was listed in Marquis Who's Who in the World in 1998; was listed in Outstanding People of the 20th Century, Cambridge, England in 1999; and was listed in The Contemporary Who's Who, American Bibliographical Institute, 2003. He is currently an Associate Editor of Recent Patents on Space Technology. He is a member of the Organizing and Program Committees of various Int. Symposia. His current interests include statistical signal processing, optimal estimation, and stochastic system theory.
