DASIP Demos and TEXPO Graduate Student Research Competition

DASIP Demos is the demonstration track of DASIP. It is an excellent opportunity for researchers and users to interactively demonstrate their hardware platforms, prototypes and tools. This live presentation can show early implementation or more mature tools, platforms and prototypes.
Whereas a regular research paper points out the scientific contribution of a new embed signal processing architecture or tool, a demonstration paper provides the opportunity to show how a scientific contribution has been transferred into a working platform or a in a tool.
Authors of regular research papers are thus encouraged to submit an accompanying demonstration paper.

DASIP Demos will be held in conjunction with the TEXPO Graduate Student Research Competition.

Paper Submission

All submissions must be made online using the following link : https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dasip2019

Authors must submit a 150-300 abstract of their papers through the web based submission system by the required date. The abstract submission will allow the program committee to plan and begin the review process more quickly, allowing a faster feedback to the authors. The full paper submission is later made by uploading the paper with the same account.

Submissions must be fully anonymous, but authors should not hide previous work, instead, they need to make self-references in third person.

Papers must be submitted in PDF in IEEE double-column format following the IEEE templates. Regular papers must be no longer than 6 pages and Demo Night paper are restricted to two pages. Submitted papers must describe original unpublished work and must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere.

Each submission will receive at least three independent double blind reviews from the members of our scientific committee. Authors of accepted papers must address those comments in the camera ready version and present it in the conference prior to its publication.

The conference proceedings will be published in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Paper and keynote presentation slides and tutorial documents will be made available to conference attendees after the conference (subject to confidentiality issues). Authors of the best papers may be invited to submit an extended version of their work to an international journal.

Venue

Polytechnique Montreal

Polytechnique is more than a teaching establishment; it is the benchmark in engineering, with high-quality teaching and research activities that continually push the limits of knowledge.

Founded in 1873, Polytechnique Montréal is one of Canada’s leading engineering teaching and research institutions. It is the largest engineering university in Québec for the size of its graduate student body and the scope of its research activities.
