IWSSIP is an International Conference on Systems, Signals and Image Processing which brings together researchers and developers from both academia and industry to report on the latest scientific and theoretical advances, to discuss and debate major issues and to demonstrate state of-the-art systems.

The EURASIP conference is initiated by the European Association for Speech, Signal and Image Processing (EURASIP) that is focused on Speech and Image Processing, Multimedia Communications and Services (EC-SIPMCS). The goal of EC-SIPMCS is to promote the interface researchers involved in the development and applications of methods and techniques within the framework of speech/image processing, multimedia communications and services.
