Call For Papers For 2016 IEEE Broadcast Symposium

The IEEE Broadcast Technology Society (BTS) has announced the call for papers for the 2016 IEEE Broadcast Symposium.

The event is scheduled for 12 - 14 October at the Hartford Marriott Downtown hotel in Hartford, Connecticut. The deadline for submitting abstracts is 30 April.

"Last year's IEEE Broadcast Symposium was the most successful ever, with a record number of attendees and sponsors. As our society's premier conference, the Symposium is a preeminent technical gathering that gives broadcasting pros the opportunity to exchange new information and expand their professional networks," said William T. Hayes, director of engineering and technology, Iowa Public Television, and president of the IEEE BTS. "The conference is successful because of the high caliber of presentations that are given by expert industry peers. We're looking forward to seeing a broad cross-section of abstracts proposing topics of wide interest to our membership."

Authors are encouraged to submit extended abstracts, up to 1,000 words, proposing timely and relevant technical papers relating to broadcasting technology. Proposals for organising session panels are also strongly encouraged. Typical topics of interest include digital radio and television systems; metadata systems and management; AES interoperability; advanced RF modulation technologies; interactive technologies; advanced audio technology and processing; mobile DTV systems for both transmission and reception; cellular broadcast technologies; streaming delivery of broadcast content; "second screen" technology and services; and transmission, propagation, reception, and redistribution of broadcast signals.
