IEEE SIGNAL PROCESSING MAGAZINE [11] MARCH 2015

IEEE SPS transactions or IEEE Journal of

Selected Topics in Signal Processing, in

an issue predating the Spring Awards

Board meeting by at least ten years (typi-

cally held in conjunction with ICASSP).

The recipients of the first Sustained Im-

pact Paper Award are:

■ Stephane G. Mallat and Zhifeng

Zhang, “Matching Pursuits with Time-

Frequency Dictionaries,” IEEE Trans-

actions on Signal Processing, vol. 41,

no. 12, Dec. 1993.

Six Best Paper Awards will be awarded,

honoring the author(s) of a paper of ex-

ceptional merit dealing with a subject re-

lated to the Society’s technical scope and

appearing in one of the Society’s transac-

tions, irrespective of the author’s age. The

prize is US$500 per author (up to a maxi-

mum of US$1,500 per award) and a certifi-

cate. Eligibility is based on a five-year win-

dow preceding the year of election, and

judging is based on general quality, origi-

nality, subject matter, and timeliness. Up

to six Best Paper Awards may be presented

each year. This year, the awardees are:

■ Namrata Vaswani and Wei Lu,

“Modified-CS: Modifying Compressive

Sensing for Problems with Partially

Known Support,” IEEE Transactions

on Signal Processing, vol. 58, no. 9,

Sept. 2010.

■ Hiroshi Sawada, Shoko Araki, and

Shoji Makino, “Underdetermined

No-Reference Objective Image Sharp-

ness Metric Based on the Notion of

Just Noticeable Blur (JNB),” IEEE

Transactions on Image Processing,

The Young Author Best Paper Award

honors the author(s) of an especially meri-

torious paper dealing with a subject relat-

ed to the Society’s technical scope and ap-

pearing in one of the Society’s transactions

and who, upon date of submission of the

paper, is fewer than 30 years of age. The

prize is US$500 per author (up to a maxi-

mum of US$1,500 per award) and a certifi-

cate. Eligibility is based on a three-year

window preceding the year of election, and

judging is based on general quality, origi-

nality, subject matter, and timeliness. Five

of Freedom Achievable Through In-

terference Alignment in a MIMO In-

terference Channel,” IEEE Transac-

tions on Signal Processing, vol. 60,

no. 2, Feb. 2012.

The IEEE Signal Processing Letters

Best Paper Award honors the author(s) of

a letter article of exceptional merit and

broad interest on a subject related to the

Society’s technical scope and appearing in

IEEE Signal Processing Letters. The prize

shall consist of US$500 per author (up to a

maximum of US$1,500 per award) and a

certificate. To be eligible for consideration,

an article must have appeared in IEEE

Signal Processing Letters in an issue pre-

dating the Spring Awards Board meeting

by five years (typically held in conjunction

with ICASSP). Judging shall be on the ba-

sis of the technical novelty, the research

significance of the work, quality, and effec-

tiveness in presenting subjects in an area

of high impact to the Society’s members.

The recipients of the IEEE Signal Process-

ing Letters Best Paper Award are

■ Emanuël A.P. Habets, Sharon Gan-

not, and Israel Cohen, “Late Rever-

berant Spectral Variance Estimation

Based on a Statistical Model,” IEEE

Signal Processing Letters, vol. 16,

no. 9, Sept. 2009.

2014 CHAPTER OF THE YEAR AWARD

The IEEE SPS Malaysia Chapter has been

selected as the fourth recipient of the 2014

Chapter of the Year Award. The award is

presented annually to a Chapter that has

provided its membership with the highest

quality of programs, activities, and ser-

vices. The SPS Malaysia Chapter will

receive a certificate and a monetary award

of US$1,000 to support local Chapter

activities. The Chapter will publish an arti-

cle in a future issue of IEEE Inside Signal

Processing e-Newsletter.
