The 9-th IEEE International Workshop on Computational Advances in Multi-Sensor Adaptive Processing (CAMSAP) 2023 was held from December 10 – 13, 2023 at the Los Sueños Marriott Ocean & Golf Resort in Herradura, Costa Rica. IEEE CAMSAP is a biannual series of workshops of the IEEE Signal Processing Society on computational advances for multi-sensor systems. The workshop organization of IEEE CAMSAP 2023 (the first one after the pandemic) was chaired by Prof. Martin Haardt (TU Ilmenau, Germany) and Prof. André de Almeida (Federal Univ. of Ceará, Brazil). The organizing committee was assisted by two doctoral candidates (Alla Manina and Joseph K. Chege) from TU Ilmenau, who contributed significantly to the seamless execution of the workshop.
IEEE CAMSAP 2023 featured a comprehensive program, including six insightful plenary talks and three tutorials, diving into the intricacies of multi-sensor adaptive processing. The oral and poster sessions facilitated the dissemination of cutting-edge research, fostering collaboration and discussion among participants. Some of the trending research topics included reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS), social machine learning, data fusion using independent vector analysis, signal processing for beyond-5G and 6G wireless communications, interpretable AI, biomedical signal processing, and tensor methods for data science and learning.
A commendable aspect was the incorporation of a Best Student's Paper Award, recognizing outstanding contributions from young scholars. Moreover, in view of the current political situation, the IEEE CAMSAP 2023 organizing committee and their assistants ensured that the Israeli participants could successfully present their research online.
The event witnessed the presentation of three noteworthy papers by TU Ilmenau doctoral candidates, emphasizing the institution's research excellence in tensor-based signal processing. The diverse participation of 150 attendees, from Europe, North America, Asia/Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East comprising both international scholars and also local students from Costa Rica, created a vibrant platform for the exchange of ideas and knowledge.
During the workshop, all of the accepted papers were successfully presented, i.e., there were no “no-shows“, which also demonstrates the high reputation of IEEE CAMSAP in the international research community. Moreover, in addition to the discussions of research ideas, the participants could enjoy the broad social program and explore the nature of Costa Rica. By the end of the workshop, participants were mentioning their positive feedback towards the venue and smooth organization.
In essence, IEEE CAMSAP 2023 emerged as a hub of intellectual exchange, where the diverse participation, the recognition of outstanding contributions, and the creation of new ideas collectively defined a successful and enriching event in the realm of multi-sensor adaptive processing.
