US-Vietnam Seminar: Digital Signal Processing

该奖项支持美国研究人员、博士后、研究生和本科生参加在河内举行的美越数字信号处理联合研讨会。联合组织者是伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校电气和计算机工程系的Minh Do教授和河内越南国立大学信息技术研究所和技术学院的Dung Dinh教授。研讨会还与越南教育基金会(VEF)共同主办，该基金会由美国国会创建，旨在通过科技教育交流加强美越双边关系。数字信号处理是用数字手段对信号进行处理。信号通常由电线、电话线或无线电波传输。信号处理在科学技术的各个学科中发挥着越来越重要的作用。信号处理的研究和开发正在推动美国许多高科技领域的进步，包括电信、多媒体、医学和科学成像以及人机交互。它包括移动电话、调制解调器和多媒体PC等设备。信号处理的基础是数学、物理和计算机科学，这些都是越南传统上很强的研究领域。该项目将包括为美国和越南学生开设的三个短期课程：1)信号处理基础；2)小波和滤波器组；3)多媒体压缩。每一天结束时，美国和越南的科学家都将就当前信号处理领域的前沿研究和悬而未决的问题举行研讨会。此外，还将举行有所有与会者参加的小组讨论，以探讨两国之间将考虑的其他联合研究和教育项目。越南正致力于在越南建立一个千年科学倡议(MSI)信号处理卓越中心。MSI是科学倡议小组和世界银行的一项倡议，旨在建设发展中国家的现代科学和工程能力。预计该中心将为与美国合作伙伴进行卓有成效的合作创造环境。研究人员还计划在未来组织信号处理方面的研讨会，包括更广泛的美国参与以及其他国家的参与。此次研讨会将为美国博士后、研究生和本科生提供一个获得全球研究体验的绝佳机会。预计他们将在整个职业生涯中与越南研究人员和学生保持联系和合作。组织者将在dspss.vef.gov上创建一个网站，提供有关研讨会及其调查结果的信息。此外，课程材料将使用麻省理工学院和康奈克斯的开放式课程工具和材料开发，并将在研讨会结束后很长一段时间内通过本网站向公众提供。

0634011DoThis award supports the participation of American researchers, postdocs, graduate and undergraduate students in a U.S.- Vietnam joint seminar on digital signal processing to be held in Hanoi. The co-organizers are Professor Minh Do of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign and Professor Dung Dinh of the Information Technology Institute and the College of Technology at the Vietnam National University in Hanoi. The seminar is also being co-sponsored with the Vietnam Education Foundation (VEF), which was created by the U.S. Congress with the mission to strengthen the U.S.-Vietnam bilateral relationship through educational exchanges in science and technology. Digital signal processing is the processing of signals by digital means. The signal is usually carried by a wire, telephone line or radio wave. Signal processing has played an increasingly important role in a wide range of disciplines in science and technology. Research and development in signal processing are driving advancements in many high-tech areas in the U.S. including telecommunications, multimedia, medical and scientific imaging, and human-computer interaction. It includes such devices as mobile phones, modems, and multimedia PCs. Signal processing has its foundations in mathematics, physics, and computer science, which are traditionally strong fields of study in Vietnam. The program will include three short classes for the U.S. and Vietnamese students: 1) fundamentals of signal processing; 2) wavelets and filter banks; and 3) multimedia compression. At the end of each day, both U.S. and Vietnamese scientists will present seminars on current cutting-edge research and open problems in signal processing. In addition, panel discussions involving all the participants will take place in order to explore additional joint research and educational projects to be considered between the two countries. Vietnam is working on the development of a Millennium Science Initiative (MSI) Center of Excellence in signal processing in Vietnam. MSI is an initiative of the Science Initiative Group and the World Bank to build capacity in modern sciences and engineering in developing countries. It is anticipated that this Center would create an environment for fruitful collaborations with U.S. partners. The researchers also plan to organize future workshops in signal processing that would include broader U.S. participation as well as participation from other countries. This seminar will provide the US postdocs, graduate and undergraduate students an excellent opportunity to receive a global research experience. It is anticipated that they will maintain contacts and collaborations with the Vietnamese researchers and students throughout their careers. The organizers will create a website that will provide information about the workshop and its findings at dspss.vef.gov. In addition, the class materials will be developed using open courseware tools and materials from MIT and Connexions and will be available through this website for the general public long after the seminar is concluded.
