open access movement
guiding principle: knowledge should be free and open to use and re-use
draws inspiration from open-source software Linux, Apache, Mozilla, Firefox
enabled by recent developments in info tech

benefits to IEEE-SPS
• free and convenient educational materials development and delivery platform for the SP community at large
• new opportunity for IEEE-SPS visibility and brand recognition
• outreach opportunity beyond the traditional borders of signal processing (extending to practitioners, educators, and students at all levels from K-12 through PhD)
• new outlet for authors’ unpublished educational materials
• new community building tool
• SPS taking lead in potentially IEEE-wide initiative

proposed project (1)
IEEE-SPS open-access content development
• from individual modules to complete courses/textbooks
• existing SPS Connexions content from don johnson, doug jones, rob nowak, nick kingsbury, justin romberg, j-c pesquet, lee potter, phil schniter, clay scott, ivan selesnick, sidney burrus, richard baraniuk, ed doering, davide rocchesso, anders gjendemsjø, minh do, …
• informal commitments to develop content from martin vetterli and jelena kovacevic (“wavelets and subband coding” book), charlie bouman, jan allebach, ed delp, mark smith, stephen mcLaughlin (CUP), al hero (CUP), julius smith, jean yves tourneret, patrick flandrin, mari ostendorf, alex acero, …

proposed project (2)
IEEE-SPS review/certification (lens)
– IEEE-SPS to review and certify Connexions’ open-access SP materials
– possible solution: small oversight/editorial board responsible for identifying reviewers
and making editorial decisions

proposed project (1)
IEEE-SPS open-access content development
• from individual modules to complete courses/textbooks• initial focus on 3-4 content areas (TBD) – e.g. theory and
methods, biometrics, imaging, image processing, video, speech• each area to have a “champion”• volunteer translation into Spanish and Chinese
• existing SP Connexions content from don johnson, doug jones, rob nowak, nick kingsbury, justin romberg, j-c pesquet, lee potter, phil schniter, clay scott, ivan selesnick, sidney burrus, richard baraniuk, ed doering, davide rocchesso, anders gjendemsjø, minh do…

action plan• develop IEEE-SPS/CNX agreement re asset allocation
(equipment, staffing, etc.)– (potentially) hire IEEE-SPS project manager– ray wagner to act as CNX liaison
• populate small oversight/editorial board– hammer out criteria and process for lens certification
• content development– identify champions and invite authors in initial focus areas– develop best practices documentation– LaTeX/Word to XML conversion process/tools
• visibility– booth and free tutorials at ICASSP 2008 and ICIP 2009– calls for participation and progress reports in Signal
Processing Magazine, Spectrum
• anticipated rollout: january 2008 for initial contributions
