CS: Advances in Multirate Filter Bank Structures and Multiscale Representations, Concentration of Measure

Laurent Duval sent me the following announcement:

As we celebrate the centenary of the Haar wavelet, we wish you a happy 2010 and kindly invite you to contribute to the following special issue of Elsevier Signal Processing (deadline: 15/02/2010):

Advances in Multirate Filter Bank Structures and Multiscale Representations

The purpose of this special issue is to report on recent progresses performed and emerging trends in the domain of multirate filter banks and multiscale representations of signals and images. Answers to the challenge of handling an increasing demand of information extraction and processing from large data sets will be explored.

In other news, Terry Tao has a series of post on the concentration of measure and the central limit theorem and there are two blog posts, one about Emmanuel Candes at SODA and the other one about David Gross at QIP.
