Twenty papers exploring topics of digital signal processing, originally given in slightly different form at a January 2002 international symposium, are presented by Wysocki (U. of Wollongong, Australia), Darnell (U. of Leeds, UK), and Honary (Lancaster U.). Among the major topics discussed are multimedia content delivery over the Internet, speech processing and recognition, various forms of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, and applications of error control coding and information theory.
