A letter or a conference paper? Conundrum resolved

From now on if one\´s paper is accepted for publication in the IEEE Signal Processing Letters the authors may present the same work at one of our two flagship conferences, ICASSP and ICIP. The work must be accepted by the deadline set by the conference for SPL papers, which will be one or two weeks prior to the "notification of acceptance" deadline, but not be published prior to the end of the last conference, about twelve months before the event. The new model avoids double publication by providing the electronic version in the proceedings distributed to registered conference attendees but including only the Signal Processing Letters paper in IEEEXplore. Thus, you will have only one official publication. This initiative is aimed at encouraging the most innovative contributions in our broad field to be submitted to Signal Processing Letters for consideration.
