- Multimedia Restoration: Vóórkomen of Voorkómen
Multimedia Restoration: Vóórkomen of Voorkómen (a Dutch word joke, meaning, "Make it happen" or "Prevent it"). The symposium considers restoration of images and video from two perspectives. Namely, distortions do occur no matter what, and therefore restoration cannot be prevented in many cases. And, preventing restoration is always the better option and this is actually happening through the abundance of new camera and sensor technologies. The first speaker (Prof. Kokaram, Trinity College, Dublin) will consider the history and achievements of restoration, and will discuss cases where distortion simply exit and restoration is unavoidable. The second speaker concentrates on the practical use of restoration in today's digital world. The final speaker (Prof. de Haan, Eindhoven University of Technology) will discuss technologies to avoid restoration, such as sensors, motion compensation in cameras and handhelds, etc. The symposium interprets restoration pragmatically broad, i.e. also geometric distortions are considered (if the speakers wish so).
Jan Biemond was born in De Kaag, The Netherlands. He received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Delft University of Technology, Delft, The Netherlands, in 1973 and 1982, respectively.

Security with Noisy Data
The Eindhoven region plays an important role in the field of security with noisy data. Philips Research, Eindhoven, initiated pioneering work in this field. This resulted in two spin-off companies, Intrinsic-ID and Priv-ID. Intrinsic-ID offers solutions to securely stored cryptographic keys in smart cards and consumer devices such as digital TV-decoders that can be subject to reverse-engineering attacks. Priv-ID uses similar concepts to provide privacy protection in biometric authentication, even if the verifier cannot be trusted fully. The Holst Center has developed a CMOS IC prototype for generating keys for smart cards and consumer devices. At Eindhoven University of Technology, the Department of Electrical Engineering made significant progress in the information-theoretic analysis of privacy leakage in biometric systems, while at the Department of Mathematics the Eindhoven Institute for the Protection of Systems and Information focuses on information security in a broad sense.
The Symposium intends to bring together researchers from industry, start-ups, institutes, and academia in Eindhoven, for sharing and discussing recent developments in the field of security with noisy data.

- Midwinter Meeting of the 'Werkgemeenschap voor Informatie- en Communicatietheorie' (WIC) on Automotive Connectivity
Reception of radio programs via AM/FM radio in automobiles is nowadays considered as a natural feature. For a long time, the radio service was considered to be useful and sufficient. Slowly, some interest grew in the use of traffic information by means of RDS. Mobile telephones, portable media players and the rapid introduction of low-priced navigation systems caused an important change in the behavior of the car. In the past, the car only passively listened to broadcast signals, but more and more the car is expected to actively participate in communication with its environment. The need for sustainable mobility and the demand for increased safety and comfort are important driving forces for the development of automotive connectivity. The car is becoming part of a network in which the topology dynamically changes, resulting in both challenges and opportunities. For example, navigation related services can become more efficient if the car not only acts as a sink of information, but also as a source of information. The exchange of information has to be realized with reliable wireless access technologies and when Internet services are entering the car, there will also be a need for broadband connections. The application of automotive connectivity just started and the prospects that it will contribute to sustainable mobility and increased safety and comfort are promising.

- SPS 2008: Symposium on Software Defined and Cognitive Radios
Thanks to the rapidly evolving capabilities of digital electronics, software defined radios (SDR) become a reality. Hardware is replaced to a large extent by software offering therefore a high level of reconfigurability and adaptivity to the system. Cognitive radios (CR) are seen as a natural enhancement of SDR, wherein the radio senses and is aware of its operational environment, and is capable of following complex strategies to dynamically and autonomously adapt its operating parameters.
The symposium will provide a platform for information exchange and discussion on topics related to CR. It is composed of two tutorials and eight presentations.
