VLSI for digital signal processing

Description

Digital signal processing is a relevant topic in several fields of electronics. Today, embedded systems are often equipped with complex signal processing functionalities, such as image and video processing. Moreover, the need for reliable communications requires implementing effective error correcting codecs. In this context, there is a lot of interest in the design and implementation of flexible and efficient hardware architecture implementing digital signal processing functionalities. This is an interdisciplinary domain, involving not only information theory and mathematics, but also computer science and electronic engineering.
