the accepted papers due on Feb. 1, 2006. For further information
please contact Sam Halani sam-halani@ti.com
or visit the EDERS
information page.
DSPS
Educators Conference: Tokyo, Sept. 29-30, 2006
The 7th DSPS Educators Conference will be held Sept. 29 and
30 at the Tokyo Institute of Technology. Professor Hitoshi
Kiya of Tokyo Metropolitan University, who is a successor
of Professor Masayuki Kawamata of Tohoku University, chairs
the conference.
Keynote speakers will be Professor James H. McClellan from
Georgia Tech’s School of Electrical and Computer Engineering
and Dr. Shigeo Tsujii, president of the Institute of Information
Security in Yokohama, Japan. Dr. McClellan will discuss initiatives
in DSP education at Georgia Tech as well as one of his current
interests, array signal processing for locating buried objects.
Dr. Tsujii, a leader in code and security, will discuss coding
topics, laying a stress on DSP algorithms. And approximately
20 papers will be presented during the conference’s
education and research sessions.
The conference is free and open to everybody who is interested
in DSP. For more information please visit:

NEW BOOK:
Digital Signal Processing System-Level Design Using LabVIEW
Ideal for hardware and software technical managers,
practicing engineers, as well as DSP students, “Digital
Signal Processing System-Level Design Using LabVIEW”
allows a user-friendly graphical approach to system level
design. The LabVIEW-based book, written by Nasser Kehtarnavaz
and Namjim Kim, both of the University of Texas at Dallas,
provides teaching materials for DSP lab or project courses,
industry short-courses, and self-study for practitioners interested
in using LabVIEW for system-level design with DSPs such as
the TMS320C6000™. By utilizing the book’s system-level
graphical programming, students and engineers will design
DSP systems without the need to become involved or get bogged
down in low-level programming issues. Academia and industry
alike will benefit by using this resource to perform high-level
design of DSP systems.

Get Your Free TMS320C6000™ DSP Teaching CD-ROM, Second
Edition
Written by acclaimed author and lecturer Dr. Naim Dahnoun
of Bristol University, U.K., this CD-ROM is an updated and
expanded version of the first-edition TMS320C6000 Teaching
CD-ROM.
The material describes the TMS320C6000 architecture in detail
and introduces Code Composer Studio™ (CCStudio), the
DSP/BIOS™ kernel and software optimization. It also
provides common DSP applications implemented on the TMS320C6711™,
TMS320C6713™ and TMS320C6416™ DSP Starter Kit
(DSK) platforms.
The CD-ROM contains 20 chapters, four appendices and more
than 400 slides.
The material was written and tested by Dr. Dahnoun, recipient
of TI’s first DSP Educational Award, and then extensively
reviewed by a panel of selected academics around the world.
The finished product is TI’s most comprehensive set
of teaching materials and programs ever created for technical
education.
Also available are TMS320C2000™ and TMS320C5000™
Teaching CD-ROMs. Order

White Paper on New Software Simulation Tools
Now you can use a single simulation tool to develop software
on TI’s OMAP™ processors, TMS320C5000™ DSPs
and TMS320C6000™ DSPs. Simulation software manufacturers
such as The Mathworks®, National Instruments and Eagleware-Elanix
Inc. have developed an interface between their tools and TI’s
DSPs using TI’s JTAG-based RTDX® interface. Educate
yourself about this unique process by reading the white paper,
“RTDX®-Based Simulation Tools Support Development
of Software-Defined Radio.” This paper presents an example
of the use of these tools in the development and verification
of DSP algorithms for a software-defined radio. Get informed.

University
Highlight: Japan’s Tohoku University
Each year hundreds of third-year electrical engineering students
at Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan, study digital filter
algorithms in a hands-on class featuring TI’s TMS320C6711™
DSP Starter Kit. Ranked among the Asia-Pacific region’s
top schools, Tohoku University is committed to research-based
education, transnational research collaboration and international
student exchange. And the nine-year-old DSK-based class is
evidence that faculty see the use of TI DSPs as conforming
nicely with the university’s overall focus.
Tohoku students study highly specialized DSP skills in a variety
of other areas as well, including intelligent signal processing,
communication engineering and advanced acoustic information
systems. TI DSPs such as the TMS320C6713™, TMS320C6416™,
TMS320DM642™, TMS320C5416™ and TMS320C5510™
figure in undergraduate students’ final year of study
and paper preparation in particular, and they’re an
important part of graduate-level work as well. Now Tohoku
is considering establishing a formal DSP curriculum.
“The university sees science as something to be used
for the good of humanity,” according to the university’s
president, Takashi Yoshimoto, M.D. “This has encouraged
us to apply the most advanced scientific knowledge in various
fields -- such as engineering, medicine and law -- to the
needs of society.” And TI is honored to play a part
in that mission.
