SampTA Overview

SampTA is a biennial interdisciplinary international conference for mathematicians, engineers, and applied scientists. The main purpose of SampTA is to exchange recent advances in sampling theory and to explore new trends and directions in the related areas of application. The conference focuses on such fields as signal and image processing, compressed sensing, coding theory, control theory, computational neuroscience, information theory, real and complex analysis, and applied, computational, and classical harmonic analysis. The SampTA meetings attract an essentially even mix of mathematicians and engineers as the interest in sampling theory and its many applications has blossomed. This even mix makes the SampTA meetings unique in the scientific community. The conference organization is headed by an international steering committee consisting of prominent mathematicians and engineers, a local organizing committee, and a technical committee responsible for the conference program.

The best things to do in Estonia’s capital, Tallinn

CNN News by Maria Pasquale, CNN, November 22, 2016

She wrote about Tallinn:

„…And while it’s often grouped with Scandinavian and Nordic near-neighbors, the Baltic Sea coast’s oldest capital has a distinct identity, very different from the rest of Europe.“

First Announcement: SampTA 2017, July 3–7, 2017, Tallinn, Estonia

Dear Colleagues, we are pleased to invite you to participate in the 12th biennial International Conference Sampling Theory and Applications” SampTA 2017, held on  July 3–7, 2017
in  Tallinn, Estonia.

SampTA (Sampling Theory and Applications) conferences bring together mathematicians and engineers interested in sampling theory and its applications to related fields (such as signal and image processing, compressed sensing, coding theory, control theory, computational neuroscience, information theory, complex analysis, harmonic analysis, differential equations) to exchange recent advances and to discuss open problems.
