SEMINAR:

PROPOSAL FOR AN AUSTRALIAN CENTRE FOR OCEANIC SIGNAL PROCESSING (ACOSP)

By

Dr Daniel BERINSON BE PhD MIEAust MIEEE AFAIM GAICD

And

Mr Christopher SKINNER BSc(Eng) MEngSc MIET MIEAust MACS CPEng, Captain RAN (rtd)

Where:

UWA Business School, Social Sciences South Building room 2233

When:

Friday 17 October at 10am

Summary:

Propagation of acoustic and other signals in the oceanic water body is subject to significant absorption and non-uniform transmission with directional and dispersive effects.

Nevertheless the selective employment of acoustic and electromagnetic signals for communications and measurement has been developed to a high degree in many application domains.

What has now become possible is the aggregation of many signal sources and channels to form arrays, grids and networks to achieve system outcomes that were not previously possible.

This talk will describe the genesis of a proposal to explore these new opportunities for signal processing in the oceanic environment for scientific, industrial and national security purposes.

The talk will also provide a modest insight into the processes being considered for the start of the centre and offers a case study of how such a start-up body can proceed.
