The Signal Processing Information Base project: the present and the future
Don H. Johnson, S. Wood · 2002
The Signal Processing Information Base (SPIB) represents an attempt by the Signal Processing Society to make generally available information-data, papers, software, and bibliographies-necessary for state-of-the-art research and development. Access to the repository relies on the Internet, which makes SPIB available to students, researchers, and developers around the world. The variety of information, changing information transfer techniques, and persistent changes in user computational platforms cause difficulties in creating uniform accessibility for the information base's user population. As SPIB evolves, in concert with similar projects in a wide variety of disciplines, into a seamless, cross-linked, indexed, computer network that makes information available rapidly, these difficulties will intensify unless software environments are created that can support high-speed networks and platforms, and publication policies change to facilitate rapid dissemination.>
