  8. Methods/tools/architectures for design and implementation of DSP systems (CD, JM) 1. Which are the current hardware and software tools being used? Do they adequately prepare ECE students for industry? (CD) 2. FPGAs, DSPs, GPUs, multicore CPUs... which one is better, when to use and why? (CD) 3. Can multicore design, development and programming be shortened by 75% or more? If so, how? (CD)

  9. Design/implementation of DSP algorithms in fixed-point arithmetic and data types (CD, MY) 4. How can fixed-point usability be improved for non-DSP professionals? (CD, MY) 5. 65% of DSP related jobs require deep understanding of fixed-point. Why is fixed-point not taught more in DSP courses? (CD, MY) 6. Should fixed-point be obsoleted? (CD, MY)

  10. Links between industry/academic and links to non-EE disciplines (JM, MY) 7. What can industry and academia do to motivate students to choose EE DSP as a profession? (MY, JM) 8. How should LabVIEW and Matlab be taught to DSP students based on industry best practices? (MY) 9. What general concepts and specialized techniques should be taught in a first DSP course for users (not experts) today? (MY, JM) 10. How to address BME, ME, AE on other non-EE disciplines needs? Do they need to become DSP experts? (JM)
