Review and outlook for the future

Abstract

In this review a brief summary is given of the current trends and new directions in the development of algorithms, architectures and devices for signal processing. This, of necessity, is a personal view point, nevertheless, with significant new developments over the horizon, the subject area of signal processing is set to grow and grow. As a final statement, the integration of fast algorithms, parallel architectures, and high performance multiprocessors, the field of parallel signal processing and its applications is one which will lead to rich rewards.
