Abstract

In this seminar we will present the utility of the Java-DSP (J-DSP) software tool in several signal processing related areas. J-DSP (http://

jdsp.asu.edu) has been developed from the ground up for on-line education.
The software is based on an object-oriented graphical user interface (GUI) and enables on-line interactive simulations of DSP systems. Currently J-DSP supports the one credit laboratory portion of the senior-level DSP course at Arizona State University.  Recently the functionality of J-DSP has been extended for possible use in signals and systems, communications, image processing and controls courses.  In addition, several new functions have been developed to support some advanced DSP applications such as speech coding and recognition, and spectral estimation.  Some of these tools are being further enhanced and customized to demonstrate the use of DSP in emerging research areas such as signal processing genomics and sensor networks. Finally since SMU is highly involved in introducing modern technologies to high school students through the infinity project, we will present a series of J-DSP tools that can be used to enable teachers to introduce high school students to some of the basics of DSP and multimedia.
