August 2008:

J-DSP NSF Award 0817596: A collaborative project for  Phase 3 development and dissemination of the ASU Java-DSP software was funded in August 2008. This is a collaborative project with ASU as the lead university. Read more...

December 2007:

Protein Structure Estimation: A method of protein secondary structural classification is proposed. This method uses the mean of the linear prediction derived cepstral feature vectors of protein sequences numerically mapped using two different existing amino acid indexing techniques, namely EIIP and Oobatake-Ooi indexing.

November 2007:

J-DSP/Earth Systems Edition: The ASU award winning Java-DSP software package was adopted in a collaborative NSF project on Earth Systems.  ASU partnered with Johns Hopkins and Purdue on a project whos PIs are Linda Hinnov from Johns Hopkins, Andreas Spanias from ASU, and James Ogg from Purdue.  This earth sciences project was funded by the NSF for $575k for three years starting October 2007.

May 2007:

Speech Coding Tools using LabVIEW: An educational software tool is developed for teaching speech signal coding theory and algorithms with the National Instruments LabVIEW™ package.  We choose to use LabVIEW because of its intuitive visual interface, ability to process real-time signals and capability to interface with DSP hardware.    The tool is based on the National Instruments LabVIEW™ environment.  Read more...

 

March 2007:

J-DSP LabVIEW Interface: The scripting capabilities embedded in the software enable generation of HTML code and MATLABTM scripts. A new interface has been developed to allow students and users to move between Java-DSP and the National Instruments LabVIEWTM tool.  This interface is made possible using J-DSP Mathscript capabilities and provides an effective way to utilize several functions across the two visual programming environments.  Read more...

 

December 2006:

J-DSP Collaborative Simulations or Blackboard concept: A new J-DSP version with software infrastructure for collaborative simulations has been developed and is under testing. It supports the idea of two users simultaneously operating on the same J-DSP Environment. An in-built chat facility provides communication capabilities between the two users. The infrastructure developed is based on Java Sockets, and previously developed J-DSP Export Script capability etc.

Interfacing J-DSP with Texas Instruments- DSK Boards:  Interfaces of DSP hardware with the NSF funded Java-DSP (J-DSP) education software for use in undergraduate signals and systems and DSP classes have been recently made. The interface enables undergraduate students to design and implement algorithms real time on DSP hardware using the user-friendly graphical interface of J-DSP. Simulations involving digital filters and FFTs are first established in the object oriented J-DSP environment. Through the use of a clever software interface, a real-time implementation of the algorithm is activated on the TI DSP Starter Kit C6713. The real-time implementation enables the students to examine the properties of various signal processing algorithms using real-life signals. A simple audio compression scheme that uses the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is developed. The hardware–software interaction of J-DSP with the TI DSK is also explained to students; an introduction to the architecture and its peripherals is also part of the learning experience. Pre- and Post- assessment instruments have been developed and administered.

Interfacing J-DSP with Sensor Motes: Distributed wireless sensor networks (WSN) are being proposed for implementing smarter environments for security and other applications. In this project, we present a collection of Java interfaces for the Berkley sensor motes for use in tracking and localization research projects. By integrating the mote interfaces with Java-DSP we can make use of the J-DSP signal processing functions for real-time analysis of the signals acquired from the wireless sensors. Connectivity with the signal processing environment of Java-DSP is seamless and allows the user to program and run sensor signal processing algorithms from remote locations. Extensions of this project are planned for remote control of the motes by handheld devices.

Some Old News:

November 2005: New Paper publications

 

A. Spanias and V. Atti, "Interactive on-line undergraduate laboratories using J-DSP," in IEEE Trans. on Education Special Issue on Web-based Instruction, vol. 48, no. 4, pp. 735-749, Nov. 2005.

January 2003: New functions have been developed for use in high schools and freshman engineering courses. These functions include a block that resembles a piano and generates MIDI tones, a DTMF block that resembles a phone and various echo blocks for use in audio effects. Read the audio effects manual for a complete list of J-DSP functions designed specifically for DSP beginners.

February 2003: The latest J-DSP version (v2b1) is currently used in ASU's EEE407 undergraduate DSP class.

March 2003: A new set of functions designed for speech recognition are currently under development.
