THIRTY-THIRD ANNUAL ALLERTON CONFERENCE ON COMMUNICATION, CONTROL, AND COMPUTING OCTOBER 4 - 6, 1994 The Thirty-third Annual Allerton Conference on Communication, Control, and Computing will be held October 4 - 6, 1995 at Allerton House, the conference center of the University of Illinois. Allerton House is located twenty-six miles southwest of the Urbana-Champaign campus of the University in a wooded area on the Sangamon River. It is part of the fifteen hundred acre Robert Allerton Park, near Monticello, Illinois. Papers presenting original research are solicited in the areas of communication systems, information theory and coding, detection and estimation, communication networks, mobile radio, vector quantization, source coding, image coding and data compression, control systems, robust and nonlinear control, adaptive control, optimization, dynamic games, large scale systems, robotics and automation, manufacturing systems, discrete event systems, intelligent control, multivariable control, adaptive signal processing, learning theory, neural networks, and numerical methods for signals and systems, multiple-access communications, digital radio, high-speed packet switches for telecommunications, queueing networks, discrete event systems, and automatic highway systems. Persons interested in organizing sessions on other topics are encouraged to discuss the proposed session(s) with the conference co-chairmen. Information for authors: Two kinds of papers are solicited. The first are regular papers for presentation in twenty minutes; these papers will be published in the conference Proceedings. The second are short papers suitable for presentation in ten minutes; only summaries of these papers will be published in the Proceedings. The purpose of the short paper category is to encourage authors to present preliminary results of their work. For regular papers, a title and a five to ten page extended abstract, including references and sufficient detail to permit careful reviewing are required. For short papers, a title and a thousand word summary are required. Manuscripts that are submitted as regular papers but cannot be accommodated in that category will be considered in the short paper category, unless the authors indicate otherwise. Two copies of the manuscript must be received by July 24, 1995. These should be mailed to 33nd Annual Allerton Conference, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Coordinated Science Laboratory, 1308 West Main Street, Urbana, Illinois 61801. Please specify the name and address of the author who is to receive all subsequent correspondence. Authors will be notified of acceptance by August 22, 1995, at which time they will also receive special sheets for the preparation of papers for the Proceedings. The length of regular papers is limited to the equivalent of ten single-spaced 8 1/2-by-11 inch pages. The length of short papers is limited to two such pages.
