It is expected to include sessions on the following themes. Avionics Computer Algorithms, Databases, Parallel and Distributed Systems, Networks Control Theory, System Identification and Adaptive Control, Nonlinear Controls Engineered Systems for Nuclear Waste Management Environmental Systems and Energy Systems Expert Systems and Artificial Intelligence Geographic Information Systems Global Position Systems Information Theory and Communication Systems Neural Network and Applications Robotics and Industrial Automation Signal Processing Systems Engineering Education Call For Papers Authors wishing to contribute to the conference should send an abstract (6 copies) of their proposed contribution (approximately 1000 words) before January 1, 1996. The abstract should be typed (double spaced) and written in English. Refereeing of abstracts submitted before the deadline date will take place on a regular basis.
