                      CALL FOR PAPERS

The 3rd International Workshop on Image and Signal Processing,
IWSIP-96 organised by the Control Systems Centre, UMIST in assosiation
with IEEE Region 8 and co-sponsored by the IEE, IMC and the IEEE Signal
Processing Society, is an International Workshop on theoretical,
experimental and applied signal and image processing. This is a
specialized workshop, which intends to attract high quality research
papers and bring together researchers working in the areas of
signal/image processing from both sides of the Atlantic, as well as
from the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, The theme of the 
current workshop is on Advances in Computational Intelligence.

SCOPE:

General Techiques and Algorithms: Adaptive DSP algorithms,
Digital Filter Implementations, Image Analysis, Image Enhancement and
Restoration, Image Understanding.

Technologies: Neural Networks, Fuzzy Logic, Wavelets, Fractals.

Image Transmission: Encoding/Decoding, Compression, Transmission,
ISDN, Internet, ATM, Modems, Radio, SATCOM and NAV.

Applications: Automotive, Medical, Robotics, Control, Video, TV,
Telepresence, Virtual Reality, Digital Production.

SUBMISSION PROCEDURES:

Prospective authors are invited to propose papers in any of the
technical areas listed above, indicating whethear they are intended for
oral/poster presentation. To submit a proposal, prepare a 2-3 page
