Mathematical Theory of Networks and Systems-96
           Washington University, Saint Louis, Missouri, USA
                          June 24-28, 1996

The 1996 International Symposium on the Mathematical Theory of Networks and
Systems, MTNS 96 will be held in June 24-28, 1996 at the Washington
University
in Saint Louis.  The Chairmen of the Symposium are Christopher I. Byrnes,
Biswa Nath Datta and Clyde F. Martin.  The symposium will consist of plenary
talks and lectures in special topics together with contributed papers and
invited sessions.

Second Call for Contributed Papers and Invited Sessions

Contributed papers and invited sessions for MTNS 96 are hereby solicited in
all traditional areas involving Mathematics of Networks and Systems as well
as emerging fields in Engineering and Mathematics with potential impact in
Circuits, Automatic Control Systems and Signal Processing. Such topics
include, but are not limited to Mathematical Theory of Networks and Circuits,
Linear and Numerical Linear Algebra in Systems, Control and Signal
Processing,
Image Processing, Wavelets, Information Networking, Visionics, Robotics,
Stochastic Systems, Distributed Parameter and Infinite Dimensional Systems,
Nonlinear Systems and Control, System Identification, Robust Control,
Adaptive Control,  Computation and Control, Flow Control and Computational
Fluid Dynamics.  We also encourage contributions in the application areas of
Aerospace, Communication, Bio-Medical, Manufacturing, Transportation and
Process Control.  A Proceedings of the conference is intended to be published
by Birkhauser.

Regular Papers:
The Program Committee is soliciting regular papers that describe completed
work in some detail.  The authors should submit hard copies of 4 page
extended abstracts with bibliography by November 1, 1995 to the Symposium
Charman Biswa Nath Datta.

Invited Sessions:
The Program Committee is soliciting proposals for invited sessions. Cohesive
sessions focusing on new or emerging topics in the above listed areas of
interest are particularly encouraged and will have a priority over those of
a classical or mainstream flavor.  Session organizer should plan on 4 or 5
speakers in a session and should submit 4 copies of the proposal by November
1, 1995 to the Symposium Chairman Clyde F. Martin.  Such a proposal must
include 4 page extended abstracts of all papers proposed. An intent to submit
an invited session proposal is also due by October 1, 1995.  A complete
guidelines for an invited session proposal is available from Clyde F. Martin
upon receipt of the statement of intent.
