LAST ANNOUNCEMENT of   the 2nd International Workshop on
-----------------
                    TLS and ERRORS-IN-VARIABLES MODELING

                           August 21--24, 1996
                             Leuven, Belgium

This interdisciplinary workshop is a continuation of a previous workshop
on ``Total Least Squares: Concepts, Algorithms, Applications'' which was
held in Leuven, Belgium, August 1991, and aims to bring together numerical
analysts, statisticians, engineers, economists, chemists, etc. in order to
discuss recent advances in Total Least Squares (TLS) techniques and
errors-in-variables modeling.

The workshop is partly sponsored by the Belgian National Fund for
Scientific Research (NFWO), and the European Association for Signal
Processing (EURASIP)

The different sessions are :
