             Call for Papers for VSS'96 Tokyo, Japan


1996 IEEE International Workshop on Variable Structure Systems (VSS'96)
5-6 December 1996, Tokyo, JAPAN

This workshop will be held at the Institute of Industrial Science (IIS) of
the University of Tokyo which is located in the Roppongi area in downtown
Tokyo. Roppongi is well known for its international color and cosmopolitian
culture. Our intention is to schedule this workshop during the week
immediately before the IEEE Conference on Decision and Control which will
be held in Kobe, Japan. Travel from Tokyo to Kobe is most convenient via the
Shinkasen ("Bullet Train") which takes about two and a half hours.

Subject Areas
Technical presentations concerning mathematical formulation, design
principles, application studies, engineering design issues of VSS and
VSS-related methodologies are solicited.
