E-LETTER on Systems, Control, and Signal Processing ISSUE No. 49, 20 Feb 1992 Editors: Bradley W. Dickinson bradley@princeton.edu or bradley@pucc.bitnet Eduardo D. Sontag sontag@hilbert.rutgers.edu or sontag@pisces.bitnet _____________________________________________________________________________ NOTICE: This is a "special" issue of the E-LETTER in that it contains only two conference programs. However, an apology is due to those readers who received multiple copies of Issue 48, sent on 17 February, and to those who may not have received Issue 48 at all. A major mailer problem arose, hopefully not to be encountered again. If you receive this issue and did not receive Issue 48, please send a request to Brad Dickinson (address above). _____________________________________________________________________________ Table of Contents: Program for CISS, March 18-20, 1992, Princeton, New Jersey Program for IEEE CACSD 92, March 17-19, 1992, Napa, California *.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.** CONFERENCE ON INFORMATION SCIENCES AND SYSTEMS March 18, 19, 20, 1992 Department of Electrical Engineering Princeton University Princeton, NJ 08544 Program Directors: Prof. H.
