of Professor Karl Astrom's Visit to the University of British Columbia
(first week of October) during which he gave four plenary talks on
different topics pertaining to future trends in control. The CSS Vancouver
Chapter also co-sponsored a plenary lecture by Professor William Gruver of
Simon Fraser University who spoke on November 24, on "Intelligent Robotics
with an Apllication Overview". The Chapter is also pleased to announce the
visit of Professor Hinodai Kimura of Osaka University, to Vancouver, during
which, on December 10 he will give a lecture on "Modeling and Robust Control
with Applications".
The members of the Chapter have been active in the 2nd IEEE Conference on
Control Applications, which was held in Vancouver during September.
Besides these activities, the Chapter has also been engaged in scheduling
Industrial and Research Laboratory tours within the region, for the purpose
of exposing the members to the usefulness of control systems, with an
emphasis on practical applications. A membership drive has been initiated
as well.
Several activities are being scheduled for the year 1994, including the
co-sponsoring with ASME, of the Workshop on "Intelligent Process Control",
to be held at the University of British Columbia in August 1994.
The 1995 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics
will be held in Vancouver, and we intend to actively participate in this as

choose from a variety of areas of engineering in which high level
mathematics and sophisticated computation is critical for future
progress and will pursue in depth study in the areas of the
mathematical sciences on which this progress depends. Examples of
possible research areas are appended below.
Work in the engineering area and in the mathematical sciences along
with computational and other skill development will be directed at
preparing the student
* To develop mathematical models of phenomena in the application
area with a critical understanding of the significance of the
assumptions employed in the model.
* To analyze the models and their implications using a broad
array of existing mathematical methods and to develop new
mathematical methods as needed.
* To explore models computationally in order to better
understand their implications and to efficiently compute
quantities of interest.
* To effectively communicate the results of modelling and
analysis.
This program will provide an excellent graduate study opportunity
for outstanding students with strong undergraduate mathematics
preparation and a demonstrated interest in the physical sciences
and/or engineering. For further information and application

Linear Algebra and its Applications
Policy on publication of research.
This announcement discusses a certain aspect of the publication policy
of LAA (which is probably similar to that of most mathematical
research journals). The central point is that LAA publishes *original
research* (plus some expository articles, book reviews etc. , which
will not be further discussed in this announcment). The obvious
consequence is that research previously published elsewhere cannot be
republished in LAA.
Our policy allows two kinds of previous appearance of this research.
First, a preprint (hardcopy or electronic) is not considered to be a
publication and therefore a paper that has been made available as a
preprint can (of course) be considered for publication in LAA. Second,
publication (in LAA or elsewhere) of an (extended) abstract or
synopsis of the research does not preclude publication of the full
paper in LAA.
This sounds simple, but occasionally misunderstandings have arisen
because there are grey areas which (in the nature of grey areas)
cannot be delineated precisely. But below we shall attempt to give
some indications on how to distinguish a publication from a preprint
and a paper from an abstract or synopsis.
1. What distinguishes a publication from preprint?
An article (or series thereof) may be considered to have been
published if any of the following hold:
a. it bears the imprint of a recognized publisher,
b. it is for sale and can be ordered through a bookstore,
c. it is being reviewed by Math Reviews.
In-house proceeding of conferences (available to participants only)
are not normally considered to be publications.
2. What distinguishes a paper from an abstract or synopsis?
This is hard. Obviously, the length of an extended abstract is at most
a few pages. Normally, the absence of proofs of essentially all
significant new results indicates the article is an abstract.
But it should be understood that, when there is doubt, the
editor-in-chief reserves the right to decide the above questions in
each individual case.

Workshop on
Robust Control via
Variable Structure & Lyapunov Techniques
September 7-9, 1994, Benevento, Italy
with the technical co-sponsorship of IEEE Control Systems Society
and IEEE Central&South Italy Section
The aim of the Workshop is to bring together researchers working on
robust analysis and control via variable structure techniques or their
continuous counterparts which are often based on Lyapunov techniques.
This Workshop is the third in a series. The first one was held March
1990 in Sarajevo, in the former Yugoslavia, and the second one was
held September 1992 in Sheffield, England. This one will be held
September 7-9, 1994 in Benevento, Italy. Benevento is an historical
town 70 km from Naples where a new university with a school of
engineering has been recently established. The Universities of Salerno
and Naples will be among the sponsors. A weekend in Ischia, the
well-known island in the Gulf of Naples, will be part of the cultural
and social events.
Topics of interest will be roughly the same as for the previous
workshops. A non-exhaustive list follows:
[*] Variable structure systems
[*] Lyapunov analysis and control
[*] Analysis and robust control of uncertain (time-varying) systems
[*] Implementation
In order to encourage discussion, as well as the exchange and blending
of ideas, the organizers would prefer to have (relatively) long
presentations and no parallel sessions. Authors should submit three
copies of an extended draft for review. Papers can also be submitted
via e-mail in TeX or LaTeX format.
Workshop proceedings will be published. A selection of the papers will
be published in a book after a further writing and review process. (A
similar procedure applied to the workshop in Sheffield resulting in a
book to be published shortly by Springer-Verlag).

1994 BENELUX MEETING ON SYSTEMS AND CONTROL
******* March 2-4, 1994, Veldhoven (Noord-Brabant), The Netherlands ********
Aim and scope
The 1994 Benelux Meeting on Systems and Control is the
thirteenth in a sequence of annual gatherings, which take place alternatingly
in Belgium and the Netherlands. The conference provides a meeting place for
Dutch and Belgian researchers in the area of Systems and Control. Theoretical
as well as applied workers in this field have here the opportunity, through
formal presentations and informal discussions, to communicate their results
and to learn about new developments.
Program
The technical program consists of plenary sessions in which
full-length lectures will be given, as well as parallel sessions
consisting of short presentations. There will be two speakers who
will each give two main lectures in a plenary session. This year's speakers
are prof. J.R. Partington of the University of Leeds, U.K, who will speak
about worst-case identification, and prof. H.R. van Nauta Lemke of the
University of Delft, The Netherlands, who will speak about fuzzy control.
Further plenary lectures will be given as part of a minicourse on adaptive
control. The minicourse will have two speakers: prof. L. Praly
(Ecole des Mines, Paris, France), and prof. J.W. Polderman (University of
Twente, The Netherlands)). In the parallel sessions, there will be about a
hundred short presentations with a broad range of subjects in system theory
and control technology.
Sponsoring and organization
The conference is sponsored by the
Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, by the Division for Automatic
Control of the Royal Institution of Engineers in the Netherlands (KIVI, afd.
Regeltechniek), and by the Systems and Control Theory Network in the
Netherlands. The meeting takes place under the auspices of
the Dutch Research Community in the Mathematics of Operations Research and
System Theory (MBST), the Dutch Foundation for Measurement and Control
technology (SMBT), the Contactgroep Automatica / Groupe de Contact
Automatique of the Belgian National Fund for Scientific Research
(NFWO-FNRS), and the Belgian Federation of Automatic Control (BIRA-IBRA).
The organization of the conference is carried out by the Mathematics
Institute of The University of Groningen and by the Centre for Mathematics
and Computer Science in Amsterdam.
Conference information
The Benelux Meeting will take place in the conference center `De Koningshof'
in Veldhoven (near Eindhoven), The Netherlands.
The meeting will start with lunch on Wednesday, March 2, 1994, and
end on Friday, March 4, 1994, in the afternoon. The participation fee,
including registration, preprints, meals, and lodging, will be
approx. Dfl. 550.- (single room) and approx. Dfl. 475,- (twinbedded room).

CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------
IEE Colloquium on Advances in Neural Networks
for Control and Systems
26-27 May 1994
To be held at a location in Central Europe
A colloquium on `Advances in neural networks for control and systems'
is being organised by the control committees of the
Institution of Electrical Engineers with additional support from
Daimler-Benz Systems Technology Research, Berlin. This
two-day meeting will be held on 26-27 May 1994 at a central
european location.
The programme will comprise a mix of invited papers and papers received
in response to this call. Invited speakers include leading international
academic workers in the field and major industrial companies who will
present recent applications of neural methods, and outline the latest
theoretical advances.
Neural networks have been seen for some years now as providing
considerable promise for application in nonlinear control and
systems problems. This promise stems from the theoretical
ability of networks of various types to approximate arbitrarily
well continuous nonlinear mappings.
The aim of this colloquium is to evaluate the state-of-the-art
in this very popular field from the engineering perspective.
The colloquium will cover both theoretical and applied aspects.
A major goal of the workshop will be to examine ways of improving
the engineering involved in neural network modelling and control,
so that the theoretical power of learning systems can be harnessed
for practical applications. This includes questions such as: which
network architecture for which application? Can constructive learning
algorithms capture the underlying dynamics while avoiding overfitting?
How can we introduce a priori knowledge or models into neural networks?
Can experiment design and active learning be used to automatically
create 'optimal' training sets? How can we validate a neural
network model?
In line with this goal of better engineering methods, the colloquium
will also place emphasis on real industrial applications of the
technology; applied papers are most welcome.
Prospective authors are invited to submit three copies of a 500-word
abstract by Friday 25 February 1994 to Dr K J Hunt, Daimler-Benz AG,
Alt-Moabit 91 B, D-10559 Berlin, Germany (tel: + 49 30 399 82 275,
FAX: + 49 30 399 82 107, E-mail: hunt@DBresearch-berlin.de).
