CONFERENCE LOCATION

The IEEE Workshop on Nonlinear Signal and Image Processing is the second
in a series of international workshops presenting leading edge work in
nonlinear digital signal and image processing and computer vision. Held
in Tampere, Finland, in 1993, it moves to Greece in 1995. 
The workshop will be held in a luxury holiday resort set in one of 
the most unspoilt and picturesque regions in Greece at  Neos Marmaras,
Halkidiki. The resort set embraces 4500 acres of countryside and
stretches along more than 10 kms of secluded coves and sandy beaches of
the Aegean Sea.

TOPICS

The workshop will consist of sessions with both invited and contributed
papers. The workshop proceedings will be published and distributed to
the participants of the workshop. Due to workshop facility constraints,
attendance will be limited with priority given to those who submit and
present a paper. Suitable topics include:

   * Median and order statistics related methods.
     Nonlinear processing of multivariate signals.
   * Morphological signal/image processing and analysis.
   * Volterra and general polynomial filters. Homomorphic processing.
   * Neural network techniques. Fuzzy techniques. Chaotic systems.
   * Higher order statistics applied to detection and estimation.
     Nonlinear methods in signal estimation.
   * Nonlinear methods in pattern recognition and computer vision.
   * Nonlinear methods in coding and detection.
   * Application specific nonlinearities. Implementation of nonlinear systems.
   * Applications e.g. biomedical, speech, image and image sequence
     processing etc.
   * Parallel algorithms.

SUBMISSION PROCEDURE

Prospective authors are invited to submit 3 copies of an extended
summary of no more than 3 pages to:

Prof. Ioannis Pitas
Dept. of Electrical & Computer Engineering,

P.O. Box 463, 54006 Thessaloniki,
Greece

Tel.: +30-31-996304
FAX : +30-31-274868
E-mail: pitas@vergina.eng.auth.gr

The top of the first page of the summary should include authors' names,
addresses, affiliations, telephone and fax numbers and e-mail addresses.
