INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING
June 26 - 28, 1995, Limassol, Cyprus
Organized & Sponsored by: Department of Computer Science
University of Cyprus, Nicosia, Cyprus
In cooperation with: IEEE Cyprus Section
EURASIP
Cyprus Computer Society
IEE Cyprus Centre
Co-sponsoring organisations: The Cyprus Institute of Neurology and
Genetics, Cyprus
Imperial College of Science,
Technology and Medicine, UK
University of Florence, Italy
We celebrated in 1993 the 25th anniversary of the first ever international
meeting on Digital Signal Processing which was organised in London in
1968. This first meeting was followed by others initially in London every
two years and subsequently in Florence every three years. To mark the 25
years of this event we held the conference in Cyprus where it was a
resounding success. As a result the next international conference will be
held again in Cyprus in June 26 - 28, 1995. The conference venue is the
Hawaii Beach Hotel at Limassol located at the beach.
The successful format of the earlier events will be followed again, namely
that we shall have a significant number of Special Sessions organised by
internationally recognised experts in the areas . There are planned 19
such Seminars cited below with the Session Organisers. The role of the
Session Organiser is crucial in that she or he will be entirely
responsible for the invitation of 8 - 10 speakers, for the quality of the
contributions and for the general theme that the session will take. Each
of such Special Seminars will be a little like a mini-Symposium and the
Session Organiser will be the Symposiarch.

ABOUT CYPRUS
Cyprus is an island situated in the northeast corner of the Mediterranean
Sea at the crossroads of three continents, Europe, Asia and Africa. Its
geographically significant position both for trade and military purposes
has been one of the main reasons for Cyprus' turbulent history. The
passing from the island of different conquerors has helped to blend the
character of the Cypriot. Here the visitor may enjoy magnificent pottery
and sculpture, ancient ruins all over the island, Byzantine monasteries
and churches and medieval monuments of great architectural value. The
people of Cyprus are traditionally warm and welcoming. Their language is
Greek but English is spoken in all shops, restaurants, hotels, banks and
government offices. Life on the island is leisurely and safe. Greek food
should be tried. Greek Meze, consisting of as many as thirty dishes,
starting with salads, dips, tasty local dishes and kebab is something the
visitor should not miss.
CLIMATE
Cyprus has what is called a Mediterranean climate, that is hot summers but
moderate winters. July and August are the hottest months. Temperatures
during the day vary from 32 - 38oC, so bring light clothes, sandals and
sunglasses. Temperature falls during the evenings but remains warm. Sea
water is warm and inviting so don't forget your swimsuits.
LARNACA / PAFOS AIRPORTS
The island is easily accessible by air. Larnaca airport is forty-five
minutes drive from the Hawaii Beach Hotel at Limassol. A taxi ride from
the airport costs around CYP=20. Pafos airport on the other hand is one
hour and twenty minutes drive from the Hawaii Beach Hotel and would cost
around CY=30 by taxi.
