ANNOUNCEMENTS: ************** 1) Conference Registration Forms were mailed out to the Signal Processing Society Members on Tuesday, February 20. Please note that the early registration deadline of March 15 is rapidly approaching. Registrations received by this date will qualify for a discounted registration fee. To avoid the higher on-site registration fees fees, payment must be RECEIVED by March 15, 1996. The fees are: If Received by 3/15/96 On-Site IEEE Members: $350 $475 Non-members: $450 $575 Student IEEE members: $ 75 $100 Student Non-members: $100 $125 Registration forms may also be found in the January issues of the Signal Processing Society Transactions, and forms are available on the WWW and by anonymous ftp at ftp.eedsp.gatech.edu/pub/icassp96 The relevant files are reg_page1.ps and reg_page2.ps WHAT DOES REGISTRATION INCLUDE? a) Conference Proceedings on CD-ROM. b) Admission to all technical sessions and exhibit hall. c) Welcome Reception and Exhibitors Reception. PLEASE NOTE: Conference Registration does NOT include a paper copy of the proceedings. Furthermore, if you want to guarantee that one will be printed and available either before or at the conference, you MUST place an order with your paid registration by March 15. Only a small number will be printed in excess of the number ordered. Once these are gone, copies will only be available through the IEEE (at a higher price). In addition, please note that full registration does NOT include a banquet ticket. If you wish to attend this event, tickets may be purchased for $35.00. This year, we believe that the program will be exceptional! So plan on attending. 2) We are happy to announce that this year The Mathworks will again be providing internet services to conference attendees. OTHER INFORMATION: ***************** 1) The technical program may be viewed on the WWW at http://www.ee.gatech.edu/conferences/icassp96 along with other useful information such as travel, dining, and entertainment. 2) Since 1996 is an Olympic year for Atlanta, hotel space may be very tight. Therefore, we recommend that you make reservations early at the Marriott Marquis in order to guarantee a room. Please note that there are a LIMITED number of rooms (10% of the room block) that will be available at the government rate to government employees AND to students. 3) If you would like to remove your name to this electronic mailing list, send mail to majordomo@ee.gatech.edu with "unsubscribe spmail" as the body of the message. If you have any other questions or need additional information, feel free to contact me or the appropriate member of our technical committee. We are looking forward to seeing you at ICASSP-96 and to a successful conference. We thank you for your interest and participation. With Regards, M.Hayes General Chair, ICASSP-96
