talks. Paper topics include:
1. Signal densities/distributions/representations
1.1 Time-Frequency
1.2 Time-Scale
1.3 Space-Spatial frequency
1.4 Ambiguity / characteristic functions
1.5 Other (specify)
2. Signal transforms, expansions and reconstruction

2.2 Scale/Mellin transforms
2.3 Wavelet transforms
2.4 Fractional Fourier transforms
2.5 Best basis / pursuit methods
2.6 Denoising
2.7 TFD decompositions
2.8 Other (specify)
3. Instantaneous quantities and related concepts
3.1 Instantaneous frequency
3.2 Instantaneous bandwidth
3.3 Instantaneous scale
3.4 Group delay
3.5 AM / FM
3.6 Other (specify)
4. Time-varying signals and systems
4.1 Linear time-varying systems modeling and identification
4.2 Time-varying spectra (e.g., Evolutionary Spectrum, parametric)
4.3 Time-varying filtering (linear and nonlinear)
4.4 Multiresolution methods, filterbanks, wavelets
4.5 Other (specify)
5. Decision making in time-frequency / time-scale
5.1 Classification

5.3 Subspace methods
5.4 Other (specify)
6. Applications
6.1 Speech and audio
6.2 Image processing
6.3 Biomedical and biological
6.4 Acoustics
6.5 Physics and astronomy
6.6 Radar / sonar
6.7 Machine/process monitoring, fault analysis
6.8 Seismic / geophysics
6.9 Other (specify)
Prospective authors are invited to submit 4 copies of an extended summary
(up to 3 pages in length, 8 1/2 x 11 inches or A4 paper) for review. The
top of the first page should include the name, affiliations and addresses of
each author, plus the telephone/fax numbers and e-mail address of the
corresponding author. Authors are asked to indicate via a footnote at the
bottom of the first page a paper category from the list above which best
matches the general topic of their paper. Summaries should be mailed to
IEEE-SP TFTS98, c/o the Palisades Institute, 201 Varick St., Suite 1006, New
York, NY 10014 USA by March 30, 1998. Authors of accepted papers will
then be asked to submit four-page conference papers according to the schedule
below. Conference proceedings will be distributed at the symposium.
