ICASSP-99 TECHNICAL PROGRAM
 
The IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal
Processing (ICASSP) is the largest and most comprehensive IEEE
conference in the area of signal processing.  It encompasses technical
presentations, exhibits, tutorials, panels, and social activities.
ICASSP is among the most prominent annual gatherings for the
international community of signal processing researchers and
practitioners from industry, academia, and government.
 
ICASSP-99 will be held March 15-19, 1999 in Phoenix, Arizona.  The
technical program will incorporate papers on all aspects of signal
processing.  Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
 
1.      Audio and Electroacoustics 
2.      Underwater Acoustic Signal Processing 
3.      Speech Processing 
4.      Digital Signal Processing 
5.      Statistical Signal and Array Processing 
6.      Image and Multidimensional Signal Processing 
7.      VLSI for Signal Processing 
8.      Neural Networks for Signal Processing 
9.      Multimedia Signal Processing 
10.     Communication Systems and Networking 
11.     DSP Education
12.     Industry DSP Technology Forum*
 
Papers dealing with topics outside these categories, especially with
new applications, will also be considered.  For more details, please
visit our web site at http://icassp99.asu.edu.
 
*ICASSP-99 INDUSTRY DSP TECHNOLOGY FORUM
 
ICASSP-99 will feature a new industrial forum highlighting industrial
aspects and applications of signal processing.  Papers in this forum
will cover both hardware and software issues in industrial signal
processing.
 
Papers on the following topics are encouraged:
 
- DSP Chips and Architectures 
- DSP Tools and Rapid Prototyping
- Communication Technologies 
- Multimedia and DTV Technologies 
- DSP Implementations of Music, Speech, and Audio Systems 
- Adaptive Interference Cancellation
- Automotive Applications 
- Defense and Security Applications
- Emerging DSP Applications 
 
Other industrial topics will also be considered.  Strong preference
will be given to industrial submissions describing innovative product
implementations and solutions.
 
                   ******************
 
 
SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
 
Prospective authors are invited to submit six copies of a camera-ready
paper, no longer than four pages, including figures and
references. Authors should clearly indicate whether the paper is
submitted to the ICASSP-99 Technical Program or to the Industry DSP
Technology Forum.  Submission instructions, cover sheet, copyright
form, and additional information are available at the ICASSP-99 web
site: http://icassp99.asu.edu
 
                   ******************
 
 
TUTORIAL PROPOSALS
 
Tutorials will be held on Monday, March 15, 1999.  Brief proposals for
tutorials should be submitted by electronic mail to Tong Zhou,
ICASSP-99 Tutorials Chair, at gtz@ece.gatech.edu before September 14,
1998.  These must include a title and outline for the tutorial,
contact information for the presenter, and a description of the
tutorial materials to be distributed to participants.  Proposals may
also present additional information to be considered in the proposal
evaluation, such as relevant experience of the presenter, novelty and
timeliness of the topic, and a description of the target audience.
