IEE COLLOQUIUM ON APPLIED STATISTICAL PATTERN RECOGNITION
 
 Tuesday, 20 April 1999
 to be held at The Midlands Engineering Centre, Birmingham, United Kingdom
 
 Professional Group E5 (Signal processing)
 and the Pattern & Information Processing Group, DERA Malvern, United Kingdom
 
 The innovative application of advanced pattern recognition techniques is 
 increasingly required to achieve the high levels of performance demanded by 
 modern systems. It is therefore vital for engineers and  scientists to develop 
 their awareness and understanding of emerging and established  techniques, and
 of their successful application.
 
 This colloquium will provide a focus for applied research in this area, drawing
 contributions both from industry and academia. It will increase awareness of 
 developing techniques across a broad range of applications  areas; and will be
 of interest to people working in all areas of statistical pattern recognition,
 addressing applications drawn (for example) from signal and image processing.
 
 A number of invited papers will be presented by leading researchers: some of 
 these will take the form of illustrative tutorial sessions. Additional 
 contributions are welcome, and a one page synopsis of  proposed papers should 
 be sent by Friday, 15 January 1999 to:
