Prof. Donald Tufts Univ. of Rhode Island Dr. James Ward MIT Lincoln Laboratory Dr. Michael Zatman MIT Lincoln Laboratory ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- TECHNICAL PROGRAM Adaptive Signal Processing, Detection, Estimation, and Countermeasures for: Radar Sonar Communications Imaging ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS Researchers from academia, industry, and government will meet on 14-15 March 2000 to present and discuss the latest advances in adaptive processing and their application to defense and commercial systems. The technical committee seeks new presentations that clearly describe the challenges of adaptive techniques along with quantitative or experimental substantiation. All submissions will be competitively reviewed and judged on their technical quality, novelty, and relevance to the technical program. Workshop attendance is contingent upon advance registration. There will be both UNCLASSIFIED and CLASSIFIED sessions. Attendance to the CLASSIFIED session will only be open to U.S. citizens who have forwarded their clearance information in advance. Authors are directed to submit unclassified abstracts (approved for unlimited distribution) of no more than 300 words. To ensure fair review of all submissions, authors must also complete the cover sheet. The abstract and cover sheet may be submitted either electronically via http://www.ll.mit.edu/asap or to the address given below. The workshop will be divided into 25 minute oral presentations and poster presentations with an oral précis. Presenters are encouraged to provide a six page (maximum) paper at the time of the workshop for publication in the author's choice of an archival unclassified proceedings or a restricted-access classified proceedings. In addition, all presenters will have an opportunity to have their viewgraph presentation made available on the ASAP web page shortly after the conference for more timely dissemination of their material. Please see specified guidelines. Immediately following the ASAP workshop, the first IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel (SAM) signal processing workshop will take place on 16-17 March 2000 in Cambridge, MA. The IEEE SAM workshop is the principle IEEE conference devoted to array processing. For more information visit the SAM 2000 website at sam2000.uconn.edu.
