                        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 précis.  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.
 
Authors are encouraged to submit abstracts for presentations and cover 
sheets either electronically or by mail to:
