Technical Program
-----------------
The IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel (SAM) technical committee announces
the first SAM Workshop to be held in March 2000 in Boston, Massachusetts.
The SAM Workshop is the principal IEEE conference devoted to array
processing. The organizing committee invites the international community
to present and discuss state-of-the-art developments in sensor array
processing. SAM 2000 will feature:
* Distinguished lectures presented by the field's leading experts
* Open forums for peer reviewed poster presentations
SAM 2000 will follow the Adaptive Sensor Array Processing (ASAP) Workshop,
held at MIT Lincoln Laboratory on 14-15 March 2000, providing a unique
opportunity for interaction between the academic and applied research
communities. For more information visit the ASAP website
at www.ll.mit.edu/asap.
