The fifteenth of a series of IEEE workshops on Machine Learning for Signal
Processing will be held in Mystic, Connecticut
(http://www.visitconnecticut.com/mystic.html), USA at the start of the fall
foliage season.  Mystic Seaport and Mystic Aquarium are world-class
institutions showcasing America's seagoing history and the life below the
surface.  The old whaling port of New London has a new waterfront park where
you may see a submarine heading out on patrol. 

A wonderful program has been prepared, including the special sessions on
biomedical image analysis and data fusion, genomic signal processing, as well
as sessions on independent component analysis, statistical classification and
clustering, image processing, and information theoretic methods.  Lunch and
coffee breaks are including in the registration, as well as a banquet at the
Mystic Aquarium and a tutorial on applications of fixed-point theory. 

This is a popular location, so don't forget to reserve your hotel room soon. 

We hope to see you in Mystic!
