                         IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society
              Symposium on Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Technology
                                       AUV 96

        June 3-6, 1996 * Hyatt Regency Hotel * Monterey, California, USA

   The IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society is sponsoring the next Symposium on
Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Technology (AUV 96) on June 3-6, 1996. The
Symposium will be held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Monterey California USA.

   The Symposium will focus on topics that are related to the
AUTONOMOUS OPERATION OF UNDERWATER VEHICLES 

These include but are not limited to:
 Sensors and Multi-Sensor Fusion     Communications and Telemetry
 Navigation, Rendezvous and Docking  Imaging Techniques and Systems
 Modeling and Simulation Methods     Mission Control & Software Architectures
 Energy Systems                      Autonomous Manipulation
 Vehicle Design and Control          New Concept Vehicles-Mine Countermeasures
 Biological Models                   Oceanographic Sampling Networks
 Multiple Cooperating Vehicles       Mission Scenarios

    Current and archival footage of events significant to the development of
autonomous underwater vehicle technology and applications are welcome. Video
segments demonstrating results described in the conference proceedings are
particularly appropriate.

    Video clips from one to five minutes length are suggested. Early
electronic submission of an abstract describing the video is most strongly
encouraged and will directly impact inclusion of the clip if space becomes an
issue. Written abstracts describing the video should accompany each clip.
Abstracts should not exceed 100 words, and should also include title, author
names, organizational affiliation, address and phone/fax/e-mail as
appropriate. If email is not possible, inclusion of an additional abstract
copy in electronic form (ASCII or WordPerfect diskette) with the film clip is
appreciated.

    Clarity and technical content of the video submissions are essential.
Narration and audio are critical components. Entries must be edited to
provide a high quality, quickly-paced presentation of general interest to
symposium attendees. We can accommodate standard play (SP) VHS, Super VHS and
8mm camcorder tape. Extended play (EP/LP) format VHS is unacceptable due to
poor video quality. Please label your videotape mailer "Magnetic Media
Enclosed."

    All selected videos will be professionally compiled without individual
clip editing onto a single master, duplicated, and provided to conference
attendees with the printed proceedings at no extra charge.

     Call for Videos:                 October 15, 1995
     Video Submission Deadline:          March 1, 1996
     Notification of Video Acceptance:     May 1, 1996
     Final Production:                    May 15, 1996
