Just a reminder -- the due date for ICASSP paper summaries is August 15!


The organizers of ICASSP-96 would like to invite you to participate in
the 1996 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal
Processing (ICASSP-96) in Atlanta, GA, USA, next May.  We are very
interested in getting participation from people in the communications
area, and we hope you will consider joining us in Atlanta.  We are
excited about the program that is being assembled.  In addition to the
regular technical sessions, there will be tutorials and plenary talks
each day.  Also, ISCAS-96 -- the major conference of the Circuits and
Systems Society -- will be held in Atlanta at the same hotel as soon as
ICASSP-96 is over.)  While in Atlanta, you will also have the
opportunity to visit the CNN Studio, the 1996 Olympic Village,
Underground Atlanta, the Coca-Cola Museum, and other areas of
interest.

We look forward to seeing you in Atlanta at ICASSP-96!

I have attached below a Call for Papers with instructions on how to get
more information.  If you are interested in submitting a paper, please 
note that the deadline is August 15.


1996 IEEE International Conference On 
ACOUSTICS, SPEECH AND SIGNAL PROCESSING

May 7-10, 1996
Marriott Marquis Hotel
Atlanta, Georgia

Sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
Signal Processing Society, ICASSP-96 is the twenty-first in a series of
international conferences presenting work in experimental and
theoretical signal processing, speech and acoustics.  The latest 
conference information and forms may be found on the World Wide Web
server at URL http://www.ee.gatech.edu/conferences/icassp96 or by 
anonymous ftp to ftp.eedsp.gatech.edu in pub/icassp96.  You may also
request help or information by sending email to 
icassp96-info@ece.gatech.edu.


PROCEDURES

Prospective authors are invited to propose papers in any of the
technical areas listed in Paper Categories. The ICASSP-96 Technical
Program Committee will select papers for presentation and organize the
final program. Papers will be presented in lecture and poster
sessions.  A four-page copy of each paper will be published in the
Proceedings of ICASSP-96.

Professional audio playback systems, slide projectors and overhead
projectors will be available for speakers in lecture sessions. Upon
special request, videotape or motion picture projectors may be provided
for lecture sessions.

Submission of a proposal implies a commitment to present a paper, if
accepted. Participation in the program is conditional upon adhering to
the schedule and procedures outlined in this Call for Papers.

No individual may appear as an author on more than three proposals. No
individual may appear as the first or sole author on more than one
proposal.

Late proposals, proposals that do not include the Paper Summary Cover
Sheet, proposals from authors who failed to present an accepted paper
at ICASSP-95 without justification ("no shows"), or proposals from an
author in excess of the limits defined in the previous paragraph will
be rejected without review.

Proposals should be classified using the two-digit categories listed
under Paper Categories, which closely parallel the first two levels of
the Editor's Information Classification Scheme (EDICS) used by the IEEE
Transactions on Signal Processing and the IEEE Transactions on Image
Processing. The January, April, July and October issues of the
Transactions identify in more detail the topics included in each
category.


TO SUBMIT A PROPOSAL

* Prepare a 2-3 page summary of the paper, including figures and references. 
* Complete the Paper Summary Cover Sheet. (Click here to retrieve a PS 
  version of the Paper Summary Cover Sheet). 
* Send FIVE (5) copies of the summary and Paper Summary Cover Sheet to: 

     ICASSP-96 
     Meeting Management 
     2603 Main Street, Suite 690 
     Irvine, CA 92714 USA 
     No papers will be accepted by fax.
