                        IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society
              Symposium on Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Technology
                                     AUV 94

                                July 19-20, 1994

                          Cambridge, Massachusetts USA

     The IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society is sponsoring the next Symposium on
Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Technology (AUV 94) on July 19-20, 1994.  The
Symposium will be held at the Charles Stark Draper Laboratories in Cambridge,
Massachusetts USA.

     The focus of the Symposium is AUTONOMOUS OPERATION OF UNDERWATER VEHICLES. 
Topics include but are not limited to:

   Sensors and Multi-Sensor Fusion   Communications and Telemetry
   Navigation                        Imaging Techniques and Systems
   Modeling and Simulation Methods   Mission Control and Software Architectures
   Energy Systems                    Autonomous Manipulation
   Vehicle Design and Control        Launch and Recovery Techniques and Issues
   Multiple Cooperating Vehicles     Scientific and Environmental Applications

     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.  Written
abstracts describing the video should accompany each clip.  Abstracts should
not exceed 100 words, and should also include title and author names,
organizational affiliation, address, and phone/fax/e-mail as appropriate.
Inclusion of an additional abstract copy in electronic form (electronic mail,
ASCII or WordPerfect diskette) is appreciated.

     Clarity of the video submissions is essential.  Narration and audio are
critical components.  Entries should 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.  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.

     Submission Deadline:             May 15, 1994
     Notification of Acceptance:      June 15, 1994
     Final Production:                July 1, 1994
