Call for Papers:   AIAA Computing in Aerospace 9
                   San Diego, Caifornia - October 19-21, 1993
                   Princess Resort on Mission Bay

Computing in Aerospace is the premier conference for 
exchanging technical information, plans, and visions among 
the aerospace computing community. Computing in Aerospace 
9 is sponsored by the American Institute of Aeronautics and 
Astronautics through its Artificial Intelligence, Computer 
Systems, Sensor Systems, and Software Systems Technical 
Committees, with support from the AIAA Space Based Data 
Compression Standards Committee, the Copernicus 
Environmental Applications and Methods Group of the Space 
and Naval Warfare Systems Command, and the Strategic 
Avionics Technology Working Group.

The conference theme is "Advancing the State of the Practice - 
Applications and Commercialization of Technology." Paper and 
panel sessions will be organized around this theme with six 
major areas of interest.  A best paper award will be presented.  
The conference will also include a related program of tutorials 
and panel discussions conducted by leading aerospace experts.

Location:
The San Diego Princess Resort is located in the center of San 
Diego, on a forty-four-acre island in Mission Bay, ten minutes 
from San Diego Intercontinental Airport.  Comfortable guest 
rooms, spacious conference facilities, excellent restaurants, 
recreational and exercise facilities, and a spectacular garden 
setting will provide the perfect environment for Computing in 
Aerospace 9.  Special conference rates including a government 
rate within per diem have been negotiated.

Abstract and Paper Submission:
Prospective authors are invited to submit an abstract of an 
original, unclassified paper, not to exceed 1000 words by 
February 15, 1993.  Each submission should include complete 
addresses and phone numbers of each author.  Also, authors 
should indicate which of the topics of interest best describes 
their paper.  Notification of acceptance will be mailed to the 
primary author by April 16, 1993.   Authors whose work 
requires review and clearance by a Government agency are 
warned to submit their manuscripts for clearance without 
delay.  Final papers are due at AIAA headquarters by August 
24, 1993, to be included in the published conference 
proceedings.  

Panel proposals are also welcome.  They should include a 
description of the proposed panel topic or question, not to 
exceed 500 words, and a list of participants including a 
description of their qualifications.

Submit abstracts and panel proposals by mail, fax, or electronic 
mail to:
