               INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM AND TUTORIALS

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE)
invites you to participate in a Symposium and Tutorials being presented
in conjunction with the IEEE Region 10 Conference : TENCON '92.
Speakers from around the world will provide delegates with authoritative
and up-to-date introductions to rapidly developing engineering
activities which are expected to play an important part in the economic
future of the Region.  All sessions will be presented at the World
Congress Centre, Melbourne, Australia, on the 9'th and 10'th of
November, 1992 as listed below.

Tutorial T1

CRYPTOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUES FOR DATA SECURITY
9.00am - 5.00pm, 9 Nov. '92

Presented by :
Prof A. Konheim, University of California, Santa Barbara

Prof Konheim will develop the principal concepts of secrecy systems as a
prelude to discussing encryption techniques in the context of systems at
risk in the storage, processing and transmission of data.  He will then
go on to introduce the Data Encryption Standard (DES), public key
systems, their relative advantages and how they may be used in everyday
situations.  He will also outline "hot topics" from present activities
directed towards the development and improvement of secure data systems.

Tutorial T2

MACHINE PERCEPTION FOR AUTOMATION
2.00pm - 5.00pm, 9 Nov. '92

Presented by :
Prof R. Jarvis & Dr A. Russell, Monash University
Prof T. Caelli & Dr L. Kitchen, Melbourne University

The speakers will develop the foundations of the computer vision and
tactile/torque/force sensing fields of machine perception in the context
of supporting industrial and other automation in the inspection,
manipulation and navigation application domains.

Tutorial T3

SOFTWARE RELIABILITY ENGINEERING
9.00am - 5.00pm, 10 Nov. '92

Presented by :
Mr J. Musa & Mr H. Burns, AT&T Bell Laboratories

Software reliability engineering (SRE) is an exciting new technology
that is improving customer satisfaction, increasing productivity,
reducing costs, shortening testing times and guiding the improvement of
software-based systems.  Mr Musa, who is responsible for SRE at AT&T
Bell Lab's, will introduce SRE concepts and illustrate their application
throughout the software development life cycle.   Mr Burns, who directs
AT&T Bell Lab's projects which actively use SRE concepts, will then
relate practical experiences in the application of these techniques.

Symposium T4

ASIA-PACIFIC SYMPOSIUM ON
"MULTIMEDIA SERVICES AND NETWORKING FOR THE 1990's"
9.00am - 5.00pm, 10 Nov. '92

Invited papers from :
Dr M. Milner, et. al, Telecom Corp. of New Zealand, NZ.
Dr J. C. Kohli, Pacific Bell, USA.
Dr N-S. Kim, Korea Telecom, Korea.
Dr T. Miki and Dr. K. Aihara, NTT, Japan.
Mr Y. Wakahara, KDD, Japan.
Mr M. Reeve, British Telecom, UK.
Mr A. Day, Telecom Australia, Aust., Vice chairman CCITT SGXVIII.

The speakers will present 7 papers addressing key issues in the delivery
of multimedia telecommunications services in the Asia-Pacific region.
Extended discussion will be possible.
