Call for Papers and Announcement

ADAPTIVE AND LEARNING SYSTEMS II

12-16 April 1993
Marriott's Orlando World Center Resort
and Convention Center
Orlando, Florida USA

Part of SPIE's
  OE/AEROSPACE
Science & Sensing
SPIE Orlando 1993


Conference Chair:  Firooz A. Sadjadi, Honeywell Systems and Research Center

Cochair:  Christopher A. Miller, Honeywell Systems and Research Center

Questions and comments should be directed to cmiller@src.honeywell.com

Adaptation and learning is rapidly becoming a major technology area with
diverse 
military and commercial applications such as industrial robotics, machine
vision, space 
exploration, avionic controls, medical diagnosis, and geological
exploration.

This conference will address the advances in adaptation and learning and
will investigate 
different technical approaches and explore how certain techniques being
pursued in one 
area can benefit the others.

Papers are solicited on the following and related topics:

adaptive signal processing
wavelet theory
genetic algorithm/classifier systems
automatic algorithm design 
automatic knowledge acquisition
explanation-based learning
artificial neural networks
inductive learning method
adaptive controls
case-based techniques
system applications
hybrid systems.

CONDITIONS OF ACCEPTANCE
Authors are expected to secure travel and accommodation funding,
independent of SPIE, 
through their sponsoring organizations before submitting abstracts.  Only
original 
material should be submitted.  Abstracts should contain enough detail to
clearly convey 
the approach and the results of the research.  Government and company
clearance to 
present and publish should be final at the time of submittal.  Submissions
may be placed 
in an oral or poster session at the chair's discretion.  Applicants will be
notified of 
acceptance by 4 January 1993.

Your abstract should include the following:

1.  ABSTRACT TITLE

2.  AUTHOR LISTING (principal author first).  Full names and affiliations
as they will 
appear in the program.

3.  CORRESPONDENCE FOR EACH AUTHOR.  Mailing address, telephone, telefax, 
e-mail address.

4.  SUBMIT TO:  Adaptive and Learning Systems II, Firooz Sadjadi, Chair, at

OE/Aerospace Science and Sensing '93.

5.  PRESENTATION.  Please indicate your preference for either "Oral
Presentation" or 
"Poster Presentation."

6.  ABSTRACT TEXT.  500 words typed on white paper.

7.  BRIEF BIOGRAPHY (principal author only).  50 to 100 words.


PROCEEDINGS OF THESE MEETINGS
These meetings will result in published Proceedings that can be ordered
through the 
Advance Program.  Manuscripts are required of all accepted applicants and
must be 
submitted in English by 15 March 1993.  Copyright to the manuscript is
expected to be 
released for publication in the conference Proceedings.

PAPER REVIEW
Commercial papers, descriptions of papers with no research content, and
papers where 
supporting data or a technical description cannot be given for proprietary
reasons will not 
be accepted for presentation in this symposium.  To assure a high quality
conference, all 
abstracts and Proceedings papers will be reviewed by the Conference Chairs
for technical 
merit and content.

CHAIR/AUTHOR BENEFITS
Chairs/authors/co-authors are accorded a reduced-rate registration fee. 
Included with fee 
payment are a copy of the Proceedings in which the participant's role or
paper appears, a 
complimentary one-year nonvoting membership in SPIE (if never before a
member), and 
other special benefits.

POSTER PRESENTATION
Interactive poster sessions will be scheduled in the evenings, with SPIE
providing authors 
with boards and easels for presentation set-up.  All conference chairs
encourage authors 
to contribute papers with technical content that lends itself well to the
poster format.  
Please indicate your preference on the abstract.

ORAL PRESENTATION
Each author is generally allowed 15 minutes plus a five-minute discussion
period.  SPIE 
will provide the following media equipment free of charge:  35 mm carousel
slide 
projectors, overhead projectors, and electric pointers.  Video and other
equipment may be 
rented by SPIE at the speaker's expense.


SPIE:  The International Society for Optical Engineering
SPIE is a nonprofit society dedicated to advancing engineering and
scientific applications 
of optical, electro-optical, and optoelectronic instrumentation, systems,
and technology.  
Its members are scientists, engineers, and user interested in the reduction
to practice of 
these technologies.  SPIE provides the means for communicating new
developments and 
applications to the scientific, engineering, and user communities through
its publications, 
symposia, and short courses.
