** CALL FOR PRESENTATION **
    The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for the 
discussion of new results and ideas on intelligent signal processing 
and their applications to communication systems.    Topics also 
include other related technologies to achieve intelligent and 
adaptable communication systems.
    The three-day workshop will feature serial sessions for all the  
contributions.   Each speaker will have 20-30 minutes for presentation
including discussion.
    Prospective authors are invited to submit recent advance on
the above topics and present them in the workshop. 

** Topics **
    Areas of interest include:
. Intelligent Signal Processing
  (based on Neural Networks and Fuzzy Logic, etc.)
. Adaptive/Nonlinear Signal Processing
. Adaptive Processing for Signal Transmission
. Neural Network Applications for Communications
. Adaptive Signal Processing for Mobile Communications
. Model-based Video/Image Coding
. Visual Signal Processing
. Multidimensional Signal Processing
. Programmable DSP Systems for Communication
. VLSI/ASIC for Intelligent Signal Processing, etc.

**  WORKSHOP SITE **
    Sendai, the City of Trees, is located in the northeast region of 
Japan.  It is 350 km north from the capital city of Tokyo and is only 
2 hours away from Tokyo by the Tohoku bullet train.   It is also one 
and half hour flight from Osaka.  It is reached by some international 
airlines including Singapore (7.5 hour flight) and Seoul or Pusan 
(2 hour flight).   The city, with a population of 1,000,000  has 
a warm climate and is blessed with four separate and beautiful seasons.
The workshop site, Aoba Memorial Hall, is located at the campus of 
Faculty of Engineering, Tohoku University, Sendai.
    There are many beautiful places around Sendai.  In the mountain 
range of Zao, you can see a spectacular view of Lake Kakoh, also known 
as the Okama.   With its cobalt blue water against the steep mountainside,
it is quite a fantastic sight to behold.   Also, Matsushima, with its 
two hundred and sixty islands, is known as one of the three best scenic 
places in Japan.  Tours can be arranged if enough interest arises.

**  REGISTRATION INFORMATION  **
    The registration fee for regular IEEE Members will be approximately 
20,000 Yen (US$180).  The fee for students will be only about 6,000 yen 
(US$50) including all workshop materials except Banquet Ticket.   The number 
of participants will be limited up to 150 because of the limit of conference 
room.    A detailed registration form will be sent out those returning 
the "Request Form."   Registration will be done on a first-come-first-served 
basis.  

**  Request Form for Further Information  **
    Those who return this form will receive the second circular
which includes an advance program, hotel accommodation, travel, 
registration and other necessary information.   Please return this 
form by May 10, 1993.
