            4TH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP
        ON SYSTEMS, SIGNALS AND IMAGE PROCESSING

            CALL  FOR  PAPERS

After successful workshops in Budapest (1994 and 1995) and Manchester 
(1996), 
the 4th International Workshop on Systems, Signals and Image 
Processing, 
IWSSIP-97, will be organized by 
            Poznan University of Technology, 
        Institute of Electronics and Telecommunication 
                and 
    Polish Society for Theoretical and Applied Electrical 
Engineering, 
            in co-operation with 
        European Association for Signal Processing, 
                IEE, 
                   IEEE Poland Section 
            and European Circuit Society. 

The workshop intends to attract high quality papers and bring 
together 
researchers from all over the world, and especially from Central 
Europe. 

The workshop will be held at Poznan Centre of Science located near 
the historic and 
commercial centre of Poznan. 
Historic city of Poznan is a significant centre of trade, banking and 
industry 
in Western Poland with population of about 580,000.   It is easy to 
reach 
(300 km from Warsaw, 280 km from Berlin, or via Poznan International 
Airport).

    SCOPE
1. General techniques and algorithms. Adaptive DSP algorithms. SVD, 
wavelets and  
    fractals, neural networks and their applications in 
    signal/image processing and analysis. 
    Multidimensional system theory and design.
2. Image and video processing, analysis, understanding, compression. 
Television.
3. Speech analysis, recognition and synthesis. Applications. Digital 
processing 
    of audio.
4. Multimedia in communication networks, ISDN, ATM, wireless 
networks, Internet etc.
5. Analog and digital circuits and systems for speech, audio, image 
and 
    video processing. VLSI, ASIC, new architectures.
6. Implementations and applications: communications, medical, 
robotics, control, 
    broadcasting, multimedia.

A special session in honour of 32nd anniversary of Cooley-Tukey paper 
is planned. 

    SUBMISSION PROCEDURE
