International Conference on Systems Engineering

The 10th International Conference on Systems Engineering, ICSE'94, will take 
place at Coventry University and organised through the Control Theory and 
Applications Centre, an interdisciplinary research centre established by 
drawing together staff from the School of Engineering and the School of 
Mathematical and Information Sciences.

Scope of Conference

The Conference will cover the general area of Systems Engineering, with 
particular emphasis being placed on applications.  It is expected to include 
sessions on the following themes:
-    Adaptive Control and System Identification
-    Algorithms and Architectures
-    Control Theory and Industrial Applications
-    Educational Developments in Systems Engineering
-    Energy Efficiency and Environmental Systems
-    Image and Signal Processing
-    Manufacturing Systems
-    Modelling and Simulation
-    Rule Based Control and Fuzzy Decision Making
-    Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms in Control and Identification

Call for Papers 

Authors wishing to contribute to the Conference should submit an abstract 
(three copies) of their proposed contribution before 15 February 1994.  
The abstract should be typed and written in English.  Refereeing of abstacts
submitted before the deadline date will take place on a regular basis.  
This will allow early decisions to be taken and should assist authors in
their planning arrangements.  The Organising Committee would also welcome
proposals for arranged specialist sessions on a focused theme relevant to the 
Conference, each session consisting of up to six papers.  All papers presented 
will be considered for publication in the Journal 'Systems Science', published 
in Poland (in English).

Deadlines
-    Submission of abstracts            15 February 1994
-    Acceptance of papers                7 March 1994
-    Submission of full papers           1 June 1994

It is intended to have the Conference Proceedings available for participants.  
Consequently, deadlines for submission of papers should be strictly respected.

Preliminary Arrangements
-    Conference fees, provisionally estimated at 325 Pounds Sterling, inclues
     a copy of the Conference Proceedings, lunches on the 6th, 7th and 8th, 
     the Conference Banquet on the 6th, and a Civic Reception followed by the 
     Conference Dinner on the 7th.
-    Participants will have the option of being accommodated in the University
