The IMTC'94 Conference is the 10th edition of the annual conference organized
by the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society to provide a stimulating
forum for practitioners and scientists working in areas related to any kind
of measurements, theoretical aspects of mesurements, instruments for
measurements, and measurement processing.
Traditional topics are: Acoustics measurements, AI & fuzzy, Automotive &
avionic instrumentation, Calibrartion, Metrology & standards, Digital signal
analysis & processing, Digital and mobile communications, LSI analysis,
diagnosis & testing, Mixed analog & digital ASICs, Optic & fiber optic
measurement, Process measurements, Sensor & transducers, System
identification, Waveform analysis and measurements, A/D and D/A, Data
acquisition, Antenna & EMI / EMC, Biomedical instruments, Computer-based
measurements & software, Environment measurements, Microwave measurements,
Nuclear & medial instruments, Pressure & temperature measurements, Quality &
reliability, STM and imaging, Time and Frequency measurements.

To support presentation and discussion of emergent technologies, a special
session on Neural Instruments will be organized within IMTC'94.
Main goals are neural technologies for measurements, applications of neural
networks in measurement and instruments, design and implementation of neural
solutions for instrument's subsystems, neural subsystems for automatic
control, and neural subsystems for signal processing.

Authors are invited to submit one-page abstract (containing title, authors,
affiliations, and the session name "Neural Instruments" in the upper right
corner) and cover page (containing title, authors, affiliations, contact
author, full address of the contact author, telephone and fax number of the
contact author, and the session name "Neural Instruments" in the upper right
corner).
Submission must be received by the general chair (for authors from Europe and
North-America) or by the program chair (for authors from Asia and other areas)
by October 1st, 1993. Fax submissions are accepted.
An additional copy of the submission should be sent by e-mail or fax to the
coordinator of the session on Neural Instruments (this copy does not
substitute the formal submission to the general chair or the program chair).
Submission of a paper implies a willingness to attend at the conference and
to present the paper.
Notification of acceptance will be mailed by December 1st, 1993; camera-ready
papers are due by February 1st, 1994.

Authors of selected papers will also be invited to submit their papers for
consideration for the special IMTC/94 issue of the IEEE Transaction on
Instrumentation and Measurements.

For any additional information regarding the special session on Neural
Instruments, contact the session coordinator.

Session Coordinator for "Neural Instruments":
