   1996 International Workshop on Emergent Technologies 
          for Instrumentation and Measurements

             Como, Italy - 10-11 June 1996
=========================================================

Organized by the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement
Society (Technical Committee on Emergent Technologies)

                   CALL FOR PAPERS

This workshop is directed to create a unique synergetic
discussion forum on the emergent technologies and 
a strong link between the theoretical researchers and 
the practitioners in the application fields related 
to instrumentation and measurements. 
The two-days single-session schedule will provide the
ideal environment for in-depth analysis and discussions
concerning the theoretical aspects of the applications
and the use of new technologies in the practice.

Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit
papers concerning theoretical foundations, experimental
results, or practical applications related to the use of
advanced technologies for instrumentation and
measurements. 
Papers are sollicited on, but not limited to, the
following topics: neural networks, fuzzy logic, genetic
algorithms, virtual instruments, optical technologies,
laser, advanced digital signal/image processing,
advanced analog signal processing, wavelets, sensor
technologies, remote sensing, distributed systems, fault 
tolerance, adaptive systems.

Interested authors should submit an extended summary or
the full paper (limited to 20 double-spaced pages
including figures and tables) to the program chair by
January 15, 1996 (PostScript email or readable fax
submissions are strongly encouraged). Submissions should
contain: the corresponding author, affiliation, complete
address, possible fax and email addresses. Submission 
implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to
register and attend at the workshop and to 
present the paper. The corresponding author will be
notified by February 16, 1996. The camera-
ready version is limited to 10 one-column IEEE-book-
standard pages and is due by May 1, 1996.

The workshop will be held at the "A. Volta" Research 
Center - Villa Olmo, in Como, Italy. It is a two-hundred
years-old villa in the pleasant scenario of one of the 
most attractive lakes around the nothern Italy, near
Milan. Easy and frequent connections by train and airplane 
are available from Milan and all the main cities in Europe; 
flights from US and Asia arrive to the Malpensa 
international airport, connected by bus to Milan. 
The registration fee will be 120 US$, including lunches,
coffe breaks and one copy of the proceedings. Hotel 
reservation will be managed directly by the Research Center 
to provide highly discounted rates.
