ICASSP2000 Connections:

     On behalf of the ICASSP2000 Organizing Committee, we would like to invite you to join us in celebrating the 25th Silver Anniversary of ICASSP and the arrival of a new millennium in Istanbul, Turkey. ICASSP is the largest and most prestigious conference in signal processing, bringing together engineers and scientists from industry, academia, and government. Next year, it will take place at the Istanbul Hilton Hotel and Convention Center, between June 5-9, 2000.

As in previous years, ICASSP2000 will bring in first-rate exhibitors from all over the world, and we are expecting very strong industry participation. In addition, for the first time at ICASSP, we are planning a Job Fair initiative where participants from the industry will have the opportunity to conduct on-the-spot interviews and recruit prospective employees and consultants with DSP expertise.

As a complement to the traditional technical program, ICASSP2000 will once again feature sessions entitled Industry Technology Tracks, highlighting industrial aspects and applications of signal processing. Papers in this forum will cover both hardware and software issues in industrial signal processing. Strong preference will be given to industrial submissions describing innovative product implementations and solutions.

Starting the first week of September 1999, we have begun accepting electronic paper submissions through our website. Paper categories for the Industry Technology Tracks are listed below.

Dr. Ahmet Kirac and Dr. Erdal Paksoy
Industrial Technology Track Co-Chairs
