Call for papers Conference web site Pictures Call for papers. A volume on "Numerical Linear Algebra in Signals, Systems and Control" to be published by Springer-Verlag. The organizing committee of the conference on Numerical Linear Algebra in Signals, Systems and Control held in Kharagpur, India, January 2007 is pleased to announce that a special volume associated with the conference will be published in the series Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering by Springer-Verlag. A core of the volume will be based on the papers of invited speakers and participants of NLASSC as well as on several invited papers written by well-known experts. However, the volume is open to submissions of contributed papers by the authors who did not participate in NLASSC'07 if the papers are consistent with the scope of the meeting. The volume will be dedicated to Professor Biswa Nath Datta who was honored in an IEEE Banquet ceremony at NLASSC in appreciation to his interdisciplinary contributions, blending linear and numerical linear algebra with control and systems theory. The Scope The editors welcome two types of submissions: Original research papers relevant to the scope of the NLASSC area; Survey articles if they contain a state-of-the-art review of important directions of contemporary research. The editors welcome submissions of papers both by the authors who participated in the conference, and by those who did not. All papers will be refereed. Deadline: October 31, 2007. Editorial policy: Due to space limitations, it is recommended that papers be limited to 25 journal pages. Longer papers can be considered but authors should be aware that such papers are harder to referee and therefore take more time to review. Electronic submission of a manuscript. The prospective authors are invited to submit their contributions via email directly to any of the following five editors: Professor Shankar Bhattacharyya (Texas A & M University), Email: bhatt@ece.tamu.edu Professor Raymond Chan (Chinese University of Hong Kong), Email: rchan@math.cuhk.edu.hk Professor Paul Van Dooren, Editor-in-Chief (Universite Catholique de Louvain), Email: vdooren@csam.ucl.ac.be Professor Vadim Olshevsky (University of Connecticut) Email: olshevsky@math.uconn.edu Professor Aurobinda Routray (IIT Kharagpur) Email: aroutray@ee.iitkgp.ernet.in The number of the submitted files should be reduced to the bare minimum. Ideally, a submission would consist of one postscript or one PDF file. Final submission of the accepted manuscripts. Only papers which have been written in LaTeX2e using the Springer-Verlag style svmult.cls can be accepted. The file, instructions Springer reference guide can be obtained directly from the Springer web site ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/engigl/mult/. For your convenience, we provide these files for downloading here: svmult.cls. This is the Springer-Verlag class style. You should put it in the same directory containing your paper. Your paper should start with the first line \documentclass{svmult} author.tex. This is a LaTeX file with an example for the usage of the svmult.cls class file. The final versions of the papers should conform to the required format, and the editors expect that submitted files, after LaTeX'ing them, will produce ready-to-camera manuscripts. Springer requirements. Authors are requested to avoid causing any of the following recurrent problems: Using Scientific Workplace to produce the LaTeX file. Using non-American keyboard characters in the LaTeX file. This does not mean that the paper cannot be produced using a non-US keyboard, but instead that characters like, e.g., à should be typed as \`a. We request, that neither overfull nor underfull boxes are contained in the text, that equations do not exceed the indicated text width, and that hyphenations as well as the page breaks have been checked.
