Final Call for Participation

	  NONLINEAR DYNAMICS OF ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS

	    An International Specialist Workshop

		     organized by the

     Department of Measurement and Information Systems
	Technical University of Budapest, Hungary

		    in association with

		    the IEEE CAS Society 
   IEEE CAS Nonlinear Circuits and Systems Technical Committee 
 Hungarian National Committee for Technological Development (OMFB)
                   European Circuits Society


The sixth annual workshop on Nonlinear Dynamics of Electronic Systems
(NDES'98) will be hosted by the Department of Measurement and Information
Systems, Technical University of Budapest, in Budapest, Hungary, on
16--18 July, 1998.

The workshop will address theoretical and practical issues in  nonlinear
electronic devices, circuits and systems, with an emphasis on dynamic
behaviour, chaos and complexity. The official language of the workshop
will be English.

The technical programme will consist of plenary lectures by experts in
selected areas, along with papers and posters submitted by the participants.
The papers presented at the oral and poster sessions will be not 
distinguished in the Conference Proceedings. Every contributor of the
poster session entitled ``Nonlinear Signal Processing'' will have a few
minutes at a plenary session to present the main highlights of
his/her work.

Prospective authors should send five copies of camera ready manuscript 
formated according to the NDES'98 style file to:

			Dr. Geza Kolumban
	  Department of Measurement and Information Systems
		  Technical University of Budapest
		    H-1521 Budapest, HUNGARY

Background

NDES'98 is the sixth in a series of international specialist workshops on
Nonlinear Dynamics of Electronic Systems, the first of which took place
in Dresden in 1993. From its origins as the first technical meeting to
have taken place in the territory of the former East Germany, NDES has
blossomed into a truly international event, the largest of its kind in
Europe.

Following the first successful meeting in 1993, further workshops were
organized in 
		Krakow, Poland (1994), 
		Dublin, Ireland (1995),
		Seville, Spain (1996),
		and Moscow, Russia (1997).
NDES'98 will take place in Budapest, Hungary.

In each case, the venue was chosen by a standing Scientific Committee, 
taking into account bids from locations where there is local expertise
and interest in nonlinear dynamics, and a willingness by local volunteers
to organize the workshop. More than fifteen nationalities have been
represented each year, with participants coming from Europe, the US, and
Japan. The audience has grown steadily from fifty in 1993 to over one
hundred in 1997.

Objectives

The goal of NDES is to bring together engineers, mathematicians, and
physicists from across Europe in a low-cost informal setting to address
open nonlinear problems in Electronics. Recent successes of the NDES
workshops include advances in the theory of digital filters, sigma-delta
modulators and phase-locked loops, the development of computer-aided
analysis and synthesis tools for nonlinear systems, design rules for RF
oscillators, nonlinear signal processing techniques, novel chaotic
communications strategies, and nonlinear building blocks for analog signal
processing.

The technical programme of NDES consists of plenary lectures by experts in
selected areas, along with papers and posters contributed by the
participants.

The poster session entitled ``Nonlinear Signal Processing'' will provide a
forum for discussion of latest results in every aspects of nonlinear
signal processing. The papers presented at the oral and poster sessions
will not be distinguished in the Conference Proceedings. Every contributor
of the poster session will have a few minutes at a plenary session to
present the main highlights of his/her work.
