Upon review of your expertise in composite and nanotechnology of materials or chemistry/physics of materials/devices, and metals and concrete research, it gives me pleasure to invite you to orally present a paper at the coming 17th Annual International Conference on Composites or Nano Engineering, ICCE-17, July 26-31, 2009 in Hawaii, USA.. This is a truly “international” conference to be held in the USA, where the majority of the participants are from outside USA. The topics are broad to include almost all science and engineering, due to the emphasis of interdisciplinary research in nanotechnology.
The ICCE-17 Hawaii Call for Papers has received overwhelming responses of over 600 abstracts. The emphasis of the conference is to
(1) to learn the state of the art in hot topics where funding exists, such as Biomedical or Nano research on multifunctional materials and structures,
(2) provide a forum of exchange of ideas between Chemists, Physicists, Biologists, Engineers, mathematicians and mechanicians, to promote interdisciplinary approach to Nano/Biomedical/ Composites Technology,
(3) encourage participants to conduct interdisciplinary joint research and write joint research proposals
The venue hotel rate is being negotiated (prices falling due to recession), and the venue hotel and the island will be announced soon. The conference web is,

These ICCE-17 detailed abstracts will be reviewed and appear as short papers in World Journal of Engineering, upon payment of registration fee and attendance of ICCE-17. Further, “all” full length version of these short papers, with paper title change, will be reviewed and published in WJOE or in Composites B journal. Thus, all participants will have two journal papers as a benefit of coming to ICCE-17 Hawaii. Due to budgetary constraints, we are unable to offer financial assistance.
Looking forward to seeing you in Hawaii.

SCOPE OF CONFERENCE
The development of complex applications involving signal, communication, image and control processing, is classically divided into three consecutive steps: a theoretical study of the algorithms, a study of the target architecture, and finally the implementation.
Such a linear design flow is reaching its limits due to the ever increasing intrinsic complexity of each step, to intense pressure on the design cycle and to strict performance constraints. Moreover, new challenges to designer and developers rise with the new emerging CMOS technologies introducing massive multicore processor platforms and new heterogeneous designs.
The approach, called Algorithm-Architecture-Matching, aims to leverage the design flow by a simultaneous study of both algorithmic and architectural issues, taking into account, at all steps of the application developments, multiple design constraints, as well as algorithm and architecture optimizations.
Introducing new design methodologies is necessary when facing the new emerging technologies and applications such as, for example, advanced mobile communication systems or smart sensors based systems. This forms a driving force for the future evolutions of embedded system designs methodologies.
The research community in Europe addressing these issues is very active both in academy and industry. The goals of this Conference are to present the latest results in the domain of design and architecture for signal, communication and image processing and to initiate a regular meeting that intends to be a reference for European researchers addressing this topic.
The DASIP Conference will give the opportunity for researchers to exchange the ideas and to build the collaboration on emerging topics and technologies. It also aims to strength the links between the European Information Society Technologies (IST) priorities and the researchers in the domain of design and architecture for signal and image processing.
In the context of the architectures and tools for signal and image processing DASIP 2009 topics include but are not limited to:
Methods and tools for Algorithm-Architecture-Matching
- System level design and hardware/software codesign
- RTOS for embedded systems
- Formal models and transformations

Special Sessions and Demonstrations
A number of special sessions are planned during the Conference.
Example special sessions include the following:
- Design methodologies
- New architectures for signal and image processing
- Smart sensors
- Case studies dealing with signal and image processing implementations
Demonstrations are also welcome and we encourage Authors to present their work. A special time slot will be allocated during the Conference in order to allow participants to attend demonstrations.
Prospective organisers of special sessions should submit proposals
indicating:
- Title of the session
- Rationale of the need for the special session at DASIP 2009
- Short biography of the organizers
- List of contributed papers (including titles, authors, contact
information of the corresponding authors, and a short abstract of
each contribution). Organisers should not contribute more than one
paper.
- Preliminary full version of the overview paper is desirable.
If submitted, it enhances the chances of the proposal acceptance.
Proposals are due on or before March 10th, 2009 and should be sent via email (in either pdf or plain ascii text form). Proposals will be evaluated based on the timeliness of the topic, the qualifications of the organisers and the authors of the papers proposed in the session and the balance of the topics across the technical areas in DASIP 2009.
Notification of acceptance will be sent to the organisers May 15, 2009.
Authors of the papers included in successful proposals should submit a manuscript on or before July 10, 2009. Manuscripts should conform to the formatting and electronic submission guidelines of a regular DASIP paper. They will be submitted via the online submission link and undergo peer review.
======================================================================
Instruction for Authors
Electronic paper submission requires a full paper, up to 8 double- column IEEE format pages, including figures and references.
Demonstration papers should not exceed 1 double-column IEEE format page long. Document templates are available at the following address:
http://www.ecsi.org/dasip/.
A special issue in one of the EURASIP journals is planned after the Conference in order to publish the best papers of the Conference.
The main conference topics will define the editorial of a book on the state-of-the art and perspectives in the domain of Signal and Image Processing Architectures to be published by Springer Science + Business Media publisher after the event. The authors of selected papers submitted to DASIP will be invited to prepare an extended manuscript for publication in this book.
