From: Hamid Arabnia <[log in to unmask]>
Dear Colleagues:
Three Call For Papers (PDPTA'99, CISST'99, & IC-AI'99)
Submission deadline for the draft papers
is March 1, 1999. The three conferences will be held
simultaneously (same dates and location) at Monte Carlo Resort,
Las Vegas, Nevada, USA (June 28 - July 1, 1999). Each conference
will have its own set of conference proceedings.
There is still time to propose technical sessions (in particular
for CISST'99 and IC-AI'99) - names of session proposers/chairs
will appear as Associate Editors of the conference proceedings.
Kindest regards,
Hamid R. Arabnia
General Chair, PDPTA'99/CISST'99/IC-AI'99

below) by the due date. E-mail and Fax submissions are also
acceptable. The length of the Camera-Ready papers (if accepted)
will be limited to 7 pages. Papers must not have been
previously published or currently submitted for publication
elsewhere.
The first page of the draft paper should include: title of the
paper, name, affiliation, postal address, E-mail address,
telephone number, and Fax number for each author. The first
page should also include the name of the author who will be
presenting the paper (if accepted), the conference in which

The conferences will be held in the Monte Carlo Resort
hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. This is a mega hotel
with excellent conference facilities and over 3000 rooms.
The hotel is minutes from the Las Vegas airport with free
shuttles to and from the airport. This hotel has many
vacation and recreational attractions, including:
waterfalls, casino, spa, pools & kiddie pools, sunning decks,
Easy River water ride, wave pool with cascades, lighted
tennis courts, health spa (with workout equipment, whirlpool,
sauna, ...), arcade virtual reality game rooms, nightly
shows, snack bars, a number of restaurants, shopping
area, bars, ... Many of these attractions are open 24
hours a day and most are suitable for families and children.
The negotiated hotel's room rate for conference attendees
is very reasonable ($79 + tax) per night (no extra charge
for double occupancy) for the duration of the conferences.
The hotel is within walking distance from most other
Las Vegas attractions (major shopping areas, recreational
destinations, fine dining and night clubs, free street
shows, ...).
For the benefit of our international colleagues: the state of
Nevada neighbors with the states of California, Oregon, Idaho,
Utah, and Arizona. Las Vegas is only a few driving hours away
from other major cities, including: Los Angeles, San Diego,
Phoenix, Grand Canyon, ...
EXHIBITION:
An exhibition is planned for the duration of the conferences.
We have reserved 20+ exhibit spaces. Interested parties
should contact H. R. Arabnia (address is given below).
All exhibitors will be considered to be the co-sponsors
of the conferences. Each exhibitor will have the opportunity
to include a two-page description of their latest products
in the conference proceedings of their choice (if submitted
by May 1, 1999).
