Dear All,
it is now possible to register (or subscribing) to the The INSPIRE
statistics and signal processing conference at:
http://www.network-inspire.org/events/
(registration is open until 6:00pm of 8/Sept./2009).

The conference is free and that authors get free accommodation. The
remaining rooms will be given to attendees who did not contribute on a
first in, first served basis.
