PURPOSE
The International Conference on Modelling and Simulation (MS 2001),
sponsored by IASTED, is a major forum for scientists, engineers, and
practitioners throughout the world to present their latest research,
results, ideas, developments and applications in all areas of signal and
image processing.  It aims to strengthen relations between industry,
research laboratories, and universities.  MS 2001 will be held at the
Holiday Inn Select near downtown Pittsburgh.  It will include keynote
addresses, contributed papers, tutorials, and workshops.

SCOPE: The topics covered will include, but are not limited to:
