Session B: Electro-Optic Systems, Embedded Processing and Devices.

SEAS DTC:

Session C: Plenary Session

Session D: Sensor Exploitation / Communications & Control

Session E: Mission Planning & Decision-making / Systems Engineering research

Session F: Algorithms & Architectures / Propulsion, Power Generation & Energy Management

The two parallel EMRS DTC sessions will be held in the Sidlaw & Fintry Auditoria in the EICC. The session on RF Systems, Embedded Processing, Devices and Materials will be held in the Sidlaw auditorium. The Electro-Optic Systems, Embedded Processing and Devices session will be held in the Fintry Auditorium.

The SEAS DTC sessions will alternate between plenary sessions held in the main Pentland auditorium and three parallel theme based sessions held in the Lomond Suite rooms.

Who Should Attend?

The SEAS & EMRS DTC Annual Conference should be attended by:

Potential exploiters of SEAS & EMRS DTC funded research.

Potential providers of research to the SEAS & EMRS DTC programmes.

Members of :

The broad military and civil Electro-Magnetic Remote Sensing communities

The Autonomous Systems and Systems Engineering communities

On the evening of Tuesday 24th June 2008 a reception will be held for conference delegates in the Cromdale Hall of the EICC. This will afford delegates the opportunity to network with the broad community of interest that the two DTCs have brought together.

Dress code for the networking reception will be 'business wear'. We hope that all delegates will be able to join us.

A conference dinner will be held at Mansfield Traquair on the evening of Tuesday 24th June. Tickets for the conference dinner will be available as an additional cost item, purchased at the time of booking. Again, the dress code will be business wear.
