======================================================================= ISCApad number 42 Dec. 4th , 2001 ======================================================================= Dear ISCA members, Welcome to ISCApad#42. It comes 20 days late due to a private life accident of the editor. As a consequence the amount of information is higher than usual. I apologize for that but December issue will certainly be thinner. The presentation is a little bit modified: concise information is displayed in the body of this mail while detailed information is in the attached files either .doc or .pdf. The regular date of issue will still remain the first week of each month. Do not forget to send the information you want to display for the members in time to be included (last week of each month). The purpose of ISCApad is to inform you about the life of your association and on the activities of the international speech science and technology community. TABLE OF CONTENTS ================= *ISCA News *Journals *Books *Education *Future events * Appended detailed informations. ======================================================================= ISCA NEWS ========= - Organizers of ITRW workshops and ISCA and ISCA supported conferences are also invited to publish a short report after the event. - Proceedings of the ITRW and ISCA-conferences can be ordered at the secretariat of ISCA info@isca-speech.org.
