   ______________________________ICSLP______________________________________
 
       ICSLP unites researchers, developers, and clinicians for an exchange
       on a wide variety of topics related to the spoken language processing
       of humans and machines. Conference presentations range from basic
       acoustic phonetic research to clinically oriented speech training
       devices to speech-based natural language interfaces for man-machine
       interaction.  ICSLP 96 will feature technical sessions of both oral
       and poster format, plenary talks, commercial exhibits, and daily
       special sessions. In addition, satellite workshops will be held in
       conjunction with the conference in the areas of interactive voice
       technology, spoken dialogue, speech databases and speech I/O, and
       gestures and speech. A new emphasis for ICSLP 96 will be on the
       clinical applications of speech technology, including the use of
       speech technology based applications for persons with disabilities.

        The Applied Science and Engineering Laboratories of the University of
        Delaware will host a Workshop on Multimodal use of Gesture and Speech
        October 7 - 8, 1996. This Workshop will consider the integration of
        gesture and spoken language in intelligent human/computer interfaces,
        in advanced assisitve technology for individuals with disabilities, in
        telemanipulation and robotics systems, and in human
        conversation. Gestures including hand postures, dynamic arm movements,
        facial expression, and eye gaze will be considered along with more
        traditional lip shapes and handwriting movements. For further
        information, contact:
