1993 MATLAB CONFERENCE
The 1993 MATLAB Conference will be held October 18-20 at the Hyatt Regency
in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The technical program includes seven
primary talks, 15 expository talks, nine minicourses and nearly 150
contributed talks. There will also be a MATLAB Lab, an evening reception
at the Boston Computer Museum, and several special sessions.
Mid-October is a particularly nice time to visit New England.
A list of the talks and other events follows.

MATLAB Conference Minicourses
Minicourses, in the form of a teaching laboratory, will offer attendees the
opportunity to get a look at some of our recently released, and upcoming
products. Product developers will lead one-hour sessions that include product
introductions and problem sets. Minicourses will be offered on:
Nonlinear Control Design Toolbox
Handle Graphics, An Introduction
Handle Graphics, for the Guru
Symbolic Math Toolbox
An Introduction to SIMULINK
Chemometrics Toolbox
Statistics Toolbox
Mu Analysis & Synthesis Toolbox
Neural Network Toolbox
The MATLAB Lab
The MATLAB Lab is a computer area available to all attendees throughout the
Conference. With MATLAB products running on Unix, PC, and Mac systems, the
Lab will be a focal point of activity.
An Evening at the Boston Computer Museum
Conference attendees will be invited to a reception at the Boston Computer
Museum on Monday, October 18th. The museum will be closed to the public that
evening but attendees will have free admittance to museum exhibits.
The MATLAB Feedback session
Being held Monday afternoon, The MATLAB Feedback session is the ideal
opportunity for attendees to bring product-related issues up for discussion
with The MathWorks' top engineering developers and executive staff. This
session will give users a chance to discuss issues of concern to them in an
open question and answer format.
The International Forum
A special panel discussion on the internationalization/localization of the
MATLAB product family has been scheduled for Tuesday afternoon. This panel
will lead a general discussion of the needs of our international customers on
topics such as support for native language text, hardware platforms, software
products and support for native algorithmic conventions.
