IVEC 2004

IVEC 2004 was a great success. With nearly 200 presented papers and attendance close to 400, there was a great deal of technical information exchange and discussion, and international attendance was very high. The IVEC 2004 committee particularly wishes to thank our chairman, Dr. Dan Goebel, and program chair, Dr. Carol Kory, for their outstanding support and attention to detail. It was their commitment that made the difference in IVEC 2004's excellence! The digest of conference abstracts is now available.
