The University of South Florida in conjunction with the Universidad
de Aquino Bolivia, (UDABOL), under the main sponsorship of the
National Science Foundation, (NSF), and with the support of the
Ibero American Science and Technology Educational Consortium, (ISTEC),
are pleased to invite you to participate in the Pan-American Advanced
Studies Institutes Program (PASI). The PASI is titled “Internship
on Rapid System Prototyping Technologies with Focus on Digital
Signal Processing, Artificial Neural Networks, Communications,
Instrumentation and Control Systems”, which is to be held
at the Universidad de Aquino Bolivia, Cochabamba - Bolivia from
June 7th to June 19th, 2004.
The primary objective of the PASI Institute is to offer, within
the scope of the theory presented, applications that are related
to the Pan-American region. In addition the Institute will serve
as a forum to foster collaborative research among the participants
in areas such as Digital Signal Processing, Electronic Design Automation,
Neural Networks, Telecommunications, Instrumentation and Process
Control. The vision of this PASI Institute is that the participants
will return to their home institutions and incorporate the acquired
knowledge into their curricula and research programs. To facilitate
this task, all the electronic material developed for the Institute
such as course content, laboratories and course supportive materials
will be available at http://istec.eng.usf.edu.
A certificate of completion will be issued on June 19, 2004. In
order to obtain this certificate participants must attend and actively
participate in all the Institute’s sessions.
Funding to support a limited number of students in the Americas is available
that will include travel expenses, double occupancy lodging and meals. Preference
will be given to participants who meet the following criteria:
•
College/University professors from teaching Universities within
the United States and Latin American Institutions.
• Professors submitting a
statement letter from their College’s
Dean supporting the applicant’s plans to integrate
the acquired knowledge into the existing curricula and
or research
programs.
This letter must be in English, which will be the official
language of the institute.
•
Participants from institutions fully supporting additional applicants.
A letter from the institution must be e-mailed with the name of
the additional participants that the institution is committed to
fully support.
•
Professors who are willing to contribute during the Institute with

•
Graduate students with interests in the Pan American Region. A
letter must be e-mailed stating the participant's interest and

Industry participants may attend the workshop by covering their
own expenses and a registration fee of $ 750.00. Limited seats
are available for the PASI.
