SWP4 2 nd Meeting - 8 Dept.1 Meeting at ICAASP, Toulouse, May 15th Dear Supra Work Package Leaders, As mentioned a couple of months back, we'd like to take advantage of the upcoming ICASSP in Toulouse ( to organize a half-day Newcom Dept 1 meeting, tentatively Monday afternoon, May 15 (precise time and room to be communicated soon). If possible, we'd like to have one presentation from each supra work package, which may be an overview of activities, a new/important result, or a road map of the remaining months left on the project with the expected deliverables. Please confirm whether someone from each supra work package will be able to ensure one of the presentations. Thanks, Phil
