March 13-15 Submarines & Their Combat Systems This course underwent major revi- sion with updated data in July 2004. It was then formatted as an animated, full-color Power-Point Presentation. This course presents the fundamental philosophy of submarine design, con- struction, and stability as well as the utilization of submarines as cost- effective warships at sea. A thumbnail history of waging war by coming up from below the surface of the sea relates prior gains-and, prior set- backs. http://www.aticourses.com/sub- marines_and_combat_systems.htm March 27-29, 2007 MCE Deepwater Development 2007 Hosted by BP, the conference will be a focused oil & gas event in Europe, where executives from Operators and Contractors meet to share lessons learned, present new technology and discuss contractual and operational issues to move the industry forward.

Organized in part- nership with the Association of Marine Scientific Industries and host- ed by the National Oceanography Center, Southampton. http://www.oceanbusiness2007.com April 3-5, 2007 Sonar Signal Processing This intensive short course provides an overview of sonar signal process- ing. Processing techniques applicable to bottom-mounted, hull-mounted, towed and sonobuoy systems will be discussed. Spectrum analysis, detec- tion, classification, and tracking algo- rithms for passive and active systems will be examined and related to design factors. The impact of the ocean environment on signal process- ing performance will be highlighted. Advanced techniques such as high- resolution array-processing and matched field array processing, advanced signal processing tech- niques, and sonar automation will be covered. http://www.aticourses.com/sonar_sig- nal_processing.htm April 12-13, 2007 Coastal Environmental Sensing Networks On April 12-13, 2007, the University of Massachusetts Boston Center for Coastal Environmental Sensing Networks will hold this two- day conference on extracting, process- ing, and utilizing information gath- ered from the coastal environment using sensor networks. The deadline for abstracts is January 31, 2007.

The new date is September 5-7, 2007. This change was made to ensure maximum attendance and participation at OTE. "Feedback to the new date was tremendous at UI last week and everyone is looking forward to starting the "show season" in New England this year", said Rob Howard, Show Director. Mark your calendars now to attend the premier international exposition and training event in North America targeting ocean science and technology; marine environmental engineers; govern- ment agencies and commercial interests at the Providence Convention Center located in the heart of Providence, Rhode Island. Exhibit space is selling briskly. Seminars and training programs are lining up. The 1st annual OceanTech Expo is a unique, industry- led exposition that will feature new equipment, training and live demonstrations of the most current technology available to the growing ocean technology and marine science industry in North America. OceanTech will bring exhibitors and attendees together in an interactive, "hands-on" environment to share and learn about the most current technology available from this industry.
