Journal of The Franklin Institute ENGINEERING AND APPLIED MATHEMATICS Volume 334B, 1997 List of Contents, Author and Subject Indexes @ PERGAMON \) Published on behalf of /j) The Franklin Institute, Philadelphia, U.S.A. Journal of The Franklin Institute ENGINEERING AND APPLIED MATHEMATICS REL, ON Aims and Scope of the Journal: The Journal of The Franklin Institute is a journal of electrical and computer engineering and the sciences that underlie them. Its focus is on information and communication systems, signal processing, wavelets, sensor fusion, computer and communication networks, neural networks, control theory, nonlinear dynamics, fractals, and chaos theory. The Editors and the Editorial Board realize that no description of this kind can be comprehensive. They encourage authors to put forth evolving new topics for publication provided they fall within the current scope of the journal as noted above. Special focus issues with a strong theoretical foundation in newly evolving topics are planned for the future. All submitted papers are peer-reviewed. The journal will publish original research papers and research review papers of substance. Papers are judged upon possible lasting value, which has been and continues to be the strength of the Journal of the Franklin Institute Publishing Office: Elsevier Science Ltd, Bampfyide Street, Exeter EX1 2AH, England [Tel.
