Tutorials
RadarCon09 will again feature a comprehensive set of optional tutorials in its Tutorials Program.
Presented by invited experts and world-renowned professionals, these tutorials explore radar and user topics, from science to systems, ranging from the introductory level to sophisticated, state-of-the-art applications.
Eighteen courses will be offered in two sessions of nine parallel lectures each, taking place before and after the main conference sessions and activities, on Monday, May 4 and Friday, May 8, 2009. Tutorials can be selected at the time of registration starting on December 15. Handouts will ensure that participants have reference material after the sessions.
