Workshop on Combining Multiple Strategies For Vision ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 4 Oct 89 09:19:18 BST From: alien%VULCAN.ESE.ESSEX.AC.UK@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU (Adrian F. Clark) Subject: Re: TOC for journals I am pleased to see the inclusion of machine-readable tables of contents for relevant journals. This is so useful that I am archiving them locally and forwarding them to other (non-Vision-List readers) in the UK and Europe. However, I would like to make two suggestions: o I urge you not to omit articles which do not appear to be vision-related. Apart from pedantic objections, there are many cases where solutions to problems which have no immediate application to vision (or, indeed, any other discipline) provide useful insights into one's own problems. Futhermore, there are a number of readers (such as myself) who are not working directly on vision, but apply image understanding techniques to other problems. o surely there is a case for distributing the contents lists in a format which allows easy insertion into some bibliographic database system? I would imagine that most readers produce papers by computer. Unix `refer' or BibTeX spring to mind. Since there are a number of widely-available tools for converting the former to the latter, `refer' might be better. Or perhaps some generic mark-up system, which can easily be converted into any particular format, would be the best. Adrian F.

[ Ed.: Several readers have echoed the first comment. Especially with regards to the J. Rob. & Auto. At the other end of the spectrum, I am concerned with reducing clutter on the List which undermines the focus of the List which discusses Vision issues. Feedback on TOC and how they are maintained over the next several months will better define where the line should be drawn. The second comment regarding TOC format has also been echoed by several readers. For now, I am posting the TOC in the format I receive them in. They are alternatively available in scribe format. A key advantage of the current form is that they are clear and easy to rapidly scan and selectively pull apart. Database formatted references (e.g., refer format) are much more difficult and time consuming to visually scan. Yet, I also appreciate the utility of maintaining a DB of relevant vision articles. These issues are still being considered, and will be deferred in the short run until an acceptable set of journals has been agreed uupon and stabilized. CVGIP will hopefully soon be brought on-line. I am attempting to include more neurobiological journals which address structure of biological vision systems as well. I am still trying to obtain electronic TOC for: Journal of the Optical Society of America: A, Spatial Vision, Vision Research, and perhaps (depending on reader interest), Trends in Neuroscience and Biological Cybernetics. Volunteers wishing to provide these TOC on a timely and consistent basis are sought. phil...] ------------------------------ Date: 05 Oct 89 18:48:26 GMT From: Thierry Pun Subject: Research positions at U-Geneva, Switzerland. AI and Vision Group, Computing Science Center University of Geneva, Switzerland We have THREE open positions, to be filled in as soon as possible, for RESEARCH ASSISTANTS IN COMPUTER VISION AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE The succesfull candidates will participate to our work in the context of the Swiss National Research Program PNR 23 "Artificial intelligence and robotics". The project concerns various aspects of the development of computer vision systems for robotic applications. The group currently consists of approximately 12 researchers, 6 in vision and 6 in AI. The AI and Vision group is part of the Computer Science Center, which comprises approximately 60 researchers. Research facilities are excellent. We offer advanced research with up-to-date computing facilities and a nice environment. Salary starts at 4'020 SFR per month (1 SFR has been recently oscillating between 1.6 and 1.8 US$). We wish to hire a research oriented student, holding a university degree in computing science or closely related field. The candidate must be oriented towards computer vision and/or artificial intelligence.
