FIFTH WORKSHOP ON HUMAN AND MACHINE VISION June 15, 1989, Cape Cod, Massachusetts chairs: Jacob Beck, U. Oregon, Azriel Rosenfeld, U. Maryland SCOPE OF TOPICAL MEETING: In the last few years the availability of inexpensive image processing equipment has caused an upsurge of interest in real-time vision, and now groups all across the country are engaged in such projects. This meeting will focus on the results of these projects. We especially encourage research reports on new algorithms and techniques that are (1) already demonstrated on real imagery, and (2) have a computational complexity that makes real-time applications economically feasible within the next few years. Papers concerning implemented models of human visual processing are appropriate for this conference. Papers which are purely theoretical or purely application oriented are not appropriate for this meeting. Technical Committee: Ted Adelson (M.I.T.), Ruzena Bajcsy (U. Pennsylvania) Dana Ballard (U. Rochester), Peter Burt (SRI Sarnoff Research Center) Steve Case (Cyberoptics), Ramesh Jain (U. Michigan). WORKSHOP ON HUMAN AND MACHINE VISION: June 15, the day following the Topical Meeting, will be devoted to the Fifth Workshop on Human and Machine Vision. The workshop will consist of invited papers on models for human visual processes. There will be a separate, nominal registration fee for this workshop. SUBMISSION OF PAPERS: Each author is requested to submit a SUMMARY PAPER of no more than FOUR pages, including all figures and equations. Original figures or glossy photographs must be submitted, pasted into position on the summary pages. If accepted this summary will be reproduced directly by photo offset and be published in the meeting proceedings. The first page of the summary must begin with title, author, affiliation, and address. Authors must also submit a 25 word abstract on a separate sheet of paper, with the title at the top of the page in 12-point upper- and lower-case letters, followed by the authors name, affiliation, complete return address, and the body of the abstract. In the case of multiple authors each author's name and address should be listed separately after the title. If the paper is accepted this abstract will appear in the advance program. All abstracts and summaries must reach the Optical Society office by February 21, 1989. Send your paper to: Image Understanding Optical Society of America 1816 Jefferson Place NW Washington, DC 20036 (202) 223-0920 Authors will be notified of acceptance by mid April. REGISTRATION at the meeting is $220 for Optical Society members, $260 for non-members, $90 for students. Preregistration materials are available from the Optical Society, at the above address, before May 12, 1989. HOUSING will be at the Sea Crest Resort, North Falmouth, Cape Cod, MA., (508)540-9400. Convention rates will be $122.50/night single occupancy, $74.50 per person double occupancy. BOTH RATES INCLUDE ROOM, BREAKFAST, LUNCH, AND TAX, and include use of recreational facilities. All reservations, plus a $75 deposit check payable to the Sea Crest, must reach the hotel by MAY 10, 1989, and must note affliation with the Optical Society. Check-in time is 3:00 pm; rates apply June 10-17, 1989. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 Dec 88 12:43:51 PST From: Vision-List-Request Subject: repost Geometer and request for info A subscriber posted a message which specified the location of Geometer (a modeling package) on the UMASS FTP system.

Chapter of the ACM INTERFACES: Systems and People Working Together National Institute of Standards and Technology Gaithersburg, Maryland - August 24, 1989 No computer is an island. Increasingly, systems are being tied together to improve their value to the organizations they serve. This symposium will explore the theoretical and practical issues in interfacing systems and in enabling people to use them effectively. *** SOME TOPICS OF INTEREST FOR SUBMITTED PAPERS *** * HUMAN FACTORS * User interfaces Meeting the needs of handicapped users Conquering complexity Designing systems for people Intelligent assistants The human dimension of information interchange * SYSTEMS INTEGRATION * Communications networks Distributed databases Data standardization System fault tolerance Communications standards (e.g. GOSIP) * STRATEGIC SYSTEMS * Decision support systems Embedding expert systems in information systems Strategic info systems Computer Aided Logistics Support (CALS) * SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATION * Quality control and testing Designing a system of systems System management Conversion and implementation strategies Software tools and CASE Identifying requirements thru prototyping * ENABLING TECHNOLOGIES FOR APPLICATIONS PORTABILITY * Ada Database management Open software Open protocol technology Operating systems (e.g., POSIX) ==> DON'T BE LIMITED BY OUR SUGGESTIONS - MAKE YOUR OWN! Both experienced and first-time authors are encouraged to present their work. Papers will be refereed. A length of 10 to 20 double-spaced pages is suggested. Those presenting a paper are entitled to register for the symposium at the early advance registration rate. To propose special sessions or noncommercial demonstrations, please send three copies of an extended abstract to the Program Chairman at the address below. Note: A paper must include the name, mailing address, and telephone number of each author or other presenter. Authors of accepted papers must transfer copyright to ACM for material published in the Proceedings (excepting papers that cannot be copyrighted under Government regulations). The ACM policy on prior publication was revised in 1987. A complete statement of the policy appears in the November 1987 issue of Communications of the ACM. In part it states that "republication of a paper, possibly revised, that has been disseminated via a proceedings or newsletter is permitted if the editor of the journal to which it has been submitted judges that there is significant additional benefit to be gained from republication." *** SCHEDULE *** March 2, 1989 Please send five copies of your paper to the Program Chairman: Dr. Milton S.
