The workshop will be held in Irvine, California March 20-22, 1989. Papers will be presented on all aspects of the analysis of motion in human and machine vision. The number of presentations will be limited to increase time for discussion in the spirit of a workshop. The proceedings will be published and will be available at the workshop. Papers presented at the workshop will cover the topics of object tracking, estimation of the parameters of object motion, motion constraint equations, estimation of the image flow velocity field, motion correspondence, psychophysical experiments on motion perceptions, structure from motion, visual navigation, and object discrimination in dynamic scenes. The program has been completed, so no additional papers or presentations can be scheduled. The deadline for early registration is February 17, 1989. Attendees can Register at the workshop site which is the Newport Beach Marriott. For further information contact: Brian G.

Keywords: TENCON '89. Organization: North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC CALL FOR PAPERS TENCON '89 (IEEE Region 10 Conference) SESSION ON OPTIMIZATION AND NEURAL NETWORKS November 22 -- 24, 1989 Bombay, India Under the auspices of the IEEE, the session organizers invite submission of papers for a session on "Optimization and Neural Networks". This session will focus on the interrelationship of neural networks and optimization problems. Neural networks can be seen to be related to optimization in two distinct ways: + As an adaptive neural network learns from examples, the convergence of its weights solves an optimiza- tion problem. + A large class of networks , even with constant we- ights , solves optimization problems as they settle from initial to final state. The areas of interest include but are not limited to: + Combinatorial optimization + Continuous optimization + Sensor integration ( when posed as an optimization problem) + Mean Field Annealing + Stochastic Relaxation Depending on the number and quality of the responses,this ses- sion may be split into multiple sessions, with one part focus- ing on optimizing the weight-determination process in adaptive nets,and the second one on using those nets to solve other pro blems. Prospective authors should submit two copies of an extended ab stract (not exceeding 5 pages , double spaced) of their papers to either of the organizers by March 31, 1989. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by May 15,1989.Photo-ready copy of the complete paper (not exceeding 25 pages double-spa- ced) must be received by Jul 15,1989 for inclusion in the pro- ceedings which will be published by the IEEE and distributed at the symposium.

Several days of focussed workshops will follow at a nearby ski area. Major categories and examples of subcategories for papers are the following: 1. Neuroscience: Neurobiological models of development, cellular information processing, synaptic function, learning, and memory. Studies and analyses of neurobiological systems and development of neurophysiological recording tools. 2. Architecture Design: Design and evaluation of net architectures to perform cognitive or behavioral functions and to implement conventional algorithms. Data representation; static networks and dynamic networks that can process or generate pattern sequences. 3. Learning Theory Models of learning; training paradigms for static and dynamic networks; analysis of capability, generalization, complexity, and scaling. 4. Applications: Applications to signal processing, vision, speech, motor control, robotics, knowledge representation, cognitive modelling and adaptive systems. 5. Implementation and Simulation: VLSI or optical implementations of hardware neural nets. Practical issues for simulations and simulation tools. Technical Program: Plenary, contributed, and poster sessions will be held. There will be no parallel sessions. The full text of presented papers will be published. Submission Procedures: Original research contributions are solicited, and will be refereed by experts in the respective disciplines. Authors should submit four copies of a 1000-word (or less) summary and four copies of a single-page 50-100 word abstract clearly stating their results by May 30, 1989. Indicate preference for oral or poster presentation and specify which of the above five broad categories and, if appropriate, sub- categories (for example, Learning Theory: Complexity, or Applications: Speech) best applies to your paper. Indicate presentation preference and category information at the bottom of each abstract page and after each summary. Failure to do so will delay processing of your submission.
