Subject: announcement
CALL FOR PAPERS:
Optical Society Topical Meeting on
IMAGE UNDERSTANDING AND MACHINE VISION
June 12-14, 1989, Cape Cod, Massachusetts
chair: Alex Pentland, M.I.T.
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.

***** CALL FOR PAPERS AND PARTICIPATION *****
28th Annual Technical Symposium of the Washington, D.C. 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."
