* Parallel Processing and AI *
Parallel Processing and Artificial Intelligence are two key themes
which have risen to the fore of technology in the past decade. This
international conference brings together the two communities.
Communicating Process Architecture is one of the most successful
models for exploiting the potential power of parallel processing machines.
Artificial Intelligence is perhaps the most challenging applications for
such machines. This conference explores the interaction between these two
technologies.
The carefully selected programme of invited talks and submitted papers
brings together the very best researchers currently working in the field.
* Topics include *
Robotics Neural Networks Image Understanding
Speech Recognition Implementation of Logic Programming Languages
Information management The Japanese Fifth Generation Project

Subject: CFP Eurographics'90 Conference
Organization: CWI, Amsterdam
Call for Papers, Call for Tutorials and Call for State of the
Art Reports
EUROGRAPHICS '90
September 3-7, 1990
Montreux, Switzerland
Images: Synthesis, Analysis and Interaction
Call for Participation
(first announcement)
The EUROGRAPHICS Association is 10 years old in September 1990.
For the last 10 years, EUROGRAPHICS has served the European and
worldwide research community in computer graphics and its applications,
through the annual event, journal, workshop programme and other
activities.
In the past, EUROGRAPHICS conferences have concentrated in the main on
topics traditionally associated with computer graphics and human
computer interaction. EUROGRAPHICS '90 will continue to address such
topics.
For EUROGRAPHICS '90, a new theme of the conference will be the
relationship between image synthesis (traditionally the domain of
computer graphics) and image processing and computer vision.
It is now clear that there is overlap between image synthesis and image
analysis in both techniques and applications. For example, as computer
graphics is used more and more in the visualization of scientific and
engineering computations, so it looks likely that image processing
techniques will be used to help develop an understanding of the results.
Tutorials, state of the art reports and invited papers will address the
relationship between graphics and image processing, at both introductory
and advanced levels, and submitted papers are invited in this area.
CONFERENCE

INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS
Authors are invited to submit unpublished original papers related to
recent developments in computer graphics and image processing. Full
papers (maximum 5000 words) including illustrations, should be sent to
the Conference Secretariat by Nov. 15,1989. Authors should indicate
the topic area(s) they consider appropriate for the paper. The first
page should include the title, name of the author(s), affiliation,
address, telephone, telex, and telefax numbers, and electronic mail
address, together with an abstract (maximum 200 words). Papers with
multiple authors should clearly indicate to which author correspondence

The author of the Best Paper, selected by an international jury, will
receive the Gunter Enderle Award, which includes a cash prize. The best
three papers will be also published in an international journal.
Lectures will be given in English and all papers should be submitted
in English.

technical applications, art and real-time generated sequences. Entries
will be shown during the conference.
SLIDE COMPETITION
A competition will also be held for artistic images and scientific and
technical images submitted on 35mm slides. Prizes will be awarded for
the best entries and slides will be shown during the conference.
The closing date for submission to both competitions will be June 15,
1990. Entries should be sent to the Conference Secretariat. Rules for
