Subject: Spectral sensitivities of color page scanners?
I'm working on computational models of color perception, and I have
scanned in a reproduction of typical stimuli used in color perception
research, using a 24 bit full page flatbed scanner.
Are the spectral sensitivities of these scanners typically matched to
NTSC standards or more to typical computer monitor standards? I'd
appreciate any detailed information on "typical" spectral
sensitivities for scanners, though I realize that "typical" may be
hard to define in this case.
Replies preferably by e-mail.
Thanks for any help,

CALL FOR PAPERS
CAIA-94
The Tenth IEEE Conference on Artificial Intelligence for Applications:
Developing Enabling Technologies and
Integrating AI into Application Solutions
Marriott Riverwalk - San Antonio, Texas
March 1-4, 1994
Increasingly, the role of AI in business and scientific applications is
that of one component in a complex system. Integrating AI with knowledge
sources and databases, user interfaces, and existing software is an
important aspect of advancing the application of AI to real world problems.
This year's conference will emphasize both the development of enabling AI
technology and the issues involved in the integration of this technology
into products and processes. We are also seeking innovative ideas for new
application areas and new research and technology transfer paradigms. Our
goal is to increase interaction between different communities and to
increase our understanding of how AI technology can be applied to real-
world problems.
With these goals in mind, two general kinds of papers are appropriate.
First are case studies of AI applications that address significant real-
world problems. These papers must (1) justify the use of the AI technique,
based on the problem and application requirements, (2) explain how the AI
technology contributed to the solution and was integrated with other
components, and (3) describe the status of the implementation.
Second are papers on novel AI techniques and principles that may enable
more ambitious real-world applications. All the usual AI topics are
appropriate. These papers must (1) describe the importance of the approach
from an applications context, (2) describe the work in sufficient technical
detail and clarity, (3) clearly and thoroughly differentiate the work from
previous efforts.
While finished work is important, one major role for this conference is as
a forum for exchanging ideas. For this reason, well-written reports on
work-in-progress and descriptions of innovative partial implementations are
encouraged. In fact, we hope to structure CAIA-94 in several ways to
facilitate communication between researchers and practitioners. First, we
will include invited speakers on various appropriate topics, of both
technical and more general scope. Second, panel sessions are very important
in an inter-disciplinary area and will be a key feature of CAIA-94. Third,
CAIA will include a mix of introductory and advanced tutorials and a small
workshop program oriented towards wide participation. Other, more novel
forums such as evening discussion sessions may be tried.
Papers should be limited to 5000 words and papers significantly longer that
this will not be reviewed. Accepted papers will be allotted seven pages in
the conference proceedings, and the best papers will be considered for a
special issue of IEEE Expert to appear late in 1994. Awards will be
presented to the best paper and best student paper at the conference.
The first page of the paper must contain the following information (where
applicable) in the order shown:
* Title.
* Author's name and affiliation (specify student status).
* Contact information (name, postal address, phone and email address).
* Abstract: A 200 word abstract that includes a clear statement describing
the paper's original contributions and what new lesson is imparted.
* AI topic: One or more terms describing the relevant AI areas, e.g.
knowledge acquisition, explanation, diagnosis, etc.
* Domain area: One or more terms describing the problem domain area, e.g.
mechanical design, factory scheduling, education, medicine, etc.
* Language/Tool: Underlying programming languages, systems and tools used.
* Status: Development and deployment status, as appropriate.
* Effort: Person-years of effort put into developing the particular aspect
of the project being described.
* Impact: A 20 word description of estimated or measured (specify) benefit
of the application developed.
In addition to papers, we will be accepting the following types of
submissions:
* Proposals for Panel Discussions. Provide a brief description of the topic
(1000 words or less). Indicate appropriateness for this conference, the
membership of the panel and interest in organizing/moderating the
discussion.
* Proposals for Tutorial Presentations. Proposals for three hour tutorials
of both an introductory and advanced nature are requested. Tutorials
which analyze classes of applications in depth or examine techniques
appropriate for a particular class of applications are of particular
interest. Include a detailed topic outline, a half-page synopsis of the
focus, topics, a list of benefits to the audience, and a full
professional vita.
* Proposals for Workshops. Proposals are sought for one day workshops to be
held in conjunction with the conference. These workshops should avoid
having too narrow a scope (such as "AI in Radiology"); rather, they
should be designed to foster communication between both experts and
interested newcomers about a broad application area (for example,
"Applications of AI to Software") or address a concern that covers many
applications (for example, "Issues in Technology Transfer"). Include a
one-page description of the workshop and a small organizing committee.
Important Dates
* August 31, 1993: Four copies of papers, and three copies of all other
proposals are due to the program chair at the address listed below (no
electronic submissions).
* October 15, 1993: Author notifications mailed.
* December 14, 1993: Accepted papers and tutorial notes due to IEEE.
* March 1, 1994: Conference tutorial program and workshops.
* March 1-4, 1994: Conference technical program.

CALL FOR PAPERS
PSYCHE: an interdisciplinary journal of research on consciousness
You are invited to submit papers for publication in the inaugural issue of
PSYCHE: an interdisciplinary journal of research on consciousness
(ISSN: 1039-723X).
PSYCHE is a refereed electronic journal dedicated to supporting the
interdisciplinary exploration of the nature of consciousness and its
relation to the brain. PSYCHE publishes material relevant to that
exploration from the perspectives afforded by the disciplines of Cognitive
Science, Philosophy, Psychology, Neuroscience, Artificial Intelligence and
Anthropology. Interdisciplinary discussions are particularly encouraged.
PSYCHE publishes a large variety of articles and reports for a diverse
academic audience four times per year. As an electronic journal, the usual
space limitations of print journals do not apply; however, the editors
request that potential authors do not attempt to abuse the medium. PSYCHE
also publishes a hardcopy version simultaneously with the electronic
version. Long articles published in the electronic version may be
abbreviated, synopsized or eliminated from the hardcopy version.
_Types of Article_
The journal publishes from time to time all of the following varieties of
articles. Many of these (as indicated below) are peer reviewed; all of them
are reviewed by editorial staff.
Research Articles report original research by the author(s). Articles may
be either purely theoretical or experimental or some combination of the two.
Articles of special interest occasionally will be followed by a selection of
peer commentaries. Peer reviewed.
Survey Articles report the state of the art in some area(s) of research.
These may be done in the form of a literature review or annotated
bibliography. More ambitious surveys will be peer reviewed.
Discussion Notes critique previous research. Peer reviewed.
Tutorials introduce a subject area relevant to the study of consciousness to
non-specialists.
Letters provide an informal forum for expressing opinions on editorial
policy or upon material previously published in PSYCHE. Screened by the
editorial staff.
Abstracts summarise the contents of recently published journal articles,
books, and conference proceedings.
Book Reviews give an indication of the contents of recent books and evaluate
their merits as contributions to research and/or as textbooks.
Announcements of forthcoming conferences, paper submission deadlines, etc.
Advertisements of immediate interest to our audience will be published:
grants available; positions available; journal contents; proposals for joint
research; etc.
_Notes for Authors_
Unsolicited submissions of original works within any of the above categories
are welcome. Prospective authors should send articles directly to the
executive editor. Submissions should be in a single copy if submitted
electronically or four (4) copies if submitted by mail. Submitted matter
should be preceded by: the author's name; address; affiliation; telephone
number; electronic mail address. Any submission to be peer reviewed should
be preceded by a 100-200 word abstract as well. Note that peer review will
be blind, meaning that the prefatory material will not be made available to
the referees. In the event that an article needs to be shortened for
publication in the print version of PSYCHE the author will be responsible
for making any alterations requested by the editors.
Any figures required should be designed so as to be in screen-readable
ASCII. If that cannot be arranged, figures should be submitted as separate
postscript files so that they can be printed out by readers locally.
Authors of accepted articles assign to PSYCHE the right to publish the text
both electronically and as printed matter and to make it available
permanently in an electronic archive. Authors will, however, retain
copyright to their articles and may republish them in any forum they want so
long as they clearly acknowledge PSYCHE as the original source of
publication.
_Subscriptions_
Subscriptions to the electronic version of PSYCHE may be initiated by
sending the "SUBSCRIBE PSYCHE-L FirstName LastName" one-line command
(without parentheses) in the body of an electronic mail message to
LISTSERV@NKI.BITNET.
Yours sincerely,
Patrick Wilken

ANNOUNCEMENT OF A NEW DISCUSSION LIST: PSYCHE-D
PSYCHE is a refereed electronic journal dedicated to supporting the
interdisciplinary exploration of the nature of consciousness and its relation
to the brain. PSYCHE publishes material relevant to that exploration from the
perspectives afforded by the disciplines of Cognitive Science, Philosophy,
Psychology, Neuroscience, Artificial Intelligence and Anthropology.
Interdisciplinary discussions are particularly encouraged.
A new discussion list PSYCHE-D has been created to aid people that are
interested in the subject of consciousness. It is hoped that it will allow
members to share ideas, do common research and so on. PSYCHE-D will also be
used to discuss articles that appear in the journal of the same name, but in
addition members are invited to speak on other related themes.
To subscribe, just send the command:
SUBSCRIBE PSYCHE-D Your Name
to
LISTSERV@NKI.BITNET
For general information on LISTSERV send the command "INFO PR" or "INFO ?" to
