Subject: Matrox's image series 1280 board wanted
We are looking for new or used working Matrox's image series 1280
board with 4 Megabyte CPU memory. We are willing to pay substantive
reasonable price for it. If you have one, please contact me as soon
as possible. We would like to get it as soon as possible for our in
house development project. We need about 4 of them by the middle of
January 94.

Subject: African coast curve
I am doing some work on the Gaussian smoothing on planar curves and I
need the original data of the african coast curve as shown in F.
Mokhtarian and A. Mackworth's paper ("A Theory of Multiscale,
Curvature-based Shape Representation for Planar Curves", IEEE
Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, Vol. 14 No.
8, August 1992). Is there anybody who can kindly send them as an
array of (x,y) coordinates? Thanks in advance.

COMPUTATIONAL NEUROSCIENCE: VISION -- July 1-14, 1994
David J. Heeger, Stanford University
J. Anthony Movshon, New York University
Eero Simoncelli, University of Pennsylvania
Computational approaches to neuroscience have produced important
advances in our understanding of neural processing. Prominent
successes have come in areas where strong inputs from neurobiological,
behavioral and computational approaches can interact. Through a
combination of lectures and hands-on experience with a computer
laboratory, this intensive course will examine several areas,
including feature extraction, motion analysis, binocular stereopsis,
color vision, higher level visual processing, visual neural net-
works, and oculomotor function. The theme is that an understanding of
the com- putational problems, the constraints on solutions to these
problems, and the range of possible solutions can help guide research
in neuroscience. Students should have experience in neurobiological
or computational approaches to visual processing. A strong background
in mathematics will be beneficial.
Past lecturers have included: Edward Adelson, Richard Andersen,
Heinrich Bulthoff, Robert Desimone, Rudiger von der Heydt, Ellen
Hildreth, Peter Lennie, Stephen Lisberger, Jitendra Malik, John
Maunsell, Suzanne McKee, Michael Morgan, Ken Nakayama, William
Newsome, Tomaso Poggio, Terrence Sejnowski, David Sparks, Shimon
Ullman, and Brian Wandell.
The cost for tuition, room and board is $1,660. Full or partial scholar-
ship funds are available for qualified applicants. The deadline for applica-
tion is March 15, 1994. For applications and additional information contact:

P A P E R S
You are invited to submit an original research paper that represents a
significant contribution to any aspect of AI, including the principles
underlying cognition, perception, and action in humans and machines;
the design, application, and evaluation of AI algorithms and
intelligent systems; and the analysis of tasks and domains in which
intelligent systems perform. Theoretical and experimental results are
equally welcome. Papers describing innovative ideas are especially
sought providing such papers include substantial analysis of the
ideas, the technology needed to realize them, and their potential
impact.
Of special interest this year are papers which address applied AI. Two
kinds of papers are sought. The first category is case studies of AI
applications that address significant real-world problems and which
are used outside the AI community itself; these papers must justify
the use of the AI technique, explain how the AI technology contributed
to the solution and was integrated with other components, and most
importantly explain WHY the application was successful (or perhaps why
it failed) -- these "lessons learned" will be the most important
review criteria. The second category is for 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 describe the importance of the approach from an application
context, in sufficient technical detail and clarity, and clearly and
thoroughly differentiate the work from previous efforts. There will be
special prizes for the best papers in both these areas. In addition to
these prizes, a prize for the best paper as determined by the
Programme Committee will be awarded; the Digital Equipment Prize and a
prize for the best paper from Eastern Europe will also be awarded.
Details of the requirements and format for the submission of papers
can be found in the call for papers, obtainable from the Conference
Office or by anonymous FTP from agora.leeds.ac.uk, file:
ECAI94/cfp.txt. Papers must be received by the Programme Chairperson
no later than January 8, 1994.
PANELS
Proposals for panel discussions (up to 1000 words) should be sent
to the Programme Chairperson by February 8, 1994. E-mail is
preferred.
VIDEO SUBMISSIONS
Videos unaccompanied by papers may be submitted for presentation
in special video track sessions. The purpose of these videos
should be to demonstrate the current levels of usefulness of AI
tools, techniques and methods. Videos presenting research arising
out of interesting real-world applications are especially sought.
Details of how to submit a video tape are given in the full
version of the call for papers available from the Conference
Office or by anonymous ftp from agora.leeds.ac.uk, file:
ECAI94/cfp.txt. The deadline for submission is the same as that
for papers.
INFORMATION ON OTHER ECAI'94 ACTIVITIES
WORKSHOPS
A full workshop programme is planned for ECAI '94. This will take
place in the two days immediately before the main technical
conference, i.e., on August 8 and 9, 1994. They will give participants
the opportunity to discuss specific technical topics in a small,
informal environment, which encourages interaction and exchange of
ideas.
Details of all workshops will be available by anonymous FTP from
cs.vu.nl, directory /pub/ecai94 by January 31, 1994; or via electronic
mail to ecai94-workshops@cs.vu.nl. It should be noted that
registration for the main conference will be required in order to
attend an ECAI '94 workshop.
TUTORIALS
A full tutorial programme will take place on August 8 and 9,
1994. Extended tutorial information can be obtained by anonymous
FTP from swi.psy.uva.nl, directory/pub/ecai94.
ECCAI GRANT
The ECCAI Board has established a grant for East European
researchers. Persons interested in a grant are invited to contact
