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,

Summary: papers due 8/31/94

                              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.

Subject: Call for Papers for PSYCHE

                      	 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,

Subject: Announcement of a new discussion list: Psyche-D

           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 
LISTSERV@NKI.BITNET.

Subscriptions to the e-journal PSYCHE - as opposed to the discussion group - may 
be initiated by sending the "SUBSCRIBE PSYCHE-L Your Name" one-line command 
(without quotes) in the body of an electronic mail message to 
LISTSERV@NKI.BITNET. If you would like to have any further information regarding 
the electronic journal please contact the Executive Editor of PSYCHE:

Patrick Wilken 
E-mail: x91007@phillip.edu.au
