IEEE WORKSHOP ON MOTION

With a selection of papers intended to reflect the state of the art in
computational theories of motion perception, provide recent results
from psychophysical experiments, and discuss attempts to incorporate
motion algorithms in pratical applications, the IEEE Workshop on
Motion will bring together researchers from computer vision,
artificial intelligence, and psychophysics to discuss current work on
the representation and analysis of motion in image sequences.  The
workshop will be held in Irvine, California March 20-22, 1989.  Papers
will be presented on all aspects of the analysis of motion in human
and machine vision.  The number of presentations will be limited to
increase time for discussion in the spirit of a workshop.  The
proceedings will be published and will be available at the workshop.

Papers presented at the workshop will cover the topics of object
tracking, estimation of the parameters of object motion, motion
constraint equations, estimation of the image flow velocity field,
motion correspondence, psychophysical experiments on motion
perceptions, structure from motion, visual navigation, and object
discrimination in dynamic scenes.

The program has been completed, so no additional papers or
presentations can be scheduled.  The deadline for early registration
is February 17, 1989.  Attendees can Register at the workshop site
which is the Newport Beach Marriott.  For further information contact:

                           CALL FOR PAPERS

                TENCON '89 (IEEE Region 10 Conference)

                               SESSION
                                  ON
                    OPTIMIZATION AND NEURAL NETWORKS

                       November 22 -- 24, 1989
                            Bombay, India



	Under the  auspices of the IEEE, the session organizers invite
	submission of papers for a session on "Optimization and Neural
 	Networks". This session will focus on the interrelationship of
	neural networks and optimization problems. Neural networks can 
	be seen to be related to optimization in two distinct ways:

	  +  As  an adaptive neural network learns from examples,
	     the convergence of its weights  solves an  optimiza-
	     tion problem.

	  +  A large  class of  networks , even with constant we-
	     ights , solves  optimization problems as they settle 
	     from initial to final state.

	The areas of interest include but are not limited to:

	  +  Combinatorial optimization

	  +  Continuous optimization

	  +  Sensor  integration ( when posed as an  optimization 
	     problem)

	  +  Mean Field Annealing

	  +  Stochastic Relaxation


	Depending on the number and quality of the responses,this ses-
	sion may be split into multiple sessions, with one part focus-
	ing on optimizing the weight-determination process in adaptive
	nets,and the second one on using those nets to solve other pro
	blems.

	Prospective authors should submit two copies of an extended ab
	stract (not exceeding 5 pages , double spaced) of their papers
	to either of the organizers by March 31, 1989. Authors will be
	notified of acceptance or rejection by May 15,1989.Photo-ready
	copy of the complete paper (not exceeding 25 pages double-spa-
	ced) must be received by Jul 15,1989 for inclusion in the pro-
	ceedings which will be  published by the IEEE and  distributed 
	at the symposium.

                            IEEE Conference on

                   Neural Information Processing Systems
                         - Natural and Synthetic -

             Monday, November 27 -- Thursday November 30, 1989
                             Denver, Colorado


     This is the third meeting of a high  quality,  relatively  small,
     inter-disciplinary     conference     which    brings    together
     neuroscientists,  engineers,   computer   scientists,   cognitive
     scientists,  physicists,  and  mathematicians  interested  in all
     aspects of neural processing and computation.   Several  days  of
     focussed  workshops  will  follow  at  a  nearby ski area.  Major
     categories and examples  of  subcategories  for  papers  are  the
     following:

     1. Neuroscience: Neurobiological models of development,  cellular
     information  processing, synaptic function, learning, and memory.
     Studies and analyses of neurobiological systems  and  development
     of neurophysiological recording tools.

     2.  Architecture   Design:   Design   and   evaluation   of   net
     architectures to perform cognitive or behavioral functions and to
     implement conventional algorithms.  Data  representation;  static
     networks  and  dynamic  networks  that  can  process  or generate
     pattern sequences.

     3. Learning Theory Models of  learning;  training  paradigms  for
     static    and   dynamic   networks;   analysis   of   capability,
     generalization, complexity, and scaling.

     4.  Applications:  Applications  to  signal  processing,  vision,
     speech,   motor   control,  robotics,  knowledge  representation,
     cognitive modelling and adaptive systems.

     5. Implementation and Simulation: VLSI or optical implementations
     of  hardware  neural  nets.  Practical issues for simulations and
     simulation tools.


     Technical Program: Plenary, contributed, and poster sessions will
     be  held.  There  will  be no parallel sessions. The full text of
     presented papers will be published.

     Submission  Procedures:  Original  research   contributions   are
     solicited,  and  will  be  refereed  by experts in the respective
     disciplines.  Authors should submit four copies  of  a  1000-word
     (or  less)  summary  and four copies of a single-page 50-100 word
     abstract clearly stating their results by May 30, 1989.  Indicate
     preference  for  oral or poster presentation and specify which of
     the above  five  broad  categories  and,  if  appropriate,   sub-
     categories   (for   example,   Learning  Theory:  Complexity,  or
     Applications:  Speech)  best  applies  to  your  paper.  Indicate
     presentation preference and category information at the bottom of
     each abstract page and after each summary. Failure to do so  will
     delay  processing  of your submission.  Mail submissions to Kathy
     Hibbard, NIPS89 Local Committee, Engineering Center,  Campus  Box
     425, Boulder, CO, 80309-0425.
