CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
3RD ASIS SIG/CR CLASSIFICATION RESEARCH WORKSHOP


The American Society for Information Science Special Interest
Group on Classification Research (ASIS SIG/CR) invites
submissions for the 3rd ASIS Classification Research Workshop,
to be held at the 55th Annual Meeting of ASIS in Pittsburgh,PA.
The  workshop will take place Sunday, October 25th, 1992, 8:30
a.m. - 5:00 p.m.  ASIS `92 continues through Thursday, October
29th.

The CR Workshop is designed to be an exchange of ideas among
active researchers with interests in the creation, development,
management, representation, display, comparison, compatibility,
theory, and application of classification schemes. Emphasis will
be on semantic classification, in contrast to statistically based
schemes. Topics include, but are not limited to:


	Warrant for concepts in classification schemes * Concept
	acquisition * Basis for semantic classes * Automated
	techniques to assist in creating classification schemes *
	Statistical techniques used for developing explicit
	semantic classes * Relations and their properties *
	Inheritance and subsumption * Knowledge representation
	schemes * Classification algorithms * Procedural
	knowledge in classification schemes * Reasoning with
	classification schemes * Software for management of
	classification schemes * Interfaces for displaying
	classification schemes * Data structures and programming
	languages for classification schemes * Image
	classification * Comparison and compatibility between
	classification schemes * Applications such as subject
	analysis, natural language understanding, information
	retrieval, expert systems.

The CR Workshop welcomes submissions from various
disciplines.  Those interested in participating are invited to
submit a short (1-2 page single-spaced) position paper
summarizing substantive work that has been conducted in the
above areas or other areas related to semantic classification
schemes, and a statement briefly outlining the reason for
wanting to participate in the workshop. Submissions may include
background papers as attachments. Participation will be of two
kinds: presenter and regular participant. Those selected as
presenters will be invited to submit expanded versions of their
position papers and to speak to those papers in brief
presentations during the workshop. All position papers (both
expanded and short papers) will be published in proceedings to be
distributed prior to the workshop. The workshop registration fee
is $35.00, which includes lunch and refreshments.

Submissions should be made by email, or diskette accompanied
by paper copy, or paper copy only (fax or postal) to arrive by May
15, 1992 to:

                         CALL FOR VIDEOS

                Animation of Geometric Algorithms:
                          A Video Review

                      To be premiered at the

          Eighth Annual Symposium on Computational Geometry
                           June 10-12, 1992
                           Berlin, Germany


Videos are sought for a video review of geometric algorithms, to
be presented at the Eighth Annual ACM Symposium on Computational
Geometry, June 10-12, 1992, in Berlin, Germany.

BACKGROUND:  Geometric algorithms and data structures are often easiest
to understand visually, in terms of the geometric objects they
manipulate.  Indeed, most papers in computational geometry rely on
figures to communicate the intuition behind their results.  Algorithm
animation uses dynamic visual images to explain algorithms.  Thus
it is natural to present geometric algorithms, which are inherently
dynamic, via algorithm animation.

Algorithm animation has been used occasionally to supplement geometry
talks at conferences.  All the "workbenches" for implementing geometric
algorithms provide support for displaying the progress of the
algorithms graphically.  The 1992 ACM Symposium on Computational
Geometry will include a video review of geometric animations, including
single-algorithm animations and sample graphic displays from
workbenches.

SUBMISSIONS:  Authors are requested to send one copy of a videotape
to the organizers by May 5, 1992.  Each videotape must be accompanied
by a one- or two-page description of the algorithm(s) depicted and
the techniques used in animation and/or implementation.  Videotapes
should be no more than ten minutes long.  Please use care in preparing
your submission; because of time constraints, accepted videos and
descriptions will be published as submitted.

NOTIFICATION:  Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection
by May 20, 1992.

Accepted submissions will be edited onto one tape, which will be
shown continuously during the conference.  The video descriptions
will be collected in a pamphlet.  The video review and pamphlet will
be published; some copies will also be available at the conference.


For more information, please contact one of the organizers.

			HIGH PERFORMANCE MICROPROCESSORS

				Advanced 3-day course

					ERCIM
					MAY 12 - 14 , 1992
					ROCQUENCOURT, FRANCE


The purpose of this course is to teach engineers and researchers the principles and the
major impacts of the architectural revolution in microprocessors. The intent of the
course is not to be reserved to architecture specialists but also to provide end users
an understanding of that new technology, importance of which is expected to be much
broader than the advent of vector machines some years ago.

Day 1 - devoted to the presentation of the basic concepts of RISC architecture including
the software aspects, then some key examples of commercially available processors will
be detailed and compared.

Day 2 - will first focus on memory hierarchies which constitute a key component in the
new generation of microprocessors. In the afternoon, the emerging trends in architecture,
namely superscalar and superpipeline will be presented and some examples will be
analysed.

Day 3 - is targeted at advanced topics : first, the trends in VLSI technology will be analysed,
then a global overview taking into account the system aspects will be presented. The
third talk will tackle a key issue comparing RISC versus vector processors and finally
the future generation of transputers and their use will be presented.

Online documentation can influence a product's success. Customers won't use
a product they don't understand or they'll use it poorly. Yet creating
effective online documentation is rarely simple. That's why the Centre for
Professional Writing has organized Online Documentation Issues and Methods:
Second Conference on Quality in Documentation on May 14-16 1992.

The conference offers lectures, seminars, workshops and demonstrations over
three days, allowing attendees access to each scheduled event. Sponsors'
displays, demonstrations, and workshops assure exposure to the newest
products and techniques. Three day registration is $375.00 CDN.

Speakers include:
