Although not ready yet, we are implementing a general email address for
DECUS inquiries (it will be information@decus.org). I'll post here when
it is ready, but I know it will help netlanders send in requests for
member application forms, queries about DECUS products, etc. It will not
be a technical resource but one for getting information about DECUS. In
addition, as Jeff has mentioned there will be an account (a no charge
account reachable via 800# or thru telnet) to browse thru abstracts of
seminars and symposiums. Being worked on!

Marc E. Fiuczynski -- a IEEE-CS member to be.  I tend to agree with
John Goble that the IEEE standards should be made publically available
via the internet.

It is interesting to find out that the membership has no say in how
specific services are offered.  Helping people in `our' field
understanding the various standards defined by IEEE will help the
advancement of `our' field.  Isn't that what IEEE attempts to do?

In the defense of the IEEE policy on selling standards, it's worth
pointing out that the proceeds from such sales support the IEEE
standards program.  In some respects, I don't mind the IEEE selling
the standards, but I think they cost too much.  

Many of us in the POSIX 'business' were outraged by the price of
$45.00 for the P1003.1 interpretations document.  This works out to
more than $1.00 per page!

I understand that the IEEE needs to support itself. If they don't want to give
standards away, why don't they at least make them electronically accessible
via something like Compu$erve where we could be assured of getting the latest
data and have the advantages of on-line search. The current policy seems to
be self defeating. Paper is an obsolescent medium for high technology data
interchange IMHO. CDROM is somewhat better, but is slow, and mainly suitable
for reference data. It also forces the user to take everyhing.

Actually MetaCard *has* been released.  You can anonymously FTP a
save-disabled distribution from ftp.metacard.com (directory MetaCard)
or from world.std.com (directory pub/MetaCard).  We can also email
uuencoded distributions, or mail a floppy (free, of course).  Mail to
info@metacard.com to arrange these last two.

Six engines are available: SPARC, Sun3, DECstation, HP-9000/300,
HP-9000-700, and SCO ODT.  The stacks are portable across platforms.
The cost is $495 for a single user, $2500 for a 10 pack.  Larger site
licenses are available, see the BLURB.txt file on the FTP sites for
details.

Back to the original posters request, MetaCard can import and display
color and monochrome images, but can't import or display PostScript.
You could write an external to do this, however (MetaCard's external
call mechanism is compatible with that of Apple/Claris HyperCard).  If
you need to handle PostScript, check out HyperLook, which uses
PostScript as its scripting language.  It's reportedly as powerful as
MetaCard, but is not portable and is much harder to use.

The HyperLook runtime system is availiable for free via anonymous ftp,
from the following systems:

ftp.uu.net (137.39.1.9)     graphics/NeWS/HyperLook1.5-runtime.tar.Z
turing.com (192.133.90.28)  pub/HyperLook1.5-runtime.tar.Z

Subject: ISSNNet Elections - Nomination
Organization: George Mason University, Fairfax Va.
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 1992 03:34:35 GMT

My name is James W Conley, I have been nominated for the office of Vice 
President of ISSNNet.  The follow will briefly outline my interests and 
qualifications for this office.  In accordance with the ISSNNet bylaws, 
I request that readers submit nominations in support of my candidacy.

QUALIFICATIONS

-     Ph.D. Candidate, Info Tech, George Mason University, Present
-     M.S., Computer Science, University of New Haven, 1988
-     B.S., Physics, Pennsylvania State University, 1980

-     Unrestricted Line Officer, United States Navy, 1980 - 1985
-     Principle Analysts, AI group, Sonalyst Inc., 1985 - 1988
-     Peace Corps, Volunteer, 1988
-     Sr. Software Engineer, R&D group, PRC Inc., 1988 - Present

-     12 years of leadership positions and responsibilities in a team 
work environment.

My academic research is in the areas of AI, Machine Learning, and Neural 
Networks.  My Ph.D. thesis will address the application of neural 
networks for pattern recognition which feeds into a higher level 
strategic planner.  Machine learning, in the form of Genetic Algorithms, 
will be used to develop a strategic plan based on a set of scenarios.

INTEREST IN ISSNNet

As Vice President, I will support the President and help implement the 
policies of the Governing Board.  A personal goal will be the 
advancement and growth of the ISSNNet membership.  I feel that the 
natural method for growth is by making the ISSNNet a catalyst for 
information and contacts that are useful for graduate students 
interested in Neural Networks.  We all believe that there are no "Dumb 
Questions".  However the frequently sought after information, necessary 
for a student in the first few years of Neural Network research, could 
fill volumes.

MORE INFORMATION

If you have more information regarding the election of officers, please 
contact Andy Worth at :

My name is Andy Worth, and I'm running for the ISSNNet office of
Director.  This message is to allow me to describe myself to you and
ask for supporting nominations.

I will be finishing up a Ph.D. in the Cognitive and Neural Systems
Department at Boston University within a year.  As per ISSNNet bylaws,
an ex-student can hold office for up to one year after graduating.

I have been interested in Neural Networks for around six years and have
been involved with ISSNNet for over two years.  I have worked closely
with Karen Haines (President) and Paolo Gaudiano (Vice President)
during that time to help shape and promote ISSNNet.  I am currently
acting as the Director of ISSNNet where my main duty is to organize
elections.  Since I am also a candidate, all election proceedings will
be overseen, and the final counting of votes will be handled by Paolo
Gaudiano.

I am running for Director because I believe that ISSNNet is a worthwhile
and important society and I want to assure the continuity of its
contributions to the Neural Network community.  ISSNNet has been the
student's voice to the Neural Network Societies and Conferences.  Along
with those members of the Neural Network Community who are sensitive to
student issues, ISSNNet efforts have allowed students to receive the
benefits of full conference attendees.  Also, ISSNNet has been a
catalyst in establishing student financial support at conferences and
is also the means for distribution of those funds.  These are only some
of the valuable contributions a student society can make in a research
community.  The recently created proposal for the reorganization of
ISSNNet contains others.  The importance of student participation in
this field is acknowledged by most, but not as many appreciate the need
for the representation of student views.  I believe that students
formed in a cohesive organization can make changes, not just for our
own benefit as students, but mainly to ensure the longevity of our
field.  As Director, I will work towards an ISSNNet that meets these
lofty goals, and I will also handle the elections. ;-)

Please send electronic messages in support of my nomination as Director 
of ISSNNet to:

	issnnet@cns.bu.edu

or to myself at:

	worth@cns.bu.edu

Thank you for your interest in ISSNNet.  Please feel free to contact
me regarding my candidacy, these elections, or any Neural Network or
student issue.

Andy.
