          Program Committee
          =================

          The international program committee will consist of
          approximately 40 members from all main fields of AI and
          from Cognitive Science.



          We invite researchers from the various areas of Artificial
          Intelligence, Cognitive Science and Pattern Recognition,
          including Vision, Learning, Knowledge Representation and
          Foundations, to submit articles which assess or review the
          progress made so far in their respective areas, as well as
          the relevance of that progress to the whole enterprise of
          AI. Other papers which do not address the theme are also
          invited.


          Feature
          =======

          Four 70 minute invited talks and five panel discussions are
          devoted to the chosen topic: "Are we moving ahead: Lessons
          from Computer Vision." The speakers include (in
          alphabetical order)

                   * Lev  Goldfarb
                   * Stephen  Grossberg
                   * Robert  Haralick
                   * Tomaso  Poggio

          Such a concentrated analysis of the area will be undertaken
          for the first time.  We feel that the "Lessons from Computer  r
          Vision" are of relevance to the entire AI community.
