Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society
Technical Committee on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence. 


WORKSHOP

We are pleased to announce the advance program for the second IEEE
Workshop on Applications of Computer Vision (WACV '94), to be held in
Sarasota, Florida, U.S.A., December 5-7, 1994.  Researchers from around
the world will present and discuss diverse applications of computer
vision.  In the spirit of the workshop format, we encourage others to
participate and bring related interests of academia, industry, and
government to the discussion.

The workshop is scheduled in morning and evening sessions, leaving
afternoons free to enjoy the beach and other activities of the Sarasota
area.  Buffet receptions will accompany the evening sessions, which will
include special events (e.g., panel discussions) as well as papers.

SARASOTA

The workshop hotel is the Holiday Inn on Lido Beach in Sarasota,
Florida.  One of the prime attractions is of course the beach.  In
addition, the hotel is a two-block walk from St. Armand's Circle, which
provides many fine shopping and dining possibilities.  Sports activities
in the area include various water sports, wind surfing, deep sea
fishing, boat rentals, cycling, tennis and golf.

Other attractions in the Sarasota area include the Mote Marine Lab,
Myakka River State Park, Ringling Museum, and Sarasota Jungle Garden.
Other major attractions within driving distance include Disney World,
Epcot, Sea World, Universal Studies (all near Orlando), Busch Gardens
(in Tampa), and the Salvador Dali Museum (in St. Petersburg).
