During July 9-19 1996 the 18th Congress of the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing will be held in Vienna, Austria. The Congress theme is "Spatial Information from Images" and it will attract as many as several thousand participants from such disciplines as photogrammetry, remote sensing, image processing, cartography, pattern recognition and geomatics. Peter Waldhaeusl, of the Technical University of Vienna, has advised me that a small home page on the World Wide Web has been set up for the Congress. Additional information will be added as the time of the Congress approaches. It may be accessed using browsers, such as MOSAIC: the URL. Anyone you who wishes to take part in the Congress is kindly invited to forward a request for further information or preregistration to Peter via email : pwaldh@fbgeo1.tuwien.ac.at or via facsimile : +43 1 505 6268 Regards, Dr. Mark R.
