Announcement and Call For Papers ================================ 13th Israeli Symposium on Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision and Neural Networks Tel Aviv University, February 3-4, 1997 The purpose of the symposium is to bring together researchers and practitioners from Israel and abroad who are interested in the areas of Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, and Neural Networks, and to promote interaction between them. The program will include contributed as well as invited lectures. All lectures will be given in English. Papers are solicited addressing all aspects of AI, Computer Vision and Neural Networks. Novel contributions in preliminary stages are especially encouraged but significant work which has been presented recently will also be considered. The proceedings, including summaries of the contributed and invited talks, will be organized as a technical report and distributed during the symposium. Copyright transfer will not be required. Authors should submit an extended abstract of their presentation in English so that it will reach us by October 1st 1996.
