        	     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. Submissions should be limited 
to four pages, including title and bibliography. Submitted contributions will 
be refereed by the program committee. Authors will be notified of acceptance 
by November 15th, 1996. A final extended abstract, to be included in the 
proceedings, is due by January 1st, 1997.

Three copies of the extended abstracts should be submitted to one of the 
Program Co-chairs. Please indicate your name, affiliation, physical address, 
e-mail, phone and FAX numbers. In addition, to speed up the refereeing process,
authors are encouraged to also submit the paper electronically by anonymous FTP 
to 
	   ftp.cs.bgu.ac.il/pub/IAICV97

There will soon be a home page for IAICV97 at 
	http://www.cs.bgu.ac.il/~IAICV97 

and the ftp site and submissions could be reached from this home page too. 
The home page will include important information about IAICV97 and eventually 
the list of accepted papers.
