C A L L F O R P A P E R S ------------------------------------- IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium 1998 and Special Issue of IMAGE AND VISION COMPUTING JOURNAL on `Applications of Computer Vision to Intelligent Vehicles' ********************************************************** Intelligent Vehicles '98 October 28-30, 1998 Stuttgart, Germany ********************************************************** The IEEE Intelligent Vehicle Committee organizes an international symposium once every year, in cooperation with other related institutions, in Detroit, Tokyo, and Paris since 1989. These symposia have a single session format so that all the attendees remain in a single room for multilateral communications in an informal atmosphere. As another tradition, the meetings have enthusiastic participation from industry as well as universities. Demonstrations of test vehicles are strongly encouraged. The topics cover: * Sensing (Vision, Radar, Lidar, Sensor fusion, Image Understanding Algorithms, etc.) * Control (Novel Nonlinear Control Concepts, Neural Nets, Fuzzy Logic, etc.) * System Design (Integration of Intelligent Vehicles with Traffic Control, Navigation, etc.) * Introduction Strategies for Intelligent Vehicles * Communication and other related issues We especially encourage participants from universities and companies with truly innovative algorithms, systems, and concepts and analyses from interesting new perspectives. Please send three copies of a one-page abstract to Ichiro Masaki whose address is included below. The deadline for the abstracts is March 15, 1998. All the papers submitted to IV'98 will be forwarded to Alberto Broggi for possible publication in the special issue of IMAGE AND VISION COMPUTING JOURNAL on `Applications of Computer Vision to Intelligent Vehicles' which will be guest-edited by Alberto Broggi and Ernst Dickmanns.
