               JOINT IAPR INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOPS ON 
   Syntactical and Structural Pattern Recognition (SSPR 2000) 
                              and 
             Statistical Pattern Recognition (SPR 2000) 

           Alicante, Spain, 30 August - 1 September, 2000

A Satellite Event of the International Conference of Pattern Recognition
                           ICPR 2000

The International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR) and its
technical committees on Statistical PR (TC1) and Syntactical and 
Structural PR (TC2) are organising a Joint workshop in Alicante prior to
the next ICPR in Barcelona. The workshop aims at promoting interaction 
and collaboration not only among researchers working directly in the 
areas covered by TC1 and TC2 but also among those specialized in other 
fields but using or developing statistical, syntactic or structural
techniques. In this relation it is of particular interest to encourage
links with many mathematical statisticians, theoreticians and practitioners
alike who work at present outside the pattern recognition community.
