["Albert Bregman, Tel: 514-398-6103" <IN09@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Auditory list members,

  For those of you who are considering going to the ICPR meetings
in Israel, I am enclosing a message sent to me by David Malah.

From: david malah <malah@dekel.technion.ac.il>

Dear Program Committee Member,

I am enclosing below for your information the list of Session Chairmen
for the Signal Processing Track and details on the Invited Talks in the
Special Session on "Advances in Signal Processing".

I am also enclosing a message from the Chairman of the Computer Vision
and Image Processing Track about a Panel on "Computer Vision and
Image/Video Compression" that he has organized.

Finally, you'll find below a recent update I received concerning the
proceedings and paper preparation (for those who are interested).

In response to queries, I would like to clarify that it is the practice
of this conference (as many other) that PC members, who attend the
conference (and we wish and hope that most of you will attend), as well
as Session Chairmen, invited speakers, etc., all have to register,
as any other attendee. Registration information was mailed to you
in my last e-mail.

As this could well be my last BROADCAST e-mail concerning the
conference I would like to use this opportunity and thank you again
for your invaluable help and for your cooperation, which made it possible
to put together a high quality and interesting program.

I am looking forward to meet many of you, if not all, in Jerusalem.

All the best,

David Malah
