Call for Papers
Bellcore Workshop
on
High-Performance Information Filtering:
Foundations, Architectures, and Applications
November 13-15, 1991*
Morristown, New Jersey
Information filtering can be viewed both as a way to control the
flood of information that is received by an end-user and as a way
to target the information that is sent by information providers.
The information carrier, that provides the appropriate connectivity
between the information providers, the filter and the end-user,
plays a major role in providing a cost effective architecture which
also ensures end-user privacy. The aim of the workshop is to examine
issues that can advance the state-of-the-art in filter construction,
usage, and evaluation, for various information domains, such as
news, entertainment, advertizing, and community information.
We focus on creative approaches that take into consideration
constraints imposed by realistic application contexts.
Topics include but are not limited to:
Taxonomy of information domains and their dynamics
Information retrieval and indexing systems
Information delivery architectures
Cognitive models of end-user's interests and preferences
Cognitive models for multimedia information processing
Adaptive filtering agents and distributed filters
Filter performance evaluation
The workshop is by invitation only. Please submit a 5-10 page paper
(hardcopy only), summarizing the work you would like to present, or
a one page description of charging issues and how they relate to this
workshop. Demonstrations of existing prototypes are welcome.
Proceedings will be available at the workshop.

Advance Announcement
--------------------
VISUALIZATION '91
Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society, Technical Committee on Computer Graphics
October 22-25, 1991 *The Marriott Mission Valley* San Diego, California
This second conference will continue to explore how visualization is being used
to extract knowledge from data. The conference is concerned with all aspects
of visualization, with a focus on interdisciplinary techniques. The conference
will allow a dialogue to occur between the developers of visualization methods
and visualization users across the full spectrum of science, engineering and
business.
