I would like to let you know that the xbind software is available
for experimental evaluation (alpha release).
 
Currently, we have completed a prototype implementation of our
open signalling architecture in our laboratory and are undergoing
trials with other sites on NYNET, an ATM Network operating
in New York State and Massachusetts. Our software runs on SunOS, 
Solaris and HP-UX as well as on the FORE ASX100/200 series of
switches. Multimedia devices currently supported include Sunvideo and
Parallax Graphics video cards, Sun Sparc, SGI and HP native audio devices.
We have also implemented a prototype Video and CD quality Audio conferencing
services as part of the current xbind release. Work is currently ongoing
to port the system to the NEC 5 series ATM switches and to the AIX (DSOM) and 
Windows NT operating systems. 
 
All the information you need for downloading the software can be found in
http://www.ctr.columbia.edu/comet/xbind/xbind.html.

in making
their decisions.In order that anonymous reviewing can be carried out, the
contri
bution and its title page should not contain the name(s) of the author(s) or
their affiliation(s).The four copies of the submitted contribution should be

Mr. Buoggi,

Actually, there is *no* excuse for random and wanton distribution of
notices to many irrelevant mailing lists.  I deeply resent having to
deal with this junk in my already bulging mailbox; it is the moral
equivalent of the massive junk mail I receive through US mail each day.

Your laziness in not figuring out how to target your mail is
exceeded only by your bad Internet manners in sending automatically
sending these messages.

Does anyone have an email address for Academic Press?  Perhaps we
should tell THEM what we think...

                               CALL FOR PAPERS

                         JOURNAL OF REAL-TIME IMAGING
                                Academic Press

                               Special Issue on
              Special-Purpose Architectures for Real-Time Imaging

Nowadays, a number of different problems are solved through  image  processing 
techniques (e.g. industrial inspection, robot guidance, unmanned vehicles,...,
to  cite only a few examples). The problem of processing images  in  real-time 
has  been  generally  addressed and solved through the use of high-performance 
computer  systems,  developed  ad-hoc to meet the specific requirements of the
applications.  Serial or parallel architectures have been enhanced through the 
addition  of  various  bus systems, interprocessor communication networks, and 
other  features  explicitly  designed  to face the hard constraints imposed by
real-time  processing,  such  as  I/O  (data  acquisition  and  output),  data 
communications among processors (in multi-processor systems),...

A  number  of  different special-purpose architectures for image analysis have 
been proposed  and  developed,  but  seldom  the  presentation  focuses on the 
discussion  of  both  the  hard  real-time requirements (applications) and the 
hardware solutions which have been chosen (computer architectures).

The TOPICS of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:

* Design of application-specific VLSI architectures;
* Performance analysis and comparison among different architectural solutions;
* Hardware mapping of parallel algorithms;
* VLSI architectures for HDTV and image compression;
* Hardware support for multimedia systems;
* Vision-based real-time robot and vehicle navigation;
* Massively parallel architectures for low-level vision;
* Hardware neural solutions;
* Experience on highly demanding vision applications.

Prospective  authors are encouraged to submit papers with a strong emphasis on 
the  match  between  the application requirements and the chosen architectural 
solutions,  detailing the ad-hoc hardware enhancements. Papers should describe 
systems  which  have  been designed for a specific target application or which 
have proved to be particularly suited for a given task.

MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION:

* Authors  should  send  5  copies of their full paper (about 15 double-spaced 
  pages) to:
                 Alberto BROGGI 
                 Dip. di Ingegneria dell'Informazione

                 University of Parma
                 I-43100 Parma, Italy

  indicating their full postal address and  e-mail address.  Electronic or fax 
  submissions will  *NOT*  be considered.
* The closing date for submission is  *DECEMBER 10th, 1995*.
* Publication is tentatively expected to take place in MID 1996.
* The final call-for-papers and up-to-date information can be obtained via WWW 
  at:
