=============================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS - 12th ICPR International Conferences on Pattern Recognition Oct 9-13, 1994, Jerusalem, Israel The 12th ICPR of the International Association for Pattern Recognition will be organized as a set of four conferences, each dealing with a special topic. The program for each individual conference will be organized by its own Program Committee. Papers describing applications are encouraged, and will be reviewed by a special Applications Committee. An award will be given for the best industry-related paper presented at the conference. Considerations for this award will include innovative applications, robust performance, and contributions to industrial progress. An exhibition will also be held. The conference proceedings are published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. GENERAL CO-CHAIRS: S. Ullman - Weizmann Inst. (shimon@wisdom.weizmann.ac.il) S.
