call for contributions on handwriting recognition

[Raul Rojas]

[ Moderator's note: I don't usually accept calls for papers
  in some generic application area for a journal that is not
  primarily neural nets-oriented.  But since neural networks
  are used so extensively in handwriting recognition research,
  this particular call for papers is an exception.

                              Handwriting Recognition

The journal "Kuenstliche Intelligenz" (Artificial Intelligence), organ
of the German SIG on AI, will publish a special issue on handwriting
recognition during 1999. We are looking for additional original
contributions on the following topics:

- on-line and off-line handwriting recognition
- applications of handwriting recognition
- handwriting recognition for PDAs
- image processing for handwriting recognition

We are looking for papers at an expository level and  papers
describing ongoing projects.

Language: English or German
Extension: 5-6 pages, including figures.
Deadline: January 31, 1999.

Short project summaries (a half-page with pointers to on-line materials)

will be published together in a special section.
There are no special format requirements, since we will reformat
the papers using the source file. Files in LaTeX or MS-Word are
acceptable. Electronic submission is encouraged.
