Dear Hoover:
Below is a message for the CVNet members. It might be interesting for the
CVNet to be aware of the ISCC Website. It includes the ability to download
the latest AIC Newsletter and an up-to-date program for the Second
Panchromatic Conference.

IT'S STILL NOT TOO LATE. You can still submit a poster paper for
