Although there has been much progress in developing theories,
models and systems in the areas of Natural Language
Processing (NLP) and Vision Processing (VP) there has been little progress
on integrating these two subareas of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

It is not clear why there has not already been much activity in
integrating NLP and VP. Is it because of the long-time
reductionist trend in science up
until the recent emphasis on chaos theory, non-linear systems,
and emergent behaviour? Or, is it because the people who have tended to
work on NLP tend to be in other Departments, or of a different ilk,
to those who have worked on VP?

Whatever the reason, we believe it is high time to bring together
these two areas of AI research. In this endeavour, we are calling for papers
for a special issue of AI Review Journal dedicated
to site descriptions, surveys, tutorials, and viewpoints on integrated NLP
and VP research.

Papers should be sent to the addresses below by DECEMBER 30TH, 1993.
Feel free to contact Paul Mc Kevitt at the address
above for advice on the suitability of manuscripts.
