Message from the Chairs
=======================

Dear members of the document processing community,

Happy New Year and welcome to the IAPR TC11 (Reading Systems) mailing
list! This list will be used to post information on various scientific
activities of interest to this community, including conference announcements,
job postings, announcements of open software and databases, etc.

To reduce email traffic, these announcements will be bundled together and
sent in a newsletter every one to two months, unless an urgent announcement
arises which justifies immediate dissemination. You are encouraged to
check the TC11 website at http://www.iapr-tc11.org for the latest updates in
between newsletters.

To submit material to be included in the next newsletter, please
email to Dr. Jianying Hu at jyhu@us.ibm.com.

If you wish to unsubscribe from this list at any time, simply
send email to majordomo@iapr-tc11.org with "unsubscribe tc11" as the first line 
of the message.


Best wishes,

IAPR TC11 Chair, Dr. Jianying Hu
     Vice Chair, Dr. Apostolos Antonacopoulos
