Larry, I had some ideas for your consideration. 1. You may know Prof. Bob Duin's web (www.ph.tn.tudelft.nl/PRInfo/). It is no longer being updated, but I believe if the PR community can have such a website, it will be great. A similar one for computer vision community is (www.cs.cmu.edu/~cil/vision.html). 2. e-letter can be subscribed by any confirmed user. Let's share the information of job openings, conference CFP, new publication (article, book), software, etc. through the Newsletter. 3. The current E-letter may be changed to an e-journal. As an e-journal, it could be different from IAPR’s other journals. I suggest a combination of peer-review and an opened public-review and a submission with data and code. With data and code, the e-journal may attract more attention. There could be some concerns about the IP. The code does not have to be source code. It could be executable only. 4. A forum for (registered) people to discuss and exchange technical information. Dr. Blur (the editor-in-chief of Journal Information Fusion) created a PR club on Yahoo, but it is not that active. These ideas have been in my mind for some time, and I just wanted to pass them along. Thanks, Zheng Zheng Liu Ottawa, Ontario, K1A0R6 |
