   II.1.  Technical Topics
       As  described in  last issue's  Editors' Entry,  each  issue will
   feature a technical topic.    For June, the topic is  Computer Vision
   and Perception and, in particular, addresses the following questions:
   .What knowledge is necessary to segment and interpret scenes?
   .How should such knowledge be represented and used?
   .Are there methods general enough for a wide class of scene types?
   Jay  M. Tenenbaum  and Harry  Barrow, of  SRI, will  write  a feature
   article  on  this  topic; others  are  strongly  urged  to contribute
   answers to these questions.   All submissions received by May  1 will
   be  circulated to  all those who  have contributed  by then.  "Final"
   submissions for the Newsletter are due May 20.
