This two-volume set constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th European Conference on Computer Vision, ECCV'98, held in Freiburg, Germany, in June 1998.
The 42 revised full papers and 70 revised posters presented were carefully selected from a total of 223 papers submitted. The papers are organized in sections on multiple-view geometry, stereo vision and calibration, geometry and invariances, structure from motion, colour and indexing, grouping and segmentation, tracking, condensation, matching and registration, image sequences and video, shape and shading, motion and flow, medical...

This is the latest in a series of proceedings of conferences on the Mathematical Foundations of Programming Semantics. The purpose of the series is to bring together mathematicians and theoretical computer scientists who share the common interests of working on problems related to programming language semantics. The purpose of the book is to bring into print as quickly as possible papers which reflect the state of research on the topics comprising this area. The intended audience for the book consists of those researchers and graduate students with an interest in the research areas which are...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of 10 international workshops held in conjunction with the merged 1998 IPPS/SPDP symposia, held in Orlando, Florida, US in March/April 1998. The volume comprises 118 revised full papers presenting cutting-edge research or work in progress.
In accordance with the workshops covered, the papers are organized in topical sections on reconfigurable architectures, run-time systems for parallel programming, biologically inspired solutions to parallel processing problems, randomized parallel computing, solving combinatorial optimization problems in...

EUROCRYPT '95. Sponsored by the International Association for Cryp- logic Research (IACR), in cooperation with the Centre Commun d'Etudes de T616vision et T61Qcommunications (CCETT), a workshop on the theory and - plications of cryptographic techniques takes place at the Palais du Grand Large, Saint Malo, France, May 21-25, 1995. The General Chair of EUROCRYPT '95 is Franqoise Scarabin. The Or- nization Committee was helped by Maryvonne Lahaie and her communication team. Moreover, the CCETT has generously provided the help of a young - glish lady, Miss Virginia Cooper, for the secretariat of...

This workshop reader, in a way, presents the width of the ongoing research activities in object-orientation. However, we feel one can classify these activities into three cate- ries:...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Fast Software Encryption, FSE '98, held in Paris, France, in March 1998. The 20 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 39 submissions. The volume is divided in topical sections on cryptanalysis, new stream ciphers, design construction analysis, hash functions, pseudo-random generators, new block ciphers, and modes of operation.

This text constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 15th Conference on the Theory and Application of Cryptographic Techniques. The 34 revised full papers included were carefully selected from a total of 104 submissions. The papers addresses issues such as the booming area of research and development in cryptology and advances in application areas including security and privacy, digital communication, and electronic commerce.

The mid-1990ssaw an exciting convergenceof a number of dieren t information protection technologies, whose theme was the hiding (as opposed to encryption) of information. Copyright marking schemes are about hiding either copyright notices or individual serial numbers imperceptibly in digital audio and video, as a component in intellectual property protection systems; anonymous c- munication is another area of rapid growth, with people designing systems for electronic cash, digital elections, and privacy in mobile communications; se- rity researchers are also interested in 'stray'...
