Welcome to EII-PII letter number 1 !!!

"The main reason behind the foundation of the Alumni Association was to maintain our identity and keep our contacts alive, not allowing PII-EII, part of our lives, to remain in the darkness." (www.peiaa.com/...PEIAA General Information - The last struggle). The current steering committee of PII-EII International Alumni Association has decided that a way to achieve this proposal is an electronic publication. The contents of the publication will be contributions of the PII-EII members. In fact, we want to offer a space in which all members can share with the EII-PII community information on your professional experiences, current job positions, personal opinion on the world or national actuality, and other topics that allows to keep alive the PII-EII community.

The framework of the EII-PII letter includes several sections. Besides the editorial, it consists of the following sections: Personals, General announcements, Positions, Books and Workshops, Seminaries and Conferences. In the personal section, we will inform you address changes of the members or personal web site. In the section general announcements, we will include contributions of the members who want to introduce their own company, prototypes, software or hardware. In this section, it will be also included cultural or social events that are interesting to the EII-PII community. Besides, the contribution of this section could include personal opinion on actuality of your country or the world. In the section positions, we will include job positions or research positions. In the section books, we will include information of members' publications or recommendations of books. In the last section, we plan to announce workshops, seminaries and conferences.

We plan to send out the EII-PII-letter every two months. The next issue of E-letter will appear July 1. Please send contributions before this date. We encourage contributors to provide essential information only and reserve the right to require contributors to cut certain parts of their contribution. Contributions have to be sent to: "PEIAAletter-request@peiaa.com". It would be useful if articles are already sent in the Word or Text format that we use, starting with a "Contributed by:..." and a title centred in the next line. Each line should be no more than 80 characters wide. Please respect the MAXIMUM LENGTH OF 6 Kb per contribution.

PERSONAL WEB SITE

In the URL address http://verona.fi-p.unam.mx/Boris.html, you will find a recent picture of my self inside my office at the National University of Mexico. Here you also find information on my field of research. Following the link "imágenes digitales" and then the link "AMOVIP" you will find a number of project presentations (in English) related to Visual Perception Processing. AMOVIP stands for "Advanced Modeling of Visual Information Processing". It was a project sponsored by the European Commission in cooperation with other three research groups in different countries: the Institute of Optics, Madrid, Spain; the University of Algavre, Portugal; and the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The goal of this project was to develop a number of methods and techniques for image restoration, coding and analysis based on visual perception models.

Web Sites for Searching Job Positions

Since I have collected several links and addresses of companies recently, I'd like to share such information, by giving some key web sites just in case our community members need to address their CV's. 

1) For companies' addresses in The Netherlands, the following web sites can be suited for your target market investigation (that is, collection of company names and their respective activity branches/number of employees, etc):
www.elektronica.pagina.nl; www.XXX-bedrijven.pagina.nl; in which you replace the "XXX" by the dial code of the Dutch region you intend to make your search. For instance, for companies within the dial code region 040, we get company names from Eindhoven and neighborhood. The same is valid for: www.XXX-werk.pagina.nl, "XXX" replace by a Dutch dial code.

2) For job positions in The Netherlands, try to search via: www.vacature.pagina.nl; www.intermediair.nl; www.jobsafari.nl; www.jobtrack.nl; http://www.insite2.gale.com/is2/enduser_index.cgi http://www.hoovers.com/ http://www.lhh.com.

I've also compiled a small database with Referee's names, company's address/phone/email from Product divisions within Philips and from other companies present in the Benelux and Germany. If anyone is looking for another position and is thus interested, I can forward it on request, in "access" or in "excel" format.
