Speaking of different terms or homonyms of the acronym variety, today
in my in-box amidst the avi postings was the subject line:
" AVI 2006 Call for participation - Early registration "
Cool! A conference where you can volunteer to be an avi poodle!
Of course this has nothing to do with avalanches, but I found the
juxtaposition curious:

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
The 8th International Working Conference on Advanced Visual
Interfaces (AVI 2006) will be held in Venice, Italy, May 23-26, 2006.
Started in 1992 in Rome, and held every two years in different
Italian towns, the Conference traditionally brings together experts
in different areas of computer science who have a common interest in
the conception, design and implementation of visual and, more
generally, perceptual interfaces, with a growing interest for mobile
devices such as smartphones, palmtops and PDAs, in the framework of
traditional and emerging environments, such as ubiquitous and
pervasive computer applications.
AVI 2006 has received a total of 194 submissions in different
categories. 32 full papers have been selected for presentation out of
127 research contributions, discussing the major achievements in the
area of visual and perceptual interfaces. 48 short papers/posters and
10 system papers/demos have also been selected, offering a wide
spectrum of on-going developments and practical experiences.
