CIR moves to Brighton in 2000, with a new format -
separate practitioner and research tracks linked by
common plenary sessions. As in previous years, we have
high-quality papers covering all aspects of
image and video retrieval from both the UK and overseas.
The main themes of CIR-2000 are video asset management,
image indexing and metadata, and content-based image
retrieval. Our distinguished list of invited speakers
includes:
Professor Howard Besser, University of California at Los
Angeles
Dr Ruud Bolle, IBM Thomas Watson Research Center
Dr Richard Nicol, Head of Research, BT Adastral Park
Professor Mark Overmaars, University of Utrecht
Details of the conference, provisional programme,
registration details and booking form are available at:
http://www.unn.ac.uk/iidr/cir/cir00
Last day for registration at standard rates is 20 April
2000. Bookings after that date will incur an
administration surcharge.
Bed and breakfast accommodation has been arranged for
delegates in the Old Ship Hotel at a special price.
Delegates are responsible for booking their own
accommodation. (see web site for details)
Successful conferences were held in Newcastle upon Tyne
in 1998 and 1999. The 2000 event again aims to bring
together researchers and practitioners in the area of
image data management, to exchange information and gain
some idea of the significance of developments in related
disciplines. It should be of interest to researchers in
fields as diverse as information retrieval, database,
computer vision and image processing, human visual
perception and interface design, as well as users and
managers of image and video libraries.
