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.
