> CALL FOR PAPERS
>
> The Challenge of Image Retrieval
>
> Second UK Conference on Image Retrieval
>
>February 25-26, 1999, Forte Post House Hotel. Newcastle upon Tyne,
>United Kingdom.
>
>----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
>Image Storage and Retrieval is one of the most exciting and
>fastest-growing research areas in the field of multimedia technology
>However, opportunities within the UK for the exchange of ideas between
>different groups of researchers, and between researchers and potential
>users of image retrieval systems, are still limited. The Challenge of
>Image Retrieval conference held in February 1998 was the first UK
>forum set up specifically to bridge the gap between the different
>communities with an interest in image retrieval. Building on the
>success of this first conference, the 1999 event again aims to bring
>together researchers and practitioners in the fast-growing area of
>image retrieval, 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.
>
>A Web version of this Call for Papers is available at:
>http://www.unn.ac.uk/iidr/conference.html
>
>PROGRAMME DETAILS
>
>The two-day event will consist of a mixture of submitted and invited
>papers. Our keynote speaker will be Dr Michael Swain from the Alta
>Vista development team at Digital Equipment Corporation, who will talk
>on Image searching on the Web. Invited papers, aimed mainly at the
>practitioner, will cover two main themes: CBIR technology - can we
>make it deliver? and Emerging standards for image retrieval - how will
>they affect me? There will also be a poster session, demonstrations of
>prototype image retrieval systems and a small trade exhibition. The
>Conference Dinner will be held at the hotel on the evening of Thursday
>February 25.
>
>CALL FOR PAPERS
>
>Original papers are solicited for the conference describing research
>or innovation in any area related to image or video storage and
>retrieval. Accounts of work in progress are acceptable provided at
>least some results are reported. Preliminary research ideas may be
>submitted as poster presentations - see below. Possible topics
>include, but are not limited to:
>
> * Studies of information-seeking behaviour among image users
> * HCI issues in image retrieval
> * Evaluation of image retrieval systems
> * Novel image data management systems and applications
> * Query models, paradigms and languages for image retrieval
> * Content-based indexing, search and retrieval of images
>
> * Feature extraction and representation
> * Visual perception and image retrieval
> * Image search and browsing on the Web
> * Semantic retrieval of images and video
> * Neural network techniques for image classification and retrieval
> * Database architectures for image retrieval * Image data
> management for multimedia systems
>
>The programme committee are aiming to ensure a balance between
>technical and user orientation in the submitted papers presented at
>the conference. To achieve this, we particularly welcome submissions
>which deal with user issues. In response to a query we received from
>Japan last year - we are happy to receive submissions from anywhere in
>the world.
>
