    CIR moves to Brighton in 2000, with a new format - separate practitioner and research tracks linked by common plenary sessions. As in previous years, it aims to attract 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.
