Introduction

The RIAO (Recherche d'Informations Assistee par Ordinateur =
Computer-Assisted Information Retrieval) International Conference is held
every 3 years. Sites for the conference have been Grenoble (1985), Boston
(1988), Barcelona (1991), New York (1994) and Montreal (1997). Paris will
host the next RIAO conference in Spring 2000. The conference is organized
by the Centre de Hautes Etudes Internationales d'Informatique Documentaire
(C.I.D.) and the Center for the Advanced Study of Information Systems
(C.A.S.I.S.).

The theme of the conference is "Content-Based Multimedia Information
Access". The conference scope will range from the traditional processing of
text documents to the rapidly growing field of automatic indexing and
retrieval of images and speech and, more generally, to all processing of
audio-visual and multimedia information on various supports, including the
net. The conference is of interest for several scientific communities,
including Information Retrieval, Natural Language Processing,  Spoken
Language Processing, Computer Vision, Human-Computer Interaction and
Digital Libraries. RIAO 2000 will, thereby, serve as a forum for synergetic
initiatives and forward-looking applications.

The Scientific Committee will select the papers and the Application
Committee will select the innovative applications and products to be
presented at the conference. In order to support the multi-disciplinary
goals of the conference, these international committees include
representatives of different scientific communities.

RIAO 2000 will present recent scientific research advances, demonstrations
of prototypes resulting from this research as well as the most innovative
products now appearing on the market. A worldwide Call for Papers is
addressed to researchers engaged in academic or industrial research. The
associated Call for Applications is addressed to companies and public
organizations developing or marketing hardware or software related to the
conference topics.

topics, contact addresses, conference deadlines, etc.
