RIAO '94 INTELLIGENT MULTIMEDIA INFORMATION RETRIEVAL SYSTEMS AND MANAGEMENT Rockefeller U n i v e r s i t y N e w York, N Y , U S A O c t o b e r 11-13, 1994
Organized by: Centre De Hautes Etudes lnternationales, D'informatique Documentaire, (C.I.D.), France Center For Advanced Study of Information Systems, Inc. (C.A.S.I.S.), USA Sponsored by: the European Community, with the participation of I.N.R.I.A. France Telecom The RIAO 94 is prepared under the direction of, Professor A ndr6 Lichnerowicz, Academy of Sciences of PARIS
GENERAL INTRODUCTION This conference, which has been held every three years since 1985 in different countries: • 1985: France--Grenoble • 1988: USA--Cambridge, MA (M.I.T.) • 1991: Spain--Barcelona allows researchers, product developers and companies to present and demonstrate the latest evolutions in information retrieval. New trends in hardware organization, artificial intelligence, telecommunication networks, heterogeneous documents, hyperlinking, computational linguistics, and other fields modify the way that information retrieval can be imagined. This conference is a forum for innovative responses to this field as well as to related problems in very large databases, public access to information, multimedia information retrieval, interface specifications, and others. In addition to regular paper presentations, the conference will offer prototype and product demonstrations. English will be the working language of the conference.
