Preface
Visual Information Systems on the Move
Following the success of previous International Conferences of VISual Information
Systems held in Melbourne, San Diego, Amsterdam, Lyon, Taiwan, Miami, and San
Francisco, the 8th International Conference on VISual Information Systems held in
Amsterdam dealt with a variety of aspects, from visual systems of multimedia
information, to systems of visual information such as image databases.
Handling of visual information is boosted by the rapid increase of hardware and
Internet capabilities. Now, advances in sensors have turned all kinds of information
into digital form.
Technology for visual information systems is more urgently needed than ever
before. What is needed are new computational methods to index, compress, retrieve
and discover pictorial information, new algorithms for the archival of and access to
very large amounts of digital images and videos, and new systems with friendly visual
interfaces.
Visual information processing, features extraction and aggregation at semantic
level and content-based retrieval, and the study of user intention in query processing
will continue to be areas of great interest. As digital content becomes widespread,
issues of delivery and consumption of multimedia content were also topics of this
workshop.
