Competition Gutenberg Global

F: +49 (0) 6131-236790
Mainz/Heidelberg. In commemoration of Gutenberg's 600th birthday in the year 2000, the Print Media Academy, Heidelberg, is organising the first "Gutenberg Global" creative competition. The task: young creative professionals in international agencies are challenged to design an advertising campaign for the 21st century with the theme "Gutenberg - the man and his innovative spirit in modern times".
With a logo and a creative idea for an advertising campaign, the competition entrants are to pursue the following question in their proposals: How would an inventor like Gutenberg address an observer today as a contemporary, how would he view the subject of the Internet, for example? The submitted works should be suitable for multi-media use, meaning for print, TV and Internet, and be reproducible for a printed documentation.
Date: 4 -- 5 May 2000
CIR-2000, The Challenge of Image Retrieval, Third UK Conference on Image Retrieval,
Venue: Brighton, United Kingdom
The main themes of CIR-2000 are video asset management, and image indexing and metadata, and content-based image retrieval. Image and video storage and retrieval continues to be one of the most exciting and fastest-growing research areas in the field of multimedia technology. The Challenge of Image Retrieval series of conferences was set up specifically to bridge the gap between the different communities with an interest in image retrieval. 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.
Date: 19-21 May 2000

Call for papers for VISION PLUS 8 : "Turning Information into Corporate Knowledge" Innovative Information Management: A Design Challenge
Organised by IIID
Venue: Wien/Vienna, Austria
Contact: Peter Simlinger
T: +43 (0)1 4036662,
F: +43 (0)1 4088347,
E: info@iiid.net
V+8 focuses on the aquisition, storage, retrieval and effective updating of information by corporations (commercial, communal, and cultural institutions). Considering knowledge as readily available information relevant to a given task all that matters is the applicability of the information with regard to how to do a task successfully.
As tasks change frequently and unforseeably the process of aquiring new and updating old information must be a reiterating one:
It requires lifelong learning both of individuals and corporations. We know something about how individuals turn information into knowledge (this was discussed at Vision Plus 5 in 1998: "Learning Meets Information Design, Information Design Meets Learning"). But how may corporations deal with this issue?
The ability to successfully accumulate knowledge in communities is the precondition for both successful administrative and innovative team work.
By investigating the notion of corporate knowledge and its difference to individual knowledge Vision Plus 8 will discuss first of all
1. requirements of information structuring according to
1.1 principles supported by information theory and
1.2 principles related to tasks the information is required for. Such principles will depend on the nature of the business to be conducted by the staff of a given organization. Accordingly organizations of the following sectors will be taken into consideration in the initial planning stage of Vision Plus 8: services, manufacturing, administration, trade, planning, design, and non-profit-organizations of all kinds. It is planned to focus on a number of carefully selected examples.
Further points of discussion:
2. interface design to facilitate 2.1 and 2.2
2.1 storage, ease of retrieval and the effective updating of information as governed by system and user resp. use requirements; evaluation of standard hard and software; requirements to be put on the administration of the system;
2.2 teamwork and network requirements whenever networked electronic information is to be provided.
3. Vision Plus 8 will also consider
3.1 innovative and
3.2 unorthodox approaches in creating and maintaining corporate knowledge
Moreover speakers are requested to integrate in their presentations use and usablility aspects, information employed standard software, time and cost factors.
Please take notice: At least one of the presentations should relate to concerns of UNESCO and/or Third World issues, another one should demonstrate what we may learn from historic examples of information design.
