MESSAGE TO THE PARTICIPANTS OF RIAO94
The explosion of computer processing power, memories and networks,
along with the intense activity of the United States in this domain,
makes the holding of "RIAO94" in New York City an event full of
promise for valuable exchanges of scientific information and
stimulating demonstrations.
Rockefeller University is happy to follow M.I.T., which welcomed
Conference "RIAO 1988", and Barcelona in Spain, which did the same
in 1991.
Rockefeller University is deeply involved in biomedical research,
interelating biochemistry with clinical medecine. Its importance in
the field of medicine is indicated by the fact that its staff has
received 19 Nobel Prizes since its foundation in 1901.
We are confident that your active participation in the conference
will contribute much to its success.

President Emeritus

PRESENTATION OF PRODUCTS
The RIAO94 conference is being held as electronic information processing is
undergoing a profound revolution. At work or at home, digital access
to electronic information is finally becoming a mass phenomenon.
Until now , only a relatively restricted number of people,
researchers mostly, have had access to a limited number of data
bases. Today, not only the quantity of information but its diversity
have become factors that everyone must deal with. Data is becoming
more available but it is scattered over
vast heterogeneous technical and social networks which are
managed in a distributed fashion with varied methods and
aims. The information seeker is confronted with new challenges, and
must develop new work habits as he or she directly tracks the
possibilities of multishaped, large and evolving databases.
In this light, RIAO has adopted a different approach and a different
presentation of product demonstrations. Horizontal application areas
giving a wide view of full applications within a domain will be
presented in conjunction with vertical enabling technologies that
may be applied to any domain.
In order to develop this new approach more fully we have
extended the period for accepting
new demonstration participants until September 1.
Three main horizontal sectors have been selected as demonstration
areas: Medicine, Space and Art.
MEDICINE
As Health Care Reforms are being initiated in Europe and in the US,
much attention is being given to the future role of medical
computing and telecommunications. At RIAO 94 recent developments
relating to the Electronic Health Record of the future will be
demonstrated.
Some of the applications and themes presented:
"The Visible Human " project from the National Library of Medicine.
Tools for identifying shapes in medical images, extracting
information dynamically from sequences of 2D images (MIT Multimedia
Lab).
Telemedicine with demonstrations from Europe via the World Wide Web.
Also electronic data interchange through standardized messages,
communication of medical images, the ultimate medical workstation.
SPACE
Space and aeronautic technologies have created large quantities of
image data and vast stores of technical documentation. Information
solutions in these areas will be demonstrated via applications such
as:
Spot Images'database of 3.5 million satellite photos, enriched at a
rate of 2,000 images a day.
Jouve will present a demonstration of its European-American
application using CALS and SGML in technical documentation and their
impact on searching for information.
ART
Virtual museum projects are numerous all over the world, as methods
are being explored to produce Art databases, interfaces and research
engines. Some applications to be presented:
The NARCISSE project in the IMPACT program: Network of Art Research
and Computer Image Systems in Europe.
The RAMA project in the European Race program : Remote Access to
Museum Archives.
The San Francisco Museum of Art has recently developed a product
entitled American Visions :
OTHER SECTORS
Demonstrations of new and innovative functions in the fields of
Libraries and Legal Fields will also be shown.
A demonstration will be given on the Tax Documentation Service
containing legislation, interpretation and case law related to the
Italian Taxation Domain, daily accessed by a very large number of
users at all relevant Public Administration sites in Italy through a
large private network and duly updated by means of an internal text
acquisition and indexing process. Relevant functionalities such as
query expansion/restriction and textual navigation as well as usage of
specific dictionaries will be shown.
ENABLING TECHNOLOGIES
As well as the presentation of the above horizontal application
fields, vertical axes of enabling technologies will also be
presented at RIAO94.
Some of the best advanced products in the following fields will be
present in the Product Demonstration section of RIAO94. A sample
from each field is given.
Information Retrieval: with demonstrations by pathsetters such as
Fulcrum, Claritech...
Software tools : Xerox Linguistic Tools; SGML information
structuring tools; and other information management software.
Networks Services: GROUPLENS news filtering from MIT and University
of Minnesota, and others
CD-ROM: SGML television dictionaries; from Italy, the Media Music
system of navigation in a musical database.
Interfaces: group requests; navigational assistance; intelligent
agents.
The Organizers of RIAO94 are still communicating with a number of
further applications and product developers who will be present at
the conference.
The final list of the demonstrations will be available on September
10, 1994 and will be mailed on request and sent to participants who
have mailed their registration form.
