Organized by:
Centre de Hautes Etudes Internationales d'Informatique Documentaire
(C.I.D., France) & Center for the Advanced Study of Information

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.

Call for Papers
Issues in Applied Linguistics invites submission for the upcoming
Special Theme Issue: Non-native Discourse
We are looking for research on spoken discourse which examines:
* naturally occurring non-native discourse (where one or all participants
are non-native speakers of the language used)
* discourse from a wide range of educational contexts (such as classroom
small group talk or tutorial interactions), but excluding teacher fronted
classroom contexts
* discourse from a wide range of non-teaching contexts (such as workplace
settings and ordinary conversation)
Research approaches may include:
* conversation analysis
* linguistic anthropology
* ethnography of communication
* other perspectives that analyze the situated use of language within
spoken interaction
Manuscripts for this Special Issue must be received by September 15, 1999
ial is a refereed journal published by the graduate students of UCLA's
Department of TESL and Applied Linguistics. We are particularly interested
in publishing new departures and cross-disciplinary applied linguistic
research.
