The international conference on current trends in the theory and practice of informatics, SOFSEM 2000, took place from 25 November to 2 December 2000 at the Devět Skal Hotel in the Czech-Moravian Highlands, Czech Republic. This marked the 27th annual meeting in the SOFSEM series, which has been held in the Czech or Slovak Republic since its inception in 1974. Over the years, SOFSEM has evolved alongside the field of informatics, becoming a multidisciplinary conference that emphasizes the connection between theory and practice. The scientific program primarily features invited talks that shape the conference's focus, complemented by short refereed talks from participants. For 2000, three key streams were selected: Trends in Algorithmics, Information Technologies in Practice, and Computational Perception. The conference included 16 invited talks by leading researchers and 18 contributed talks selected from 36 submissions by the international Program Committee. Additionally, a panel discussion addressed lessons learned from the Y2K problem, enhancing the conference's relevance to contemporary issues in informatics.

This book presents the proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Computer Analysis of Images and Patterns, CAIP '95, held in Prague, Czech Republic in September 1995. The volume presents 61 full papers and 75 posters selected from a total of 262 submissions and thus gives a comprehensive view on the state-of-the-art in computer analysis of images and patterns, research, design, and advanced applications. The papers are organized in sections on invariants, segmentation and grouping, optical flow, model recovery and parameter estimation, low level vision, motion detection, structure and matching, active vision and shading, human face recognition, calibration, contour, and sessions on applications in diverse areas.
