This two-volume set constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th European Conference on Computer Vision, ECCV'98, held in Freiburg, Germany, in June 1998. The 42 revised full papers and 70 revised posters presented were carefully selected from a total of 223 papers submitted. The papers are organized in sections on multiple-view geometry, stereo vision and calibration, geometry and invariances, structure from motion, colour and indexing, grouping and segmentation, tracking, condensation, matching and registration, image sequences and video, shape and shading, motion and flow, medical imaging, appearance and recognition, robotics and active vision, and motion segmentation.

Ten years ago, the inaugural European Conference on Computer Vision was held in Antibes, France. Since then, ECCV has been held biennially under the auspices of the European Vision Society at venues around Europe. This year, the privilege of organizing ECCV 2000 falls to Ireland and it is a signal honour for us to host what has become one of the most important events in the calendar of the computer vision community. ECCV is a single-track conference comprising the highest quality, previously unpublished, contributed papers on new and original research in computer vision. This year, 266 papers were submitted and, following a rigorous double-blind review process, with each paper being reviewed by three referees, 116 papers were selected by the Programme Committee for presentation at the conference. The venue for ECCV 2000 is the University of Dublin, Trinity College. - unded in 1592, it is Ireland’s oldest university and has a proud tradition of scholarship in the Arts, Humanities, and Sciences, alike. The Trinity campus, set in the heart of Dublin, is an oasis of tranquility and its beautiful squares, elegant buildings, and tree-lined playing- elds provide the perfect setting for any conference.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms, ESA'97, held in Venice, Italy, in August 1998. The 40 revised full papers presented together with two invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 131 submissions. The book is divided into sections on data structures, strings and biology, numerical algorithms, geometry, randomized and online algorithms, parallel and distributed algorithms, graph algorithms, and optimization.

This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Conference on Rough Sets and Current Trends in Computing, RSCTC'98, held in Warsaw, Poland, in June 1998. The volume presents 82 revised papers carefully selected for inclusion in the proceedings; also included are five invited contributions. The volume is divided in topical sections on rough set methods, statistical inference, grammar systems and molecular computations, logic in rough sets, intelligent control, rough sets in knowledge discovery and data discovery, data mining, evolutionary computation, hybrid methods, etc..
