Tony Sale The National Museum of Computing
In collaboration with Bletchley Park Trust, we are establishing The National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park. Bletchley is home to Colossus, the world's first programmable electronic computer, and to the UK's contribution to World War II code breaking. It is generally recognised as the birthplace of electronic computing, and as such it has a unique place in history.
We intend to create an accredited world-class museum showing the development of computing from pioneering wartime efforts to the present day and are planning to show the progress so far in building the museum.
We will also present a short history of the Colossus rebuild project including video clips of the machine running.

Multimedia and Information Systems is...
We focus on content-based information retrieval over a wide range of data spanning form unstructured text and unlabelled images over spoken documents and music to videos. This encompasses the modelling of human perception of relevance and similarity, the learning from user actions and the up-to-date presentation of information. Currently we are building a research version of an integrated multimedia information retrieval system MIR to be used as a research prototype. We aim for a system that understands the user's information need and successfully links it to the appropriate information sources, be it a report or a TV news clip. This work is guided by the vision that an automated knowledge extraction system ultimately empowers people making efficient use of information sources without the burden of filing data into specialised databases.
