• Sommario/riassunto: The field of machine learning and data mining in connection with pattern recognition enjoys growing popularity and attracts many researchers. Automatic pattern recognition systems have proven successful in many applications. The wide use of these systems depends on their ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions and to deal with new objects. This requires learning capabilities on the parts of these systems. The exceptional attraction of learning in pattern recognition lies in the specific data themselves and the different stages at which they get processed in a pattern recognition system. This results a specific branch within the field of machine learning. At the workshop, were presented machine learning approaches for image pre-processing, image segmentation, recognition and interpretation. Machine learning systems were shown on applications such as document analysis and medical image analysis. Many databases are developed that contain multimedia sources such as images, measurement protocols, and text documents. Such systems should be able to retrieve these sources by content. That requires specific retrieval and indexing strategies for images and signals. Higher quality database contents can be achieved if it were possible to mine these databases for their underlying information. Such mining techniques have to consider the specific characteristic of the image sources. The field of mining multimedia databases is just starting out. We hope that our workshop can attract many other researchers to this subject.

• Sommario/riassunto: La construction de la nature en patrimoine ne relève pas seulement d’actions de conservation des ressources et espaces, mais également de stratégies économiques, politiques et identitaires. Au-delà de la diversité des objets et des acteurs, cet ouvrage explore les liens entre revendications patrimoniales, identitaires et territoriales. Les approches – historique, géographique, juridique ou anthropologique – permettent de dévoiler les composantes des conflits fonciers et de s’interroger sur le statut des savoirs locaux en Afrique et à Madagascar. Cet ouvrage s’adresse autant aux scientifiques qu’aux gestionnaires et décideurs et ; propose des pistes de réflexion et d’action pour la conservation de la biodiversité et la maîtrise partagée des ressources. The conception of nature as heritage or patrimony depends not only on the preservation of species and spaces, but also on economic, political and community-identity strategies. Going beyond the diversity of the objects and actors involved, this work explores the relationships between claims based on notions of patrimony, identity and territory. Different approaches – historical, geographical, legal and anthropological – reveal the components at work in land and property conflicts, and address the issue of the status of local knowledge in Africa and in Madagascar. This work proposes new directions for thinking and action to advance biodiversity conservation and joint resource management. It is intended for an audience of managers and decision-makers, as well as for scientists.
