In the last few years multimedia hardware and applications have become widely available on PC and workstations. Moreover, through the tremendous development and the wide usage of the World Wide Web multimedia applications have been brought over the network to many people. Based on these developments the workshop wants to address actual problems of the usage of Multimedia in distributed applications over the network. Contributions are invited with respect to all aspects of ultimedia, but especially related to computer graphics. The emphasis should lie on hallenging problems and innovative solutions, involving - for instance - - Tools and techniques for generating, exploring and displaying multimedia via the network - New approaches for accessing, analysing and collaborating on hyperstructured multimedia information over networks - Design of algorithms and data structures - Hardware and software systems - Application of computer graphics in multimedia environments Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: - Multimedia in Graphics Applications - Multimedia on Graphics Highways - Multimedia Browsers - Multimedia Online Services - Distributed Media Services - Compression and Scaling - Multimedia in Scientific Computing - Multimedia and Spatial Information Systems - Multimedia and Interaction - Collaborative Multimedia; CSCW on Multimedia Documents - Distributed Multimedia Applications (Computer Based Training, Distributed Learning, Multimedia Presentations, and others) - Multimedia Authoring Systems Workshop Format: ---------------- Participation will be limited to about 60 people to encourage interaction and discussion. Each accepted paper will be given 20 minutes for presentation plus 10 minutes for discussion. The format of the workshop will include poster sessions as well as demonstrations and numerous exchange opportunities, and problem sessions may be formed for further discussion. Selection of papers will take place on the basis of position papers and extended abstracts clearly stating the problem, related work of others, own solution or attempts, application and/or discussion (3-10 pages). The papers will be reviewed by the programme committee. Papers and conclusions will appear in a participants edition of the workshop proceedings. A publication (e.g., in the Eurographics Workshop Series by Springer) will depend on the quality of the contributions. Selected authors will be invited to submit revised versions of their paper.
