Conference outline
The last few years have seen some technological and normative 
breakthroughs in the field of image computing and graphics as well as
multimedia networking. New perception and recognition techniques close
to robotics together with convergence of image creation, analysis and
representation techniques are leading to new developments in
multimedia production and services. The access to digitised image,
sound and data from the workplace and from the home relies on
increasingly smarter bearer services. As added value is transferred
towards production and services, strategic alliances are being built
to take advantage of the multiplication of the distribution channels
and media. User access is being made easier, more intuitive, by means
of smarter, knowledge-based approaches. Fast retrieval of essential
information and browsing ever increasing amounts of information
require smart intelligent guides, software and agents, as well as
multimodal interfaces. Correspondingly, adequate development of
network infrastructure, architecture and protocols is essential. This
third issue of the IMAGE'COM provides a forum to monitor and
anticipate the developments that make multimedia applications
possible, to exchange information and results on recent work, and to
help cross-fertilisation of image and communication research
activities. The topics addressed range from production to services and
user interface. Particular emphasis is put on picture aspects, for
advanced coding as well as knowledge extraction purposes. Some
applications are presented.
