===================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS MMM'97 The International Conference on Multimedia Modeling 16-19 November 1997, Singapore ===================================================== The Department of Information Systems and Computer Science at the National University of Singapore (NUS), and the Computer Graphics Society, Geneva, are pleased to announce MMM'97. As with last year's conference held in Toulouse, France, MMM'97 will provide a forum to discuss the efficient representation, processing, interaction, integration and retrieval of multimedia information. In particular, MMM'97 will concentrate on common modeling frameworks for integrating the diverse fields of visual and audio information. MMM'97 will take place on 16-19 November 1997 in Singapore. *** SCOPE Contributions describing original research, surveys and applications in the following areas are solicited: * Formal Support for MM Modeling * Model-based Video/Vision/Graphics * Representation of MM Information * Indexing & Retrieval of MM Information * Topological and Geometric Modeling * Integration of Graphics & Vision * Integration of MM Information * Synchronization of MM Information * Interactive MM * MM and Virtual Reality * MM Operating System * Networked MM * MM Database Modeling * Speech and Music Modeling * Hypermedia * Education and Applications of MM Tutorials, panels and prototype demonstrations are also invited. *** IMPORTANT DATES Full Paper due (5 copies) 16 June 1997 Proposals for Panels and Demos 16 June 1997 Notice of acceptance 1 September 1997 Camera-ready paper due 1 October 1997 *** FOR FURTHER INFORMATION Please contact: Mrs. Veronica Ho MMM'97 Secretariat Department of Information Systems & Computer Science National University of Singapore, Singapore 119260 Tel: (65)-772-2730, Fax: (65)-779-4580, Email: mmm@iscs.nus.sg Please also visit our web page: http://www.iscs.nus.sg/~mmm *** CONFERENCE COMMITTEE MEMBERS Conference Chair: Chua, Tat-Seng (NUS) Technical Program Chair: Pung, Hung-Keng (NUS) Tutorials: McCallum, John (NUS) Demonstrations: Li, Hong-Yi (NUS) International Program Committee: Bulterman, Dick (CWI, Netherlands); Coulson, Geoff (University of Lancaster, UK); Courtiat, Jean-Pierre (LAAS, France); Diaz, Michel (LAAS, France); Dssouli, Rachida (University of Monstreal, Canada); Fry, Michael (UTS, Australia); Gibbs, Simon (GMD, Germany); Glinert, Ephraim P (Renssalaer Polytechnic Institute); Gu, Junzgong (East China Normal University, PRC); Hashimoto, Shuji (Weseda University, Japan); Karmouch, Ahmed (University of Ottawa, Canada); Kunii, Tosiyasu (University of Aizu, Japan); Lee, Myeong Won (Korea Telecom, Korea); Li, Victor (University of Southern California, USA); Magnenat-Thalmann, Nadia (University of Geneva, Switzerland); Sénac, Patrick (ENSICA, France); Shimojo, Shinji (Osaka University, Japan); Shinagawa, Yoshihisa (University of Tokyo, Japan); Tanimoto, Steven L (University of Washington, USA); Thalmann, Danial (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Switzerland); Whang, Kyu-Young (Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Korea); Wu, Jian-Kang (Institute of Systems Science, Singapore); Zhang, Hong-Jiang (HP Research Lab., USA) *** SPONSORS MMM'97 is organized and sponsored by the Department of Information Systems & Computer Science, National University of Singapore; and the Computer Graphics Society (CGS), Geneva, Switzerland. ===================================================================
