Images have been the main propellant for the Internet's popularization.
Expectations for performance and quality of images are driving new
technologies as the space of web-connected business and commercial imaging
solutions grows and as the cost of Web access and high quality reproduction
hardcopy devices drops. New applications are appearing to take advantage of
these opportunities, and exposing new system requirements.
This conference is intended as a forum for discussing these technologies,
applications, and challenges facing them. The participants will present the
most recent developments in the appropriate representation, communication,
and rendering of images using the Internet. Focus of the conference is on
novel means of still image capture, coding, computation and representation
specific to the Internet, efficient transport
of images over networks, display and rendering of image received over
networks, and the requirements of applications which derive value from the
use of these technologies. Unmet needs of desired applications are also
relevant. Algorithms, protocols, software, hardware, communications
systems, and applications are appropriate topics.
Papers are solicited in the following areas, and special attention is given
to new applications and requirements created by opportunities on the Internet:
* image processing for Internet, reuse of softcopy and hardcopy images:
data compression and representation, coding for multiresolution or
resolution-independent images
* imaging issues in content-based indexing, search and retrieval
* virtual and augmented reality, VRML, image stitching
* systems issues: color space architectures, computation for images on the
Internet, automatic printing, and displaysfor Internet appliances
* network image transport: protocols, XML applications, Web crawling,
caching, capability exchange, negotiation, and security
* network computing: distributed computing, performance analysis, fault
tolerance & failure recovery, media
synchronization, transaction managers, directory & agent services
* social and legal issues and technical solutions for the Internet
including copyright, content rating, watermarking, authentication,
non-repudiation, and notification
* interactive image creation for the Internet: artistic impression, Web
design and visual sign, semiotics, advanced man-machine interfacing, and
visual languages
* publishing on the Internet: graphic arts requirements, commerce systems,
agents, image syndication, leasing, resolution and quality requirements,
palettization, file formats, capture systems
* classifying images: cataloging, categorization, thesauri, iconography,
ontologies, metadata, XML solutions
* cultural heritage applications: image permanence issues, scanning
strategies, cataloging, presentation and
publication strategies, CD-ROM vs. Internet
In deciding where to submit their papers, potential authors are advised to
also consider such closely related EI 2000 conferences like Storage and
Retrieval for Image and Video Databases, Security and Watermarking of
Multimedia Contents, and Color Imaging: Device-Independent Color, Color
Hardcopy, and Graphic Arts.

Paper Review
To ensure a high-quality conference, all abstracts and Proceedings of SPIE
papers will be reviewed by the
Conference Chairs for technical merit and content.
Publishing Policy
Manuscript due dates must be strictly observed. Whether the conference
volume will be published before or after the meeting, late manuscripts run
the risk of not being published in the Proceedings of SPIE. The objective
of this policy is to better serve the conference participants and the
technical community at large. Your cooperation is appreciated by all.
Final Summary
Accepted authors will receive instructions for submission of the 200-word
Final Summary in their author kit. The Final Summaries will be published
and available at the meeting.
Oral or Poster Presentation
Accepted authors will receive instructions for Oral and Poster
presentations in their author kit. All Oral and Poster presentations are
included in the Proceedings of SPIE and require a manuscript.
Proceedings of SPIE
These conferences will result in volumes published in the Proceedings of
SPIE that can be ordered through the Advance Technical Program.
Camera-ready manuscripts are required of all accepted applicants and must
be submitted in English by 1 November 1999. Copyright to the manuscript is
expected to be
released for publication in the Proceedings of SPIE. Note:
If an author does not attend the meeting and make a presentation, the
chair may choose not to publish the author's manuscript in the conference
volume. Papers published are indexed in
leading scientific databases including INSPEC, Compendex Plus, Physics
Abstracts, Chemical Abstracts, International Aerospace Abstracts, and Index
to Scientific and Technical Proceedings.
Participant Registration Fee
Authors and coauthors are accorded a reduced symposium registration fee.
