describing interactive multimedia art works, tools, applications, and 
technical approaches for creative uses of multimedia content and 
technology. It will also include an art exhibition.

Workshops on topics of current interest to members of the multimedia
research community will follow the technical program.

The Doctoral Symposium is an opportunity for students involved in the
preparation of a PhD to interactively discuss their research issues and
ideas with senior researchers and receive constructive feedback from 
members of the research community.
