>                     8th International Workshop on
>               Interactive Distributed Multimedia Systems
> 
>                   September 4-7, 2001, Lancaster, UK
>                        http://www.idms2001.org

> The aim of the IDMS series of workshops is to bring together 
> researchers, developers, and practitioners from academia and
> industry to provide a forum for discussion, presentation and
> exploration of technologies and advances in the broad field
> of interactive distributed multimedia systems. 
> 
> IDMS interests range from core system technologies such as 
> networking and operating system support to all kinds of
> teleservices and distributed multimedia applications.
> 
> Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:
> * Mobile multimedia systems
> * Next generation Internet 
> * Multimedia middleware 
> * Quality of service issues 
> * Multimedia communication protocols 
> * Resource management
> * Multimedia-specific mobile agents
> * Programmable networking for multimedia applications 
> * Development tools for distributed multimedia applications
> * Multimedia content management
> * Multimedia distribution and transport
> * Multimedia encoding and compression
> * Ubiquitous computing
> * Multimedia conferencing
> 
> 
> IDMS 2001 will consist of a two and a half day technical
> program, plus a full day of tutorials, and demonstrations
> during the workshop. In order to keep the flavour of a 
> workshop, the number of participants will be restricted. 
> Furthermore, we encourage contributions in the form of full
> papers and position papers. Full papers should describe
> innovative and significant work. Position papers are meant
> to enable researchers to present exciting ongoing work in
> early stages, opinions about current developments, and 
> suggestions for future directions. The purpose of position
> papers is to provide a seed for debate and discussion.
> Both types of paper will be reviewed by the program committee
> and included in the workshop proceedings. The proceedings
> will be published by Springer-Verlag as part of the Lecture
> Notes in Computer Science series.
> 
> 
> Information for authors:
> ========================
> 
> Authors are invited to submit full papers and position
> papers in electronic form (PDF, PostScript, MS Word, DVI)
> through our registration Web site. Submitted manuscripts
> must describe original work (not submitted elsewhere). 
> Final versions of accepted papers must be structured 
> according to the instructions of Springer-Verlag (authors
> are therefore encouraged to submit their manuscripts for
> review in this format also). Full papers must not be 
> longer than 12 single spaced pages and position papers 
> must not be longer than 6 single spaced pages. Both 
> types of paper should contain an abstract of approximately
> 300 words, and include title, authors and affiliations. 
> For further information, please contact a member of the 
> local organising committee, at [email-masked].
> 
> 
> Tutorials:
> ==========
> 
> The first day of the workshop will be devoted to tutorials.
> One stream of tutorials will be devoted to the Next Generation
> Internet, with recognised experts covering issues such as IPv6
> deployment and transitioning, support for mobility, QoS
> provisioning and other hot topics. A second stream of
> tutorials, aimed more towards distributed multimedia is also
> planned. Potential speakers for either stream are invited to
> send proposals for presentations covering any of the emerging
> topics relevant to the workshop. Each proposal should include
> a biography of the speaker and an outline summary of the
> presentation, and be sent to the tutorial chair for
> consideration. Please see the IDMS 2001 WWW site for further
> information.
> 
> 
> Demonstrations and Poster Sessions:
> ===================================
> 
> We are also interested in receiving information about proto-
> type multimedia systems relevant to IDMS which could be 
> demonstrated at the workshop. Furthermore, poster sessions
> will also be organised to allow delegates to disseminate
> their research ideas and results in a more interactive way.
> For more information, please contact a member of the local
> organising committee at [email-masked].
