Effective Abstractions in Multimedia
Layout, Presentation, and Interaction

Workshop to be held in conjunction with ACM Multimedia '95
Saturday, November 4, 1995
Hyatt Regency Embarcadero Hotel
San Francisco, California

Workshop description

The topic of this one-day workshop is the study of abstract representations and methods for the structuring of multimedia/hypermedia documents and interactions. While multimedia/hypermedia has enjoyed marketing success and benefited from substantial work on the underlying engineering and systems mechanisms, there has been less emphasis on principled approaches at the application level. The focus here is on concepts and techniques that are useful for structuring and organizing heterogeneous information in multimedia/hypermedia applications from the perspective of both end-user delivery and authoring.

Registration

The registration fee for the workshop is $50 for each participant. Payment can be made on-site in cash, or with a check made out to "ACM MULTIMEDIA'95." We will not be able to accept credit cards or purchase orders.
