- WORKSHOPS:
- ----------
-
- During the first two days of Multimedia '93, we would like to collocate
- workshops on specific areas of multimedia research and technology.
- Evening sessions during the main conference (last three days)
- will be held to report the results workshops. Please send proposals
- (at most 3 pages, including biographical sketches of organizers) for
- 1/2 day, 1 day or 1 1/2 day workshops, indicating if they have been
- held previously, limits on attendance, names of workshop chairs,
- keywords, title, length, a list and description of topics of interest,
- A-V needs, and (optional) sponsorsing agencies.
-
- EXHIBITION:
- ---------
-
- Multimedia '93 offers a unique opportunity for vendors and researchers
