CALL FOR PAPERS

International Workshop on Multimedia Software Engineering (MSE'98)
(in conjunction with International Conference on Software Engineering)
URL: http://kel.eecs.uic.edu/MSE98/


April 20-21, 1998

Kyoto International Conference Hotel, Kyoto, Japan

Despite the growing importance of multimedia applications, we still know
relatively little about how to specify, design and maintain this class of
complex applications in a systematic manner. The purpose of this workshop
is to bring together active researchers in the area of software engineering
and multimedia systems to exchange and evaluate the issues, experience,
and trends in this area.

MSE'98 will be conducted as a combination of paper presentations,
invited talks, and panel discussion. Submission of high
quality papers describing mature results or on-going work are
invited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- multimedia software architecture
- representation of media types
- modelling and metamodelling techniques
- architecture specification languages
- software development using multimedia techniques
- multimedia authoring
- multimedia file systems and databases
- multimedia over mobile systems
- user-interface design
- requirements and design specification techniques
- distributed software development environment
- metrics, analysis, testing and debugging techniques
- visual programming
- software process models for multimedia applications

PAPER SUBMISSIONS

Papers are solicited from potential participants
of this workshop. Papers must be written in English,
with the length of no more than 20 pages, and printed using
at least 11-point type and double spacing. Authors are requested
to submit their paper electronically (postscript or pdf format only)
and followed by a hard copy to the respective Program Co-Chairs.
The paper should have a cover page which includes a 200-word abstract,
a list of keywords, and author's phone number and e-mail address.
