Call for Papers IDMS'98
5th International Workshop on Interactive Distributed
Multimedia Systems and Telecommunication Services
8. - 11. September 1998, Oslo, Norway

The Fifth International Workshop on Interactive Distributed Multimedia
Systems and Telecommunication Services follows the successful IDMS
workshops held 1997 in Darmstadt and 1996 in Berlin. The purpose of this

workshop is to bring together researchers, developers, and practitioners

from academia and industry. The workshop serves as a forum for
discussion, presentation, and exploration of technologies and their
advances in the broad field of interactive distributed multimedia
systems and telecommunication services -- ranging from basic system
technologies
such as networking and operating system support to all kinds of
teleservices and distributed multimedia applications. Case studies and
papers describing experimental work are especially welcome. Relevant
topics include, but are not limited to

=B7 High-speed/ATM networks
=B7 Mobile multimedia systems
=B7 Multimedia over sattelite
=B7 Multimedia middelware
=B7 Quality of service issues
=B7 Media scaling
=B7 Resource management
=B7 Protocol design and implementation
=B7 Distributed multimedia database systems
=B7 Development tools for distributed multimedia applications
=B7 Multimedia-specific intelligent agents
=B7 Computer supported collaborative work
=B7 Distributed virtual reality systems
=B7 Distance education
=B7 Conferencing
=B7 Digital libraries
=B7 Interactive television
=B7 Video-on-demand systems
=B7 Compression algorithms

IDMS'98 will consist of a three day technical program, 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 encurage contributions in form of full papers and
position papers. Full papers are expected to describe innovative and
significant work. The purpose of position papers is to provide a seed
for debate and discussion. Position papers enable researchers to present

exciting ongoing work in early stages, suggestions for future
directions,
and concerns about current developments. Both types of papers will be
reviewed by the program committee and printed in the workshop
proceedings. The proceedings will be published in the Springer LNCS
series and will be available during the workshop. It is intended to
forward selected papers to a special issue of the "Computer
Communications" Journal.

Information for authors: Authors are invited to submit full papers and
position papers for review. Submitted manuscripts must describe original

work (not submitted or published elsewhere). Full papers must not be
longer than 20 double spaced pages and position papers must not be
longer than 8 double spaced pages. Both types of papers should contain
an
abstract of approximately 300 words, and include title, authors and
affiliations. The submission process of papers will be handled
electronically. Detailed description of the electronic submission
procedures is available on the IDMS'98 web page:

http://www.unik.no/~idms98.

Authors without web access may send mail to
idms98@unik.no requesting electronic submission information. Authors
unable to submit electronically are invited to send 5 copies of their
contribution to one of the workshops chairs ATTN: IDMS'98.
