TECHNICAL PROGRAM
Multimedia Tools, End-systems, and Applications Track

For the applications and tools track in the technical program, we invite submissions in the topics below, but not limited to:

- UI metaphors
- usable distributed collaboration
- authoring
- multi-modal interaction and integration
- multimedia in e-learning
- entertainment
- personal media
- assisted living
- virtual environments

Papers should present novel multimedia tools and applications, or a theoretical or empirical contribution that advances our our understanding of how to design or implement successful multimedia tools and applications. Submission should make clear what the contribution is, and how it has been validated.

Submissions that present novel applications and tools must place these in the context of state-of-the-art multimedia research, and state clearly what the advancement compared to previous applications and tools.

If the main contribution is the application of multimedia tools and techniques to another field (for example, education, entertainment, security), the submission should
- identify and explain the need or problem in that field, and
- present some proof that the application meets the requirements and solves the problem (e.g. performance comparison or usability evaluation).
