CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS

 * Why ACM Multimedia '94?
  The second ACM Multimedia Conference will present an exciting mixture of
  technology and art. Sessions will focus on what will be the standards of
  the future; not what is happening today. The program of papers, panels,
  courses, demonstrations, videos, and exhibits will explore the breadth
  and diversity of this ever-changing technology.

 * You should be there!
  This conference will be vital for researchers, technical staff, software
  engineers, educators and artists working in any and all aspects of
  multimedia research and production. ACM Multimedia will draw attendees
  and presenters from both academia and industry, including
  telecommunications, fine arts, engineering, software development,
  multimedia production, electronic publishing, digital libraries, computer
  graphics, user interfaces, broadcast media, and networking.

 * Opening and Closing Plenaries
  The technical program kicks off with a debate by industry leaders from
  LucasArts, Philips Electronics and the new Mosaic Communications,
  moderated by Dr. R.W. Lucky, of Bellcore. They will debate their
  differing views on the evolution of the Multimedia industry.

  At the Closing Plenary, Tom Holman, the award-winning designer of the THX
  sound system and Corporate Technical Director of LucasFilm, discusses
  presentations standards for sound and graphics and Scott Marden, of
  Philips Media will give his perspective on the emerging multimedia
  industry. See page 14 for more details.

 * The Ubiquitous Art Zone
  The Ubiquitous Art Zone is that part of Multimedia '94 that presents the
  creations of artists working in multimedia. The art work ranges from
  "immersive environments" and "garage VR" to narrative works on
  interactive CD ROM and hard drive. By their use of interactive interface
  technologies, the artists invite the visitors to become participants in a
  shared experience. Come celebrate the emergence of the art made possible
  by the digital revolution.

 * Ubiquitous Art Zone/Exhibit Reception
  Please join us Tuesday evening for a reception that allows you to
  experience the full range of the arts in multimedia, as well as to spend
  some unhurried time in the exhibit hall.

 * Exhibit Hall
  This is the best opportunity to see and learn from companies who will
  share their multimedia experiences with you. Digital Equipment Corp. and
  IBM are just two of the companies who are eager to show their products
  and services.

 * Electronic Proceedings
  The conference proceedings will be available on a CD-ROM and on
  electronic network. Both media will include the text of the papers being
  presented, video clips from the video program and other material.

 * Conference Videotape
  The ACM Multimedia '94 video will feature videotapes of multimedia
  systems in action, and other topics relevant to the conference. The
  videos have been selected based on their relevance, technical content,
  originality, presentation quality, and clarity. The videotape will be
  available for purchase at the conference.

 * Demonstrations Program
  The demonstration program will feature novel research prototypes that
  demonstrate the latest advances in multimedia computing and
  communications technologies. These juried and working prototypes will be
  exhibited at regular intervals by their creators. Time will be provided
  for personal interaction with the systems.

 * Best Paper Awards
  Both the best paper and the best student paper will be presented in a
  special session on Thursday afternoon. Come hear the best of the best!

 * Vendor Track
  A special venue has been provided for exhibitor presentations on their
  products and services. This is a unique opportunity to find out about the
  tools and products that can help you be more productive.
