MMM 2001 — Papers


Conference date: November 5-7, 2001

CWI was pleased to host The Eight International Conference on Multimedia Modeling (MMM 2001).
MMM 2001 continues the MMM series' exploration of models and abstractions for multimedia creation, representation, storage, delivery, processing, presentation and final interface. This year's foci were on authoring and creation, standards, intelligent delivery and presentation, and the recent (re-)introduction in the field of semantic models for multimedia and for the Web.

For more information on the whole series of International Conferences on Multimedia Modeling, see the MMM Homepage.
