Programme 30 November -- 2 December 2005:

This event seeks to promote discussion and interaction between researchers, practitioners, developers and users of tools, technology transfer experts, and project managers. AXMEDIS-2005 will bring together a variety of participants from the academic, business and industrial worlds, to address different technical and commercial issues. Particular interests include the exchange of concepts, prototypes, research ideas, industrial experiences and other results.

The conference focuses on the challenges in the cross-media domain (including production, protection, management, representation, formats, aggregation, workflow, distribution, business and transaction models), and the integration of content management systems and distribution chains, with particularly emphasis on the reduction of costs and solutions for complex cross-domain problems.
