AXMEDIS 2006 Detailed Programme

AXMEDIS 2006 seeks to promote discussion and interaction between researchers, practitioners, developers and users of tools, technology transfer experts, and project managers. AXMEDIS 2006 Conference brings 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.

In 2005, the first AXMEDIS International Conference was held in Florence, Italy with over 230 attendees from 22 countries, including 48% from research and academic sectors, 37 % from the industry, 7.4% from government and 4% from cultural institutions, etc. AXMEDIS2006 incorporated 2 co-located Workshops, 2 R&D Panels, and 4 Tutorials.
