USA-India Bilateral Seminar on Multimedia Science & Technology, September 1995, New Delhi

9523564 Rangan描述：这项建议将支持6名美国专家参加计划于1995年9月在新德里举行的美国-印度多媒体科学和技术研讨会。主持人是印度政府电子部秘书N·维塔尔。在研讨会上，来自美国的六位顶尖专家将发表演讲，讨论最合适的合作领域。计算机/网络的最新进展正在彻底改变信息获取、合成、出版、传递、学习和使用的过程。大容量存储磁盘和高速光纤网络使各种媒体(如文本、音频和视频)在存储和交付过程中得以集成。这些进步正在刺激多媒体技术，使用户能够通过宽带网络获得多种形式的信息--期刊、讲座、历史文献、电影和报纸。多媒体科学引发了数字多媒体、无墙图书馆、远程教育等一系列创新。范围：作为这项活动的一部分，美国能源部将为美国参与者提供访问美国能源部分散在印度的几个实验室的机会，在那里他们将能够与印度同事一起调查重要的多媒体S&T研究挑战。其中包括远程学习、计算机支持的多媒体协作工作和数字图书馆。这一活动对美国非常有益，因为他们将在印度方面非常重要和强大的领域与顶尖研究人员进行互动。***

9523564 Rangan Description: This proposal will support the participation of six US experts at the US-Indo Seminar on Multimedia Science and Technology, planned for September 1995 in New Delhi. The host is the Secretary, N. Vittal, of the Department of Electronics, Government of India. At the seminar, six leading experts from the US will give talks and discuss the most appropriate areas for joint collaboration. Recent advances in computers/networking are revolutionizing the process of information acquisition, composition, publishing, delivery,learning, and usage. Large-capacity storage disks and high-speed fiber-optic networks are enabling the integration of diverse media, such as text, audio, and video, during storage and delivery. These advances are stimulating multimedia technologies that allow several forms of information--journals, lectures, historic documents, movies, and newspapers--to be made available to users via broadband networks. The multimedia sciences have sparked a number of innovations such as digital multimedia "libraries without walls" and distance learning. Scope: As part of this activity, the DOE will provide US participants with access to several DOE laboratories scattered throughout India where they will be able to investigate important multimedia S&T research challenges with their Indian colleagues. These include distance learning, computer supported multimedia collaborative work, and digital libraries. This activity is highly beneficial for the US as they will be interacting with top-notch researchers in an area of great importance and strength on the Indian side. ***
