U.S.-Japan Joint Seminar: MLabNet 2000-Advanced Multimedia Systems and Applications

0089732 grosky该奖项支持美国科学家参加将于2001年10月10日至12日在日本轻井泽举行的关于MLabNet 2000先进多媒体系统和应用的美日研讨会。联合组织者是美国韦恩州立大学的William Grosky教授和日本东京国立信息研究所（NII）的Frederic Andres教授。MlabNet是一个由美国、日本、法国、意大利和泰国的多个机构组成的虚拟多媒体研究框架，自1999年4月以来一直存在。在这个框架下正在研究的两个重要项目是超大规模超媒体交付系统（VLSHDS）和MediaSys，后者为多媒体管理提供了一个可扩展的接口。建议的研讨会将包括研究报告、海报和示范。它将在这些项目的背景下评估MLabNet内部的研究合作，并解决有关国家之间信息获取和共享多媒体内容方面的问题。他们还将在与国家科学基金会框架、日本文部科学省框架和欧盟第五框架相关的未来研究问题的背景下讨论文化遗产问题。研讨会组织者特别努力让年轻的研究人员、博士后和研究生作为参与者和观察员。与该领域的日本专家交流想法和数据将使美国参与者能够推进自己的工作，并为未来的合作项目奠定基础。关于讨论会的资料将在万维网上分发。

0089732GroskyThis award supports the participation of American scientists in a U.S.-Japan seminar on MLabNet 2000-advanced multimedia systems and applications, to be held in Karuizawa, Japan from October 10-12, 2001. The co-organizers are professors William Grosky of Wayne State University and Professor Frederic Andres of the National Institute of Informatics (NII) in Tokyo, Japan. MlabNet is a virtual multimedia research framework between various institutions in the United States, Japan, France, Italy and Thailand and has existed since April 1999. Two important projects being investigated under this framework are the Very Large-Scale Hypermedia Delivery System (VLSHDS) and MediaSys, which provides an extensible interface for multimedia management.The proposed seminar will include research presentations, posters, and demonstrations. It will assess the research cooperation inside MLabNet in the context of these projects, as well as address issues in information access and sharing multimedia content between the involved countries. They will also address issues in cultural heritage, in the context of future research issues related to the National Science Foundation framework, the Japanese Ministry of Education framework, and the Fifth Framework set by the European Union. Seminar organizers have made a special effort to involve younger researchers, postdocs and graduate students as both participants and observers. The exchange of ideas and data with Japanese experts in this field will enable U.S. participants to advance their own work, and will set the stage for future collaborative projects. Dissemination of information on the seminar will be available on the World Wide Web.
