These spaces would couple 3D media, : knowledge, data, instruments, and intellectual activity across : space, : time and disciplinary boundaries. Exploiting agent trends, : these : spaces could support people in finding and communicating with : others : with similar interests, needs and goals to form new communities : : with their own traditions, cultures, norms, and conventions; to : build : their own virtual environments on 3D media with unique atmospheres : and characteristics; to offer people new forms of interaction : and : presentation in business, education, and entertainment. : The knowledge media spaces would support sharable ontologies, : processes for distributed classification and taxonomy, collaborative : : knowledge construction, representation and filtering tools, : digital : libraries and repositories across disciplines and application domains. : : Topics: include : : - Applications ( Electronic Commerce, Learning, Entertainment, ..) : - Architectural aspects of designing knowledge media spaces (3D virtual : presence, internet, agents, mobility, VRML, MPEG4, MPEG7, TV..) : - Frameworks and initiatives (NSF KDI (KN), KMDI, KMI, FIPA..) : - Interconnection of heterogeneous communities, resource sharing,.. : - How can people socially augment knowledge bandwidth, through : gathering, discussing, contributing, annotating and rating? : - What types of agents should be offered and what roles should : they have (distributed cognition, dynamic adaptation, focus of : attention, social awareness..)? : - What features are needed to increase impact of the knowledge networked : : environment for social interactions, cooperative communication? : - What kind of rules, artifacts, conventions and infrastructure must : be provided to help community members self organize and manage their : affairs, increase knowledge bandwidth, develop a feeling of social : awareness? : : SUBMISSION DEADLINE: March 10th 2000 : : Chair: Fawzi Daoud, GMD, Germany (daoud@gmd.de, f.daoud@ieee.org) : : Program Committee: : : Akihiko Obata, Fujistu Labs, Japan : Angi Voss, GMD, Germany : Annika Waern, SICS, Sweden : Celestin Sedogbo, Thomson CSF/LCR, France : Daniel Thalmann, EPFL, Switzerland : Elisabeth Andre, DFKI GmbH, Germany : Fumio Hattori, NTT Labs, Japan : Hiroshi Yajima, Hitachi Labs, Japan : Hubert Le Van Gong, Sony Labs, Japan : Ingrid Carlbom, Bell Labs, USA : John Davies, British Telecom Labs, UK : Keiichi Nakata, GMD, Germany : Kenji Takahashi, NTT Labs, USA : Knut Hinkelmann, Insiders, Germany : Larry Korba, NRC, Canada : Liempd E.P.M.
