Call for Papers

I-MEDIA 08 - 2nd INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON NEW MEDIA TECHNOLOGY

3-5 September 2008 Graz, Austria http://www.i-media.tugraz.at

OBJECTIVES =========== Media technologies are currently facing challenges and opportunities arising from a number of trends: Under the Web 2.0 umbrella, social aspects of software are gaining importance, and a new focus on simplicity in user interface design is taking hold. New display devices (e.g. e-paper) and client software (e.g. geo-browsers) revolutionize the production and consumption of media products such as newspapers. At the same time, semantic technologies are maturing to the point where their broad adoption becomes almost inevitable. In conjunction with new media, semantic technologies and social software catalyze virtual communities by matching people of similar interests, browsing behavior, or geographic location.

Acknowledging these fundamental changes, I-MEDIA will bring together traditional media companies, new media start-ups and academics to shape the future of new media technology, and to make the most of distributed text, audio and video resources.

I-KMEDIA will be complemented by I-KNOW (www.i-know.at) the International Conference on Knowledge Management and the International Conference on Semantic Systems (www.i-semantics.at). Both conferences will be held concurrently with I-KNOW. This extension reflects the increasing importance and convergence of knowledge management, new media technologies and semantic technologies.
