Special Issue on ‘Distributed Multimedia Information Retrieval’
Journal of Visual Languages and Computing (1998) 9, 565 Article No. vl980103
Call for Papers Special Issue on ‘Distributed Multimedia Information Retrieval’ Multimedia computing and networking change the way that people interact with computers. In line with the new multimedia hardware technology, as well as well-engineered multimedia software, multimedia computers with the assist of internet change our society to a distanceless and colorful global community. Yet, in spite of these fantasy gradually being realized, there still exist many technical problems to be solved. For instance, a visual environment that supports collaborative work not only relies on networking technology, but also the visual language which increases interaction efficiency. With the tremendous amount of pictorial and multimedia information available, the mechanisms to effectively retrieve useful and personalized resources based on information content become interesting. Especially, due to the growing popularity of internet and web, visual technology for search agents should be further studied. This special issue of the International Journal of Visual Languages and Computing will bring together original research, techniques, state-of-the-art surveys, and advanced applications in the area of visual multimedia computing. Authors considering their contributions to this special issue of JVLC are encouraged to select one or two of the following target areas: z z z z
visual languages for collaborative work ( Visual CSCW ) visual query languages for content-based information retrieval visual technology on intelligent search agent over web pictorial information and 3-D image retrieval.
