Introduction
The 2002 SCS Euromedia conference brings together
three individual conferences (WEBTEC, MEDIATEC and COMTEC)
culminating in two applications conferences (APTEC-ETEC).
Euromedia is a scientific event, and focuses on the exchange of
new technology, methods, tools, and applications in the wide
field of multimedia Information and Communications Technology
(ICT). A scientific event means that rather than just showing
new tools and ideas, the focus is on scientific presentations,
based on refereed papers with adequate underlying theory and if
possible empirical testing of results. The fields covered at this
conference include Web technology, multimedia, telecommunications,
mobile computing, broadband networking, distributed computing,
telematics and e-commerce. Furthermore this year Euromedia will
feature also a special "Partners for Projects Session"
WEBTEC
The WEBTEC conference focuses on new developments with respect to
Internet, Intranet, HTML, and WWW. Because of the large amount of
new tools and developments, scientific papers focusing on this
subject should always include references to other ideas and products.
If your paper describes a new language or tool, include the
theoretical basis, application, and (tested) experiences.

real-time 3-D animation have become widely available for standard
hardware platforms. The type of papers we are looking for try to
give a theoretical foundation to developments in multimedia hardware
and software, if possible comparing different alternatives so that
empirical results can form a basis for new standards and choice among
alternatives.

Author Registration
Authors are expected to register early (at a reduced fee) and to
attend the conference at their own expense to present the accepted
papers. Without early registration and payment, the paper will not
be published in the Conference Proceedings.
Submissions
For this scientific conference, it is possible to send in full papers
and extended abstracts that will be published in the proceedings.
In addition, you can submit short papers or poster presentations,
product or vendor presentations, and proposals for panel discussions.
The refereeing process for the scientific presentations will be based
on full papers and extended abstracts only. Full papers and extended
abstracts are due to arrive BEFORE DECEMBER 15, 2001 at SCS Europe
in electronic format via E-mail (uuencoded or zipped) preferably in
Word doc, RTF or PDF format). Only original papers, written in English
,which have not previously been published will be accepted.
The length of the full paper should be about 10-14 typed pages,
resulting in 6-8 two-column 10 point paper for the published paper
in the proceedings. The length of an extended abstract should be
such, that the paper can be worked out into a 6 page two-column
10 point paper for the published paper in the proceedings.
During review, the submitted FULL PAPERS or EXTENDED ABSTRACTS can
be accepted by the IPC, as either an extended (8 pages) paper if
excellent, or as a regular (6 pages) paper. Each submission will be
reviewed by at least three members of the International Program
Committee. It is also possible to submit a SHORT PAPER (1-2 page
submission) to the conference. Short papers should also be structured
as a scientific paper and will be refereed by at least one member of
the IPC, but the rules are applied less strict. Short papers are an
ideal outlet for current research or industrial applications.
Submission types in short:
* Submit a FULL PAPER (10-14 pages typed; 6-8 pages formatted,
3000-5000 words): can be accepted as a regular (6 page)or extended
(8 page) paper
* Submit an EXTENDED ABSTRACT (5-10 pages typed; 4-6 pages formatted,
2000-4000 words): can be accepted as a regular (6 page) paper
* Submit a SHORT PAPER (2-3 page submission, 1000-2000 words): can
only be accepted as short paper
* Submit less than a one page: the submission will be discarded.
Refereeing and Camera-ready papers
The notification of acceptance or rejection, in combination with
suggestions to improve the paper, will be sent by JANUARY 25, 2002.
Along with the notification of acceptance, an author kit with complete
instructions for preparing a camera-ready copy for the Proceedings
will be sent to authors of accepted abstracts or drafts. The
camera-ready copy of
the papers must be in by MARCH 5, 2002. In order to guarantee a
high-quality conference, the camera-ready papers will be checked as
well, to check see the suggestions of the program committee have been
incorporated.
