INTRODUCTION

MMM'93 will provide a forum to discuss the efficient
representation, processing, interaction, integration and
retrieval of multimedia information.  The theme of the
conference is modeling. In particular, MMM'93 will
concentrate on common modeling frameworks for integrating
the diverse fields of visual information (graphics, image
and video) and audio information (speech, music and sound
effects). MMM'93 will be held November 9-12, 1993. Future
MMM conferences are planned for November 1995 and 1997.


CALL  FOR  PAPERS
-----------------

Contributions describing original research, surveys and
applications in the following areas are solicited:

*  Topological and Geometric Modeling
*  Integration of Computer Graphics and Computer Vision
*  Model-Based Video/Vision/Graphics
*  Speech and Music Modeling
*  Integration of Multimedia Information
*  Synchronization of Multimedia Information
*  Interactive Multimedia
*  Audio, Visual and Spatial Database Modeling

Authors are requested to submit manuscripts (in English) of
no more than 6,000 words describing original results of
their research works.  The first part of the paper should
include a Title; an abstract of no more than 200 words; a
maximum of 8 keywords; Author's name(s), title, affiliation,
mailing and E-mail addresses, short biography and photo; and
a statement of commitment that "if accepted, one of the
authors will present the paper at MMM'93", and the name of
the author who is responsible for the inclusion of the paper
in the conference Proceedings.  Accepted papers will appear
in a hard-covered book to be published by World Scientific
Publishing House. Color photographs and slides are welcome
in all submissions.

A preliminary round of paper review has been organized to
help new researchers and research students to improve and
fine-tune their work for MM'93.  The deadline for the
submission of papers for the preliminary review is 18th
March, 1993.  The papers will be critically reviewed, and as
much help as possible will be given to assist the authors to
improve their work for the actual submission.
