Multimedia on the Agenda for IBC'99 Andy Finney of the Independent Multimedia Company takes a look at the IBC conference menu. Maybe it's in the parallel session. Friday afternoon sees a paper session on MetaData, which on closer inspection is more orientated towards data delivery.

Test results will be on the agenda for this round. Demand was going to be like last time around. Intelligent Agent - a software system that can carry out a task for you, often by going off into a network and reporting back later.
