>Call for Papers for
>Journal of Visual Languages and Computing:
>
>Special Issue on
>Multimedia Languages for the World Wide Web
>
>
>
>Due date for prospective papers: April 15, 2001
>Tentative publication date: December 2001
>
>1. Motivation
>
>As content on the World Wide Web has increasingly incorporated visual
>and multimedia data (images, video and audio) traditional languages for
>dealing with this content (e.g. HTML) are more and more seen as
>inadequate. Visual languages (both visual information processing
>languages and iconic programming languages) offer a way to more
>adequately describe, process and present visual and multimedia data on
>the Web. This issue will address issues relevant to designing,
>developing, and utilizing various types of languages (programming,
>authoring, mark up, and scripting) for multimedia on the World Wide
>Web.  Among the aspects which need to be considered are: distributed
>multimedia languages; multimedia extensions of existing programming
>languages; Web-based query-by-example; iconic languages for multimedia
>authoring; standardization efforts in Web-based mark-up languages;
>visual interfaces for scripting languages for web pages; extension of
>visual languages to multi-dimensional languages.
>
>2. Topics of interest
>
>Contributions are solicited in all areas related to the use of
>multimedia languages on the World Wide Web. Topics include, but are not
>limited to:
>
>Innovative use of existing or evolving languages such as:
>         XML
>         SMIL
>         VRML
>         Java Media Framework
>         MHEG
>Methods for addressing the specific needs of multimedia languages:
>         Quality of Service
>         Media Synchronization
>         Adaptability
>         Presentation Layout
>         Multi-dimensional grammars and parsing
>         Visual aspects of WWW computing:
>         Linking visual aspects to other modes
>         Problems of visual interpretation on the Web
>
>3. Submission information
>
>Paper submitted should contain original materials not published in or
>submitted to other journals. Six copies of the manuscript including the
>original (reproduction are acceptable if they are clearly legible) and
>copies of all figures have to be submitted to one of the Guest Editors.
>(In addition, an electronic version of the manuscript is also accepted
>but only if in the pdf file format). One reproducible set of figures
>(professionally drafted ink originals of line drawings and glossy prints
>
>of halftones) will be required if the paper is accepted. Manuscript
>should be typewritten, double spaced on one side of 8.5 in ƒG 11 in white
>
>paper with 1 inch margins. Page 1 should contain the article title,
>author(s), affiliation(s), the name and the complete address of the
