The terminology of "multimedia" is a recognition of the increasing role of the computer as medium. Like the components of the mass media of radio, television and newspapers, computers now constitute links within global communications networks. Multimedia is also a recognition of the increasingly amorphous nature of computers and information technology. Design is a vital component within this media matrix. The conference addresses the expanding role of computers within the media matrix and raises questions of importance to designers: how can designers make use of multimedia technology; how does multimedia integrate with CAD; what are the tools and techniques of multimedia; how are designers designing for this technology; how is the technology changing design practice; how is the technology being shaped by and responding to design practice; and how is multimedia affecting design and distance education? This conference explores the application of multimedia to architectural, engineering, product and graphic design. Two kinds of submissions are invited: (i) papers exploring all aspects of multimedia technology applied to design; and (ii) presentations showing the technology and its use in professional practice. The conference is for researchers, educators, managers and practitioners in the fields of design, media and information technology. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Multimedia and collaborative work Collaborative design, computer supported collaborative work, video-conferencing, networking * Multimedia development issues Human-computer interfaces, promotions/presentations, copyright, contract documentation, education, new paradigms of computing * Multimedia design support Tools and techniques, computer-aided design, integration, geographic information systems, database management systems * Impact of multimedia on design practice Design theories, practice issues, use of metaphors, communication CONFERENCE SPONSORS ------------------- Key Centre of Design Computing, University of Sydney Australian Computer Society KEYNOTE SPEAKER: BERNIE WARD ---------------------------- MULTIMEDIA AND THE SYDNEY OLYMPICS 2000 BID Bernie Ward is a Project Engineer with the NSW Public Works Department's Olympic 2000 Project. Prior to being placed on the Project, over 2 years ago, he was the Business Manager for the Department's CADD system, a sophisticated network of over 50 workstations. Whilst in the CADD area he was instrumental in developing the production process of computer generated animation `fly arounds' of public buildings. With this high end computer graphics knowledge, Bernie undertook a national campaign to seek out what computer oriented presentation techniques were available for Sydney's Bid for the Year 2000 Olympic Games. He wrote the briefs and managed the sourcing of the three sophisticated multimedia productions. Bernie travelled with the Bid lobby team to Acapulco, Argentina and Atlanta, and was part of the winning team in Monte Carlo in September 1993. SUBMISSION ---------- Papers: Five hard copies of full papers are required by 23 May 1994. The first page of the paper should have no author identification. Please provide a separate page with paper title and author(s) name/address/fax/email. Papers will be refereed and authors of accepted papers can revise their papers. Two hard copies and an electronic version (3-1/2" disk, ftp or email) of final papers are required. Authors will be expected to sign a copyright release form to allow the publication of the proceedings. One author of each paper is expected to present the paper at the conference. Presentations: Five hard copies of a one-page summary of a presentation are required by 23 May 1994. Publication: Preprints of the papers will be available at the conference and the papers will be considered for inclusion in a subsequent book.
