Firenze, DSI Univ. Firenze, EPFL, EUTELSAT, FHGIGD, FUPF (Univ. Pompeo Fabra), Giunti ILABS, HP, OD2, SEJER, TISCALI, ICSRiM Univ. Leeds, Univ. Readings, etc. with the Support of the MUSICNETWORK and the European Commission. Market leaders and the strongest research institutions will be present at the conferece. Current developments in the cross media domain require innovative and new technologies to meet the challenges of the marketplace. The AXMEDIS conference combines the activities of the WEDELMUSIC conference series (www.wedelmusic.org) with the AXMEDIS consortium. The AXMEDIS consortium consists of leading European digital content producers, integrators, aggregators, distributors, and information technology companies and research groups involved in content production, protection and content distribution via different channels including interactive TV (i-TV), DVBT, DVBS, personal computer, kiosk, mobile phone, PDA and others. I hope you may be interested in participating in the event contributing with a paper, or proposing a workshop or symply directly attending it. The final programme will include: tutorial on innovative technologies, industrial presentations, scientific papers, workshops, panels, presentation of a call for take up actions (see for details www.axmedis.org), MUSICNETWORK Open workshop, poster sections, social activities, etc. Please also note that we are also organising a workshop in conjuction with the MUSICNETWORK: www.interactivemusicnetwork.org. the workshop will be Vienna next 4-5 July 2005: http://www.interactivemusicnetwork.org/events/Fifth_OpenWorkshop_2005/5th%20Open%20Workshop%20of%20MUSICNETWORK_draft-v2-05.html Best regards, Paolo Nesi (General Chair) ps: please sorry if I have contacted you with this email, i hope to have given information on a conference on topics related to your work. You are free to distribute this email to colleagues you retain interested. ----AXMEDIS 2005 Call for Papers---- 1st International Conference on Automated Production of Cross Media Content for Multi-channel Distribution 30 November – 2 December 2005 Florence, Italy http://www.AXMEDIS.org/axmedis2005 Sponsored by AXMEDIS Consortium: ACIT, AFI, ANSC, COMVERSE, CPR, CRS4, DIPITA Univ.
